Easy run down to Monarch, met the kids and ran out to Butterfield Park with them, then turned around and ran home.  Felt ok for not running all week and being sick, but my breathing was rough.  7:41 pace.  First run of the year.

Trail run on the shoreline trail with the kids.  Warm today, so it was way sloppy, snow, ice, mud, etc.  Fun run, but slow and messy.  9:20 ave for the 5 miles.

Ran down to Monarch and ran with the kids up to the Res on the trail.  Holy Crap I was not ready for that!  Legs are still sore too.  We took Emeline to Mirabella, and down Shaggy on the way back.  I turned home early, but had to run the last 400 up the hill home.   Last mile was still 6:18 and the last 3 were 6:40, 6:23, 6:18.  7:22 ave

Met the kids at Monarch and then went out with them for a couple miles up the trail and private road.  Some went 7 and the rest of us went down 6400 W and 13400 S.  Peter took off at one point and I ttried to catch him, but never could.  Last mile was 5:58. 5 miles at 7:04 ave.  First time the legs weren't sore this week.

Trail run Tuesday on the shoreline trail.  Not as muddy as last week, probably because it was so cold.  A lot of snow too.  Ran opposite way than last week and with less slop we ran faster.  8:33 pace.

Ran down to Monarch and then ran with, mostly behind Lucy and my boys over through the neighorhoods to Mirabella and then over to Main and down 13400 S.  The kids took off at Mirabella and I chased.  They stopped at Artic Circle and I went to Monarch and then home.  Mile 4-7 were 6:28, 6:07, 6:31, 6:39.  52:30 for the whole run, 7:00 ave.  Kicked my butt!

Met the kids and ran up Butterfield. The boys and Lucy took off and I had no desire to chase. The roads were deep snow packed, all but a few spots at the bottom of the canyon. Wish I would have had trail shoes. The air was clean though. The 3rd mile got rough, so we turned around and everyone added at the bottom. 6.5 miles in 54:39, 8:24 ave.

Ran up Butterfield again.  The melt from the weekend left a lot of ice and most bare road that apeared had black ice.  From 2 miles up it was deep snow, and a real calf burner the last mile.  1:00:10 for the 7 miles.

Met the kids half way between home and Monarch.  Then ran up to the Cove Ppnd and back.  We did a half mile of tempo on the way back, a half mile of recover, and a mile of tempo.  The last 1.5 was normal pace.  It felt good and weird, and hurt to run fast.  Been a while.  7:08 ave for the run.  Last 4 miles were under 6:40.

Ran down to Monarch and then ran a loop with the kids up to Emeline, passed Butterfield, down 6400 W to Main, to 5600 W, and back on 13400 S.   Ran home at the end.  6 miles were under 7:00 pace.  Kind of a progressive run.  Ran the fast part with Tanner.  7:02 ave for the run.
