Ran with the kids and Chris up Cove Hill and back to Butterfield Park.  I added on a mile like last week.  My hip and quad is very sore, so I was really careful on the downhill.  7:30 ave

AM-- Got up early by myself and ran 6 miles out toward the Cove and back.  It wa dark, cold and lonely, but I got it done.  6 miles at 7:38 ave

PM-  Went out about 9:00pm, weather was nice, but after my conference I had 5 hours of Parent Teacger Conference until 8:00pm, so it was an almost 14 hour work day.  The run was a tough one to get through because of dinner and fatigue, but I got it done.  3 miles loop around Rosecerst and Leila at 7:32 ave

We went to Tucanos for lunch after our conference ended so I was beyond stuffed.  I waited until after the practice at about 6:00pm to go run.  I went up Rosecrest and and Emmline out to the Juniper Crest trail head and back down Emmeline and almost to the end and back home via Emmeline, Crown Rose, Rosecrest, and Mount Ogden.  I felt awful because of lunch, but decided to stretch the hip out for the last mile in sub 6:00 to see how it felt.  It seemed ok, although it was a bit stiff after.  7:16 ave

Ran the Park City course with Chris and Greg before the meet.  Messed around during the open race and even jumped in to screw with Chase who was winning the race.  Chris and I blew by him like he was standing still and he thought we beat him.  It was hilarious!  7:19 ave

Kids pulled off the wins today eventhough some other teams out ran us.  Lots of work to do this next couple of weeks.

I drove up Butterfield Canyon and ran home.  My goal was to hit MP pace or quicker for the run.  The weather was decent because I got done before the rain.  I had my first mile 6:20, mile 8 was 6:09 into the wind, and last mile was 6:27, all other were below 6:00 and 4 were below 5:50.  

I planted a drink at 5 miles, mostly for training for next week.  When I hit 5 miles my drink was gone and some idiot had tossed it and placed their Gu and Gu bottle in it's place.  I was ticked!  I can't believe that people are such losers!  I would just leave it and not bug it while putting mine somewhere else.  Couldn't believe it!  So I finished without a drink.  I made the whole run in 59:53, so just under an hour.  5:59 ave.  Hip was ok during the run, a bit stiff but fine.
