I'm finally back on the blog. I went through some injury issues and other things, but I'm back running and recording my runs. 

 Today I did a four mile run. I decided I would start off easy and pick up the pace every mile. My splits ended up at: 8:26, 7:09, 6:56, and 5:58, for a 7:09 total average. It felt pretty good, not super hard, but not easy at all.

I did another short run today. This run was hard though. I ran directly after a hour of plyo, so my legs were super tired. I averaged a 7:40 pace for the run. My last mile was the fastest, with a 7:09. My legs were tired, but no injury problems.

This run felt all right. My legs were pretty sore from yesterday's plyo, but they warmed up and were feeling better. I ran up Millcreek Canyon for two miles, then turned around and went back. My splits were 8:30, 7:43, 6:48, and 5:38. This run felt pretty good after I got warmed up, but it took a lot out of me. I really started pushing the last half mile, I wanted to be under 6:00 for that mile, and I did it easily. I'm tired, but no injuries to speak of.
