Early AM: Went out in the dark with Kimi for 6 miles. Not used to the early morning schedule so much anymore, I woke a little brain dead and grumpy and I don't think I was very good company. Sorry Kim!  Got hit by a few drops of rain along the way but temps were actually pretty nice in the 50's but a bit muggy.

9:06/139 

Late AM: 4 more miles at work.  Sun was out now and a pretty nice day although a little windy. At mile 3 I noticed I was right on the 8-min dude's tail so I sped up just enough to catch him before getting to 4.

Went out in the late AM on another spectacular fall Utah day. Nothing too fancy just a nice easy relaxing run.

Ran 8 miles just before lunch. I wanted to do something to get my HR up near it's max just so my body doesn't get too used to all the easy runs. But I didn't want to pound my legs so I figured some uphill repeats would do the trick. Ended up doing 6 repeats, jogging back down the hill in between. Felt pretty good.

Nice recovery run in the early morning with Kimi during the first part of her long run. Legs feeling pretty good, I enjoyed the run and relaxed pace.

Down in St George for a quick trip to attend condo HOA annual meeting. Got up bright and early to get the long run out of the way.  Temps in the 50's which to me is about perfect running weather, it was great to wear a short sleeve shirt in late October. Saw a few runners who didn't see to agree with me that 50's is short sleeve weather, looked like they were dressed for winter.

Felt really good today, running was easy and it seemed like the run was over barely after I started. I think today's and yesterday's runs were some of the most enjoyable I've had for a while.  Looks like maybe the SGM recovery may be complete!
