Nice 7-miler in the early morning. Then to the gym before lunch for 30 min XT + core.

Morning 8 miler. Did some faster stuff but nothing structured (can you say 'fartlek'?!). Did a few strides, fast on the downhills, power up the hills, and had a few miles in the middle that ended up with pace in the MP range.

Easy 7 miler in the morning. I wasn't loving the warmer more humid conditions. Later went to the gym for 30 min XT + core.

First run of the summer down Payson canyon. We had a pretty good sized group and I enjoyed the run it's been a long time since we've done this. Ran mostly with Alan and Roman. Tried to take it pretty easy, this can be a risky run if you're not careful.

Six very easy miles in the morning. Quads a bit sore from the canyon downhill run yesterday. Later to the gym for 25 min XT.

Had a good size group of runners turn out this morning, always helps to make the long runs go better. My legs especially quads are still beat up from the Payson canyon run so I kept the pace nice & easy. Even so the last couple of miles were kind of a death march. Very glad to be done. Now our family gets to go clean the church.
