I can do it. I will do it NINE times!

Slept in a little later than I should've so the run was a bit hot. Went out on the Bloomington loop with an extension right at the end to add an extra half mile. Went pretty well, just relaxed and easy. Finally feeling somewhat in shape... I think starting up the iron supplement and multivitamin are helping too. In any case, I'm glad to be feeling good! (GT 34.2)

Up early this morning for the run. Backwards VT loop, stopped at the Summit to do the weight circuit 4.65 miles into it, then went straight back on the road for the last 2 miles. Had a couple extensions to get it on, but turned out perfect. Still feeling good. 7:59/mi average. (GT 40.8)

Mapped out a new loop last night and did it this morning. Went out from my place to River Road, addend an extension into the Boulders and ran up to 700S, then went west on that until Main, turned south and crossed over onto the trail that parallels Hilton drive and then ran back home by way of the trails. Turned out pretty well, it's good since it has lots of ways I can extend it for more mileage later this summer! Legs  are feeling pretty sore from lifting, just took it really easy on the run. (GT 48.9)

Ran out toward the AZ strip this morning, again took it easy for the most part. In the middle I did 8x20 second pushes with 1:00 recovery. Felt tired, but it went alright. There's a new road that's fenced out past the industrial area, it makes it so that you have to go all the way to Arizona to go out four-wheeling or biking and such. And it gives me less dirt roads to go run on out there. Frustrating. So, instead of taking the new road, I off-roaded a bit to get to the old one. Much better. Anyway, the run was adequate. Then Jonny and I went to Summit and did the weight circuit. (GT 57.5)

Easy run, went out on the LV loop with the Vermillion extension. No watch, just cruised. Went a bit faster than usual, felt good. Arms sore from weights; legs are a little, but not bad. (GT 64.1)

Another way too early, way too fast, way too fun Saturday run! Met up with an enormous group of the running club and got dropped off up on the marathon course. Got going with Nate, Ben and Hayden, who took off with the sole intent to kill me within 5 miles. And I think it worked. First miles were sub-7 and tired me out with all that downhill pounding. Hayden took off like we were just out for a morning stroll a little after we took the turn down Snow Canyon. The scenery was absolutely beautiful, there was even a rainbow. But the run killed me off, definitely. Average of 7:15/mi. Ran into Marcie at the ball fields when we both happened to be taking a pit stop - it was so great to see her! When I took the pit stop, Nate and Ben kept going, so I had to survive the last couple miles alone. And now my legs are pretty thoroughly trashed.  Still, it was fun to have good company again on the long run. (GT 77.3)
