Noon run, partly cloudy, temp. 95'

My legs are still sore from the Bryce Canyon half but the outside of my left leg shin is really sore.  I felt it on the half marathon as we stayed on the right side of the road the entire race.  Sometimes the road would have a pretty good slope to it and my left shin/ankle would hurt.  It was cramping up right after the race as I was walking around.  I was hoping to run the last 1/4 mile with Tom and Bob but my legs and shin were trying to cramp up.

On the run today my shin was hurting and I almost quit and went back after a mile but the longer I ran on it the better it got.  It didn't go away but it got so I could at least run without to much pain.  Maybe a little IBprofen will help.

Noon  run, partly cloudy, breezy, temp. 90'

Some went out to do the Speedy Spaniard today, I went out to do the Slow Utahn.  I had done about a mile of my slow race when Eric May a work friend came by on the trail and asked me to help in through a tempo run.  I told him it was a slow day for me but he insisted so I went.  Luckily his tempo run was at 7:45 minute pace or I would have been hurting. 

My legs felt better than yesterday but they are still sore from Bryce.

Noon run, mostly sunny, breezy, temp. 80-85'

I talked to a soccer mom who had jumped a fence and connected to the next path on the Jordan river.  I headed south on the path from work and jumped a fence and cut through a field with a couple of horses and found the path again.  If a soccer mom can do it I should be able to do it.  I was hoping the horses were nice and the owner would shoot me.  It all worked out.  There is only about a 1/4 mile that is not connected.  I wish they would connect it so I had more Jordan River path to run at lunch. 

My legs have still not recoved from the Bryce Canyon beating.  But they feel better every day.

Morning run, temp. 60-65'

It was very plesant to finally have a run in the low 60's.  The cool weather made me want to run fast even though I could feel a slight bit of soreness.
