Speed only kills if you don't have it!

Got up early and ran up to Butterfield Canyon and back home via Cove Pond.  This was a tough run because my legs are shot from Saturday's  20 miler.  I pushed through anyway and got it done.  I was just over 8:00 going un and ended up 7:35 ave.  Glad to be done.

Went and hiked Snowbird after with the family.  Super hot out, but fun.

AM- Got up this morning and met some of the boys at Rosecrest (I ran over) and we did a loop down to 13400 S and up Juniper.  I went on Rosecrest to the church and then turned around and headed home.  It was nicer this morning, but still around 70 degrees.   6 miles at 7:36 ave

PM- Today was about 95 degrees and the air is horrible and smoky from the fire up Weber Canyon. I ran the opposite way as the kids did and went up Emeline from Butterfield and to the Res and up and over Blackridge.  5.5 miles at 7:55 ave.  Knee was stiff, but not too bad on the trail.

Ran to Monarch then went with the kids up 13400 S to Rosalina and Mirabella and back home n Rosecrest and Juniper.  7:17 ave.  Smoke was better today and it is possible that a small storm is coming and will clean the air a bit.  

Greg, Chris and I drove to Alta and to run down to Draper Park.   It was about 93 degrees and still a bit of smoke, but nice up the canyon.  About 2 miles in there was a big storm that hammered us for 4 miles.  It was nice because it cleaned the air and cooled everything down, plus it felt good.  The bad was it got us soaked, even our shoes.  Chris and I lost Greg a bit going down.  At about 7 miles I started having stomach issues which I rarely have.  I stopped at a bathroom at 9.5, but that didn't do the trick, my stomach was wrecked the rest of the way.  Lucly for me I was able to hold enough pace that I still aveaged 6:20 for the 15.5 miles.  7:12 for mile 12 was my only mile over 7:00.  Good run overall, even though I dn't feel good now.  Chris took off form me at 10 and ended up going 20 miles.  Greg ended up getting done before me, but my ave pace was 19 sec per mile faster.   Glad to get this one done!

My stomach was wrecked after the run last night.  I tossed and turned half the night.   I woke up early, so instead of running at the meet, I just got up and went out for 2.5 miles to loosen the legs up.  It was very nice weather this morning and the air was clean.  Legs are trashed, but it felt good to move once I got going a bit.  7:46 ave.
