I'm back in the saddle again!

4 up 9800 S. to 2700 and back. Legs were tight on the way out but felt awesome on the way back. Pace for up hill on the way out 9:15. Pace for down on the way back 8:30. All in all a great run and a great Monday:)

One of "THOSE" days! Charged my ipod last night...didn't charge, charged my Garmin...didn't charged, went to bed early and ate great yesterday and I didn't charge! No umph today at all. Don't know what my pace was, but I'm guessing around 9:30.

Ran to the trail and south to 4 miles and back. I felt fantastic and did a bit of a progressive tempo...it wasn't super fast but all 8 miles were under 9. AP 8:40. Last mile was the fastest at 8:25 and it is all uphill.

Same as yesterday, only turned around 3 out. I felt really good at first and pace felt easy, but started feeling a lot harder at the end. AP 8:30

Went down to JRP in Bluffdale. My goal was to keep it really comfortable and recover so I can have some energy for 12 tomorrow. My first 2 were faster than I would have like (8:50ish) even though that felt comfortable and effortless. I turned around and it wasn't hard to slow down because the wind was blowing soooo hard. My AP ended up being 9:00 and the miles in the wind were tough.

Didn't get much sleep last night, but still got up at 5:30 to meet Eric, Aaron and company for a nice run. We drove out to Copperton and ended near the District. Mostly a downhill run with a few rollers here and there. I really liked this and think it will be a good downhill training run.

I started way too fast (8:00) and held between 8:00-8:30 for the first 8 miles. At that point Aaron sped up and I ran with a guy I didn't know. He was planning on 15, but the pace was a little fast for him the whole time so he called it quits at 13 with me. We slowed a bit, but still kept it under 9. AP 8:30.

I felt really good all day and I'm not sore. Was worried I had pushed a little too hard, but I guess not. So, I like running with people a little bit, but I tell ya, I really enjoy doing my own pace...I think I listen to my body a little more and am smarter when I'm not trying to run someone else's pace.
