Speed only kills if you don't have it!

Today is my Birthday and I have so much going on (school, physicals for all spring sports, practice, and a Region planning meeting) I probably won't get home until 8:30pm.  I Woke up at 5:00am and ran out to the Cove and back.  The weather was not too bad, but I am not used to running that early.  I saw several women out running by themselves in the dark at 5:00am.  I ran up on several and scared them pretty bad.  I thinking how I wouldn't let my wife do that by herself, too many creepers around.  Anyway, I got a few miles in.  7:38 pace.

Easy run today.  I ran with Greg and Tanner at practice.  Tanner hasn't been running much because of basketball, my psoas was hurting and Greg just tagged along.  We went up the trail from Monarch and out to the Cove pond and back on Rosecrest and Juniper.  7.2 miles at 7:52 pace.  The wind was freezing cold and blowing hard today, but the run wasn't bad.

Ran over to Rosecrest Park and met the kids today.  The weather was WAY nicer than the past couple of days!  We ran up Emeline to the Res and back.  I ran home after.  7.6 miles at 7:10 pace.  

AM- Got up just after 5:00am.  I was so tired from the week and I played basketball last night for the first time in over a year and a half.  I was sore from that!  Temp was in the 20s and I had a hard time moving, I struggled through the whole run out to Butterfield Park and back, but got it done.  No single women today, they were all in pairs.  Maybe I scared them into in after Monday. 7:42 pace

PM- Ran with Jenny from the school, and before practice, down 6000W and up Main and back.  Nice afternoon and this time the pace felt easy, unlike this morning.   7:47 pace

Easy 10.2 around Herriman with Greg, Jenny and my track kids.  Still sore from basketball, but loosened up as I went.  First half was about 8:00 pace and then 7:00pace the second half.  7:36 ave.  First 40 mile week in 3 years!
