Speed only kills if you don't have it!

Warm and windy day.  I was too tired to get up early so I went on a run when I got home from track.  I did a loop up 700 N. toward PG, and came back on 300 N. and passed the AF HS.  The last mile was tempo into the wind  in 6:06.  41:07 for the run.

(Omni- 428 miles)

5:00am- Did a loop passed the hospital and Temple.  Dark and very cold. I am not off to a good start this week and won't get to go again today because of a track meet at our place. I can't see the rest of the week being much better.  7:27 pace.

(Kayano- 40 miles) 

I still have remnants of being sick after two months but am getting the itch to get going.  I always plan to run at practice with my kids but it only happens half of the time. 

Nicer day with some sun at least.  I ran with some of my kids down to the river trail and back.  It was an easy 6 miles.  When I got home I did 4 more miles at an easy 7:32 pace on a loop around the east side of AF.  

(Kahana- 183 miles) 

5:00-  Very cold morning, in the 20s!  I did the Lone Peak Alpine hwy 8 mile loop.  I am looking forward to a warm day today, and a short practice.  Hopefully I can get out later today. 59:19 for the run.

 (2130- 8 miles)

PM- Allison went to her parents so I had time to get out on another run.  It was warm and very windy.  I decided to see if I could find the Highland Park trail from Cedar Hills since I was finally running around home when it was light.  I went into Cedar hills via 700 N. in AF and 600 900 W. in PG.  I found where part of the trail starts thanks to the course tool and jumped on it.  I followed it until it went through the golf course where I had been before.  Then I jumped back on it just North of Lone Peak, a part of the trail I found out about from Kerry.  This park took me behind the High School down into a park where everyone was fishing on a nice warm evening.  The trail then dumped me into a neighborhood off of the Alpine hwy, so I took it and 200 E. home. I was having a nice run and a good time exploring new route, but I could really feel the heat, something I am not used to right now.  I could have used a drink with that warm wind blowing against me for most of the run.  I was happy to get 18 miles today, since I haven't had that many miles lately. 1:13:28 for the 10 miles

I was tired and have a track meet all day but I decided to drag myself out of bed and get 50 miles for the week, and I am glad that I did! I went out early and ran up 50 N. in AF into PG. That road turns into a nasty hill that climbs all the way up to the top of PG and Grove Creek canyon. I ran up to the parking lot for the trails up the canyon and then ran home. Like I said, I was tired from a rough week and from trying to get a few miles in the last couple of days but I pushed on. I felt a sense of accomplishment making a decent week out of nothing and ending with a run that was good and hard. I will have to check out some of those trails up Grove Creek too.  This was my first 50 mile week since I got sick around Presidents day!  1:16:41 for the run.
