I run therefore, I am!

I ran 8 miles up city creek canyon and in the avenues for my mid day break.

Ran City Creek Canyon again. I have to concentrate on hill training for Boston. I will run it next year. I love this canyon right now, it is so freakin awesome. Steep but awesome.

I went to the Jordan River Park Trail at 70th south parking lot and ran North. I went 5 miles out and 5 back with the last 2 miles at tempo pace. When I was at mile 3.5 I was at the board walk and there was about 15 kids all dressed in black smoking pot and as I passed through them they started touching me trying to get me to give them a high 5.  I inhaled a lot of smoke. hahahahahah I had the worst case of munchies after too geesh! I averaged 6:34 for the 10 miles and my last 2 miles were 6:14 and 5:39. I have a festering blister on my left toe. Hopefully it will go away.

Ran up to Daybreak and met Danielle and ran with her around Daybreak for 6 miles. I  didnt  feel so good probably from running later last night and it being 2 close runs together. I had pain in my left toe from an annoying blister. Also behind my right knee from my hamstring.  Must stretch better. 

I went to the Highland 10k race put on by Fleet foot and did a 4 mile warmup with Bec, then I ran the 10k race as a bandit and it didnt look as though there was anyone there so I planned on just taking it slow and seeing if anyone would be fast. I did a 5:57, 5:56, 5:47 for the first 3 miles. There was a guy that was with me for the first 3 miles and there was a turn and he asked if anyone was behind us. I told him nope and then told him I was a bandit so he would get the official win! He got excited and then I told him I was going to try to push my pace faster. He said he didnt think he could do it but tried and he was doing a good job but i distanced myself by a half a minute. I got to mile 5 and felt like I was at the end of the marathon and faded a bit but such is life. I did a 5:30, 5:41, 5:55 for my last 3 miles and then sinnce I was running bandit I didnt know what to do with the last .2 miles so I slowed to almost a walk to let the guy behind me catch up and then just ran into the finish but didnt go through the shoot. It was a brisk morning. I then ran 3 more as a cool down and my legs are pretty tired.
