Butterfield canyon run today.  I was so tired this morning from the weekend that I had a hard time pulling myself out of bed. 

We had a lot of kids that were gone today, but still had some decent kids there.  The beginning of the run was tough for me because it took me forever to warm up.  Plus, I don't do uphills very well right now because sometimes my psoas just doesn't work very good.  I kind of drag up the hills now days.  I caught Connor about 2.5 miles up, and Bradyon  about 3.  Braydon and I ran the last mile together, he actually drug me up the nasty parts.  We waited for some of the other guys to get to the turn around before heading down.  The down is where I always lose everyone, and it is always my goal for them to stay with me, Riverton used to be the same way.  I hit 6:25, 6:05 (everyone else died here), 5:56, and 5:39 coming down. 

I am pooped now, but that was a great run for me.  Now I need to roll out on the foam roller, stretch, and find time for a nap today, which probably won't happen,

wow...those boys (and you of course) are FAST! That isn't an easy canyon to hit those paces on - makes me feel sluggish and slow!
