Finally got out for a run this morning after taking a break since Saturday's run. My right calf and achiles have been very sore and tight. Took it easy the whole run keeping the pace at 8:28 for the run. Still a bit sore but nothing bad. I guess the run Saturday was pretty much a test race with about the same effort as a race except for the first 1 1/2 miles which were warmup miles.

Started in downtown St. George and ran home by way of the Dixie Center then bike path. Right calf/ achiles still a bit sore and left foot still has a blister but not bad. Took it easy all the way and never pushed the pace- nice cool 49 degrees and headwind most of the way. 8:04 average pace

Noon run on the Bloomington trail out and back-8:47/ 8:20/ 8:07/ 7:37 average 8:15 pace

Calf is feeling good today- no pain at all, blister is about healed up and was the only thing bothering me on the run, it is in the fold of my big toe so it gets reopened all the time when I bend my foot-

Got out early this morning in the dark Left the house at 6am and 40 degrees. Ran out past Desert Hills High to River Road through the industrial Park to the Arizona Strip to SunRiver to home. When I got home it was 37 degrees. At spots on the run it had to have dropped to low 30's out in the open desert.

Ran very easy not wanting to pound anything hard, just wanted a good enjoyable run. I tried Vespa for the run. No breakfast, went on an empty stomach and the vespa drink to start. Took a 2nd surge energy gel at the 7 mile mark. My energy level stayed pretty good throughout the run. When I took the 2nd Surge I could feel it kick in and  carried me real good for 4 miles plus. For Snow Canyon I need to remember to take it around mile 9.

Slow run with all the climbing....8:48 average pace.

I hit the 2000 mile mark for the year!
