I went out for a recovery run on the Bonneville Shoreline Trail. Everything seemed to be functioning properly. My quads are still a bit tender, but running wasn't difficult. The wind was wicked this morning. It was a crosswind for most of the run. Had it been a head wind, I would've been standing still, or perhaps going backwards.

Evening run on the Legacy Parkway Trail. I wasn't planning on running fast tonight, but there was a guy who started just behind me, and my competitive nature took over. I decided not to let him pass me. He stayed about the same distance behind for 3 miles. On the last mile he dropped back a bit. I shouldn't have run that fast, but I enjoyed it.

I ran the Kenney Creek Trail this morning. It's just as rough and overgrown as it always is.

In Mammoth Creek in southern Utah for a family reunion. Ran 8.5 miles on some jeep trails through the woods. I feel fully recovered from the marathon last weekend. Time to start some serious training.
