My legs really would not cooperate this morning. I went to meet Danielle halfway and I was walk running the first mile. She wasnt there so I kept running to her house and the lights were off so I figured she slept in. I did my first 2 miles in 20 minutes! My last 3 miles were in 7:30 pace though. I need ice.

I did another 10 miles on my bike and my right knee was thanking me for it.  I did 20 minutes in ice and wow what a difference that makes. I wanted to run another 5 or so but my body is telling me no.

Met near my house at a church with the BBK runners.  I did a 3 mile warmup and then they planned a 6 mile tempo run but I didnt have time so I cut it to 3 miles. I guess I did more of a progressive run than tempo. I did a 6:01, 5:51, 5:34. Legs are still tight as can be. I feel better though from yesterday.  Got to see Becca for the first time in a while. Nice to see her out doing the BBKing! lol I talked with Dean and found out his son is in my ward now. He bought the house that I owned the lot on from back in 2004. I also talked a bit with Rachel who is ramping up the miles this week! Good run!

I ran 6 miles on my lunch break around Liberty park. 4 loops on the wood chips and then an extra .25 to hit 6. Very hot! 

I biked to the trax line and then from the trax line to my house. 10 miles total.

Met Danielle halfway and turned and went up to Daybreak and around and then up towards Herriman and back down to the lake and then I took her up to show her where the new Trax line comes out and then we came back down to my house. Started at 5 and it was dark till about 6:30.  Good run, Good friends and fun! lol

Went with Misty to my favorite course for a long run to mimick the St. George marathon course. It starts at the Capitol and you run the horseshoe to 11th ave then East to Shriners Hospital and then back to City Creek canyon and up to the top then back down to the Capitol. I ran alone and by the time I hit the canyon the sun was up so I made my way up it and there wasnt anyone up there which was odd because there are usually tons of runners and bikers up it on Saturday early.  Going up was 2000' incline and I was averaging about an 8:15 pace. Coming down I hit my last 7 miles in: 6:15, 5:40, 5:52, 5:55, 5:44, 5:43, and 5:23. It was colder up the canyon which I love so I didnt feel any fade like I do with the heat.
