Easy evening run up High Country and out around the stump and back.  Had to use the bathroom almost the entire run, should have taken care of business beforehand and enjoyed the run more.  Still sore!  7:52 ave

Ran from the cabin down to Lava.  It was hot and hard as usual.  This was the slowest and probably worst shape I have been in for this run in 9 years.  Still did it in 1:01:15 and the slowest mile was 7:34 for the 8th mile.

Started out this morning by waking up and realizing that I had set the wrong alarm!  I hurried to Monarch wher I met my coaches, Tim, Chris, and Greg.  We drove up Butterfield Canyon and ran down to Monarch via going on 6400 west and up around the Cove pond.  we lost Tim about 3-4 miles and Chris took off up the Rose Canyon Road, but waited for us at the bathrooms.  Greg fell back at this point and I realized that Greg's estimation of distance was off and we would actually be closer to 13 than 12, but we decided to go the 13 anyway.  Chris was nice enough to stay with me at this point until the end.  When we got to Monarch we had to do a loop around the park for the 13.  Longest run since St. George last year.  Knee was bugging at the first and off and on but I managed ok.  6:50 ave, with several miles around 6:30.  I am now officially tired!

went out this morning on a long run.  This is my last day of summer, big bummer!  I went out around the Cove pond and down 6400 west but insteadof an out and back I switched it up which made it harder.  I kept going up Main for about a mile and turned around and went all the way up 6400 west to Butterfield, which knocked out my water stop.  Went down and took Emeline up the hill then turned around and went down Crown Rose to Rose Crest and home via Juniper.  Last mile was 6:25, and only 4 miles were under 7:00.  It was good and tough for me, and I am glad I did it.  7:17 ave

Met Greg and Chris at Draper Park and attempted to drive upto Alta, but the canyon was closed for a half marathon.  So we parked at the park and ride and went 3.5 miles up the canyon into the wind.  This kicked my but and I was going about 10:30 or more average.  We ran down from there and down Wasatch Bvld and 1700 East to Draper Park adding on about .6 miles at the end.  Tgis was a tough and good run for me.  My knee was giving me issues for part of the run, especially the steep parts.  7:38 ave

We had a big Staek and egg break at Black Bear after the run.

Greg stayed over at my house and we headed down to Payson and caught the bus for the Nebo Half at 5:00am.  Since my fitness isn't good and I am still hurt I wanted to run between 1:18 and 1:20.  We got a warm up  mile, Greg did a bit more, and hit the potties at the Payson Lakes camp ground.  The first 9 miles was relaxed and at about 5:52 ave, and then my lack of fitness kicked in and I went 6:11, 6:24, 6:34, 6:23, and 6:28.  Greg was kind enough to run the whole run with me too.  Iended up being a good training run and I still placed 8th overall and 2nd in my age, and never was passed by anyone that I didn't pass back, so I will take it.  Finished the half with a 1:19:44.  Cooled down for 2 miles after.  Greg made his a 20 milers.  Legs are toast!
