3 1/4 miles around Wheeler Farm with the puppy.  Ran more than I walked.  Tomorrow I hope to be able to do gentle running the whole time.  Still soreness in the quads - but much better than the previous days.  The butt bruising is no longer painful.

Tomorrow I will add to my lack of humility and take my coffee mug to work so that I can remember all the 'fun' I had during the 9 1/4 hours or toil and labor on Saturday.  Who wants to make it a party next year?

I am registered for a 10K in Sandy on 4th of July morning.  If the legs are recovered I will try and break 60 minutes for a new PR.  If not - I will go for a PR and figure out my racing strategy for the Des News 10K later this month. If there is any chance at all of injuring myself by racing - I will just make it a hard run.  There is still a lot for me to learn about short races and that will help me improve my long races as well.

You can treat the Sandy 10Ks as tempo run, (especially if the course is fairly flat),somewhat uncomfortable , but not all out like 5K race. I think you can totally break 60 min. at DNews. It has a sweet downhill, doesn't it?

smooth - I have only run the Des News marathon - never did the 10K before. This will be a first for me.
