Every Race is an Adventure!

5 miles @ 9:09/mi

A good run for me. Kevin and I spent most of the time talking about the tragedy at the Boston Marathon yesterday. So much sadness, for what?

3 miles @ 8:57/mi Neighborhood 5K route

I've only been running Tu/Th/Sat trying to avoid overuse injury as I get back into running shape. Today was my first Wed in quite a while. I limited it to 3 miles but the pace was uptempo for me. It was the same route and exactly the same pace as last Friday. It was colder this morning and I was wearing more layers, so maybe it reflected some slight improvement.

5 miles @ 8:59/mi Murdoch trail to Cascade

3 miles @ 8:87/mi yesterday, so I feel good running two miles farther today at about the same pace. I don't think I would have done it without Kevin. He was half wheeling me most of the way back pulling me along.

I'm tired of February weather, especially since it's April. At least it's way better than frigid temps and bad road conditions of this past winter. 

Catching up on logging some runs...

 12 miles @ 9:54/mi  Provo Canyon to Vivian Park with Wayne and Kevin

Wayne and Kevin didn't stay back with me for long. Kevin turned back at 4 miles to get back home. Wayne went ahead twice and rejoined me twice. My goal was just to finish without the wheels coming off.

There was a very cold wind. Wayne's hands got so cold he couldn't feel them. He stopped at Nunns Park on the way back to thaw them with the bathroom hand dryer. My right knee acted up a bit during the last mile and I walked off and on a bit to avoid injury. If felt good at the end. I think it was just the cold. It hasn't bothered me since.
