pm--8.5 I ran the usual morning route w/ an extension. There was an easy fartlek in the middle--1:30-2:00 then :30-:40 seconds. It's been harder to get out the door, but the payoff is fantastic.

pm--8.5 A run @ varying paces while watching the Jazz beat the Heat. I sincerely hope that LeBron didn't bruise his thorax w/ all the false victory chest bumps.

am--13 A nice little run in the Hurty Dirty Half. There was a decent turn out and a good vibe. The folks who put that on do a good job of spreading the joy of running.

am--7.75 A nice little run w/ 12x sprint-&-float 100s @ the SC track. By the end of the 100s, it had turned into a struggle and shuffle, but it felt like a bit of a workout.

pm--7.25  A nice little run w/ an 800 time trial--3:05. The plan called for a 3:07. This week has been a bit of a dud for me. I started behind the 8 ball w/ daylight savings and then have felt fuzzy since then.

am--16 On the 16th. Went out for the Zion 100 group run on Gooseberry. It was a perfect day for a run. I may have almost salvaged the week.

am--14 Accompanied Baggs on the Spectrum 10k. I warmed up for a little over a mile up the canyon, ran the race in an even hour, and then ran home via the parkway. 30 miles in 2 days, in 2 runs, make the legs a tiny bit fatigued.

pm--11 I'm trying to get out of a funk, so I hit the Barrel Roll w/ Sidewinder, tying into it from the single track down by the corrals. The run started w/ a good climb. Finally settled into some kind of a groove 4 or 5 miles in and ended up actually enjoying the run.
