Woke up and ran to Rosecrest.  Ran with the kids to the Stake center on 6400 W and back.  Then I ran home.  It was super warm, probably 60s at 5:15am.  7:14 pace for the run.

Ran over to Rosecrest and ran around Butterfield Park with the kids, and then home.  Added an extra mile on Leila.  7:11 pace.  I am headed down to St. George today until Saturday for an AD conference, and I am looking forward to getting away.

Met Clyde, Steve, Bill (Wild Bull), and Dustin at the park by the Dixie Center this evening for a run.  It was in the mid 70s and pretty windy, so I was glad it wasn't too hot.  It was good to run with those guys again, it has been years.  We did a loop through the old and new Painters courses on the trail and around Bloomington.  I mostly ran with Clyde until we hit the park with the potty and then we picked up Steve.  About 7 miles into it Clyde took off on some tempo and Steve followed him.  My left calf that was so tight yesterday started to tighten on me 3 miles into the run.  Between the calf and the late lunch that wasn't settling well with me I decided to just cruise the last 3 miles instead of attempting to go with them.  Finished the run and added another .4 miles to make it a 10 miler.  6:40 pace for the run.  Felt fine other than the calf.  I need to get into a Chiropractor soon because I must be imbalanced.

Slept in this morning finally.  The run this morning was super easy, mostly because my left calf is so sore.  I worked on it good last night with my stick and my hands and it helped it loosen up and get more sore at the same time.  I ran out of Sunbrook and up Dixie Dr. to Sunset.  I found a paved trail and ran on it through some condos for a while.  Then I turned around and headed back on the trail.  The trail ended back on Dixie Dr. about a mile from the Sunbrook turnoff.  I came back the same way after that.  Loosened up as I went, but kept the pace easy.  Beautiful day down here in St. George!  7:26 pace for the run.

Met Clyde and Steve this morning at some churches by Desert Hills.  We ran on some Bingham Hwy out toward Arizona in the middle of no where.  The run looped back into Bloomington eventually.  We were cruising along at sub 7:00 ave for almost the first 10 miles.  Steve started to fall back a little here.  We stopped for Clyde's at least once a run potty break at a bathroom, and split up.  Clyde went farther and Steve ann I ran back to the start.  Steve was hurting, so I just stayed backed with him and chatted.  7:04 pace for the run even with the last 3 miles pretty slow.  Felt Like I could have went 20 miles today, I just didn't have time because I had to get to my conference.  I had a good time running with Steve and Clyde.  It is nice to have a titch more mature conversation on a run than I do with my Track and XC kiddos.
