Well, I'm getting back at it so I did 10 easy, despite some lingering soreness in my calves.  Nothing too sore, and the run actually felt good.

10 easy.  5 at -2% decline at 8:00, then 4.5 at -3% decline at 7:30, last .5 at -3% decline at 6:00.

 30 minute core class.

Foam roller, tight calves.

Ended up taking the day off.  I didn't get a run in during the morning, and was busy being a parent at my son's band event at Weber State which took all evening and night from 4:00 p.m. to 12:30 a.m.  However, I was on my feet most of the night, which is a benefit in itself.

5 miles at 8:30 on random incline to 5%, followed by 2 at 6:31 at -3% decline, then 4 at 6:27 at -3% decline, .5 at 6:21 at -3% decline and last .5 at 6:00 again at -3% decline.  The downhill felt good.

30 minute core class.

Foam roller after.

I was glad I got up to do the run because I was tired from being on my feet all evening and having very little sleep after chaperoning my son's high school band performance at Weber State last night from 4:00 p.m. to 12:30 a.m.

 

P.M. 6 very easy.

7 at 8:20 pace random incline up to 4.0%, then 5 at 7:00 pace at -3% decline.  Goal was easier run today but a fair amount of mild uphill followed by downhill to simulate SGM.

 Foam roller prior to and after run.


Unrelated note, I just lost the accomodations where I was going to spend Friday before St. George as my second cousin broke his wrist and separated his shoulder.  Now, he is not going down to run SGM, instead he has to have surgery.
