Speedwork at East High Track.  A couple sore spots in the legs from ultimate frisbee on Sat., but overall felt pretty good.  I feel like the speed work is starting to pay dividends.

Oh yes, and it's a girl.

Casto to S-Curve Loop.  Beautiful full yellow moon this morning.  Kept a quick pace throughout and accelerated the last few (downhill) miles.

Radda run in the rain.   Ran with the group until the 8 mile turn, then Amy and I went on for 8.  No spicy miles in Chad's absence.  I know there is lots of research that exercise promotes mental development, but I've done some really stupid things right after a run, like leaving my pregnant wife's scone at the restaurant.  Kim and Andy stepped up, however, and delivered the scone to my house.  Thanks!

I typically don't like the 5k but I enjoyed this race.  Took John Straley's pre-race advice and didn't push too hard on the first uphill mile.  When I turned the corner on the flat, I felt fresh and ready to race.  Pushed it hard all the way to the finish.

Casto loop. 

Slept in to 5:30 this morning to catch up on sleep.  I meant to take it easy, but a man in a yellow hat tried to pass me on Wander.  Unless I'm with the Radda group, I don't get passed on Wander- so I had to pick it up.  Then I started thinking about opposing counsel in a case.  That really got my blood flowing and sped up the kick.  As Morissey said, "there are some bad people in this world."  The bad people are worse when they're stupid.

I had a hearing in Cedar City at 9:00 a.m. so I left my house at 5.  After the hearing, I drove to Zions (Lee Pass trailhead).  Ran to Kolob Arch trail junction.  I started the run about 11 or so, so it was warm.  Took two bottles and promised myself I wouldn't start on the second until the turn-around.  It was a beautiful day and a great run.  It was great to run on a new trail.  I've backpacked on this trail several times, as a boy scout and in high school, but it is so much better to run it.  The La Verkin trail is great for trail running, it follows and crosses the creek several times so there is lots of up and down, nice soft sandy trail.  At the turn around I cooled off by swimming in a small pool surrounded by immense navajo sandstone.

Cucina run with an extension at the end of the Dry Creek.  The start of this run was tough, it was warm and I didn't get much sleep last night.  At the junction, John Wood, benefitting from a heavy dose of garlic, took off.  Chad and I tried to reel him in but it was no use.  Ran a 6:30 mile on the trail, which is pretty good for a trail mile.  Flowers were great this morning, sunflower, (Balsamorhiza saggitata), see http://www.users.qwest.net/~cirnielsen/bstm07.html, and Flox.  Ran through Fort Douglas, President's Circle, South Temple, back to Cucina.  From wildflowers to tanks to chanting monks on South Temple.  Nice variation for the final miles of a long run.

Casto loop.  Nice cool morning.  I felt recovered from the weekend, and the 50 miles I ran last week.

Radda run with a proposed variation, and two takers:  Aimee Larkin and Mark Holland.  Instead of heading east on Casto, continue south and head west on Haven Lane to dead end and secret passage....  About halfway through the run, Aimee realized she was going to be late, so she picked up the pace.  We ended up running several miles at 6:30 pace trying to keep up with her.  Nice wildlife this morning- ducks and a horse.

I felt swift and strong today- I attribute it to last night's olive oil, pasta, red wine, and good sleep.

Birch Hollow to Bare *** pass.  3 miles up, three miles down, two flat miles in the middle.  Didn't feel too great today, I didn't sleep well last night.  Started the run at 6 so it was nice and cool, still very green.

Radda run with Amy and Chad.  Ran through Haven lane/canal route.  Felt good even though I didn't bring a water bottle (drank from a sprinkler on Holladay Blvd).  9.5 miles used to feel long, but now it's no big deal.  I'm thinking about 15/16 for the weekend.

3 quick miles in Holladay.   Ideal morning for a run.  Going long tomorrow.

Run from Radda to Cotton Bottom and back with Aimee, Casey, and Derek.  The air felt humid this morning.  I was back home by 8.  What a great way to start the day.
