I didn't get my run in until the evening today. I got a cold Saturday evening and still wasn't feeling real great, so I decided I had better run inside on the treadmill. I had ran 1.2 miles when the phone rang. It was my neighbor calling to tell me that our trampoline had blown over our fence, smashed the windsheild on his son's truck and landed upright in his backyard. I went over a check it out, kind of crazy. 

After visiting with my neighbor's, I got back and the treadmill and ran another 5.6 miles. I hope that nothing else of mine is in the neighbor's yard in the morning.

I ran up to the Bountiful Temple today. There was a strong head wind the whole way back.

I missed my last two runs this week because I was sick with a nasty cold. So to make up for it I ran 23 miles today...just kidding.

 I ran 8 miles and just took it easy. I was hoping to break 50 miles this week but I don't think that will happen.

I got in a good run today. 18.3 miles. That is the furthest I have run since the Mid-Mountain Marathon last September. 

I ran on the Legacy Parkway Trail today. I started at the Center Street trailhead and went South. The trail ends after one mile, so I turned around and headed North. I went to mile marker 9 then turn around and headed back to where I had started. I had about an 8:15 min/mile pace for the first 15 miles. The last three I had to really push not to slow down. My overall pace end up being 8:28 per mile.  Run Time 2:34
