Dave and I went out and ran the Little Creek Section of the Zion 50 today. For the most part, I think we found the correct trail. We did the first 13 or so miles up to the tower and did most of it climbing. We pushed the uphill and it made both of us a little tired. We stopped at the top and enjoyed the scenery. Their is nothing like looking at Pine Valley and then turning to look at Zion National Park. Absolutely breathtaking. We were around 7:00/mile on the way up and then Dave said I went into Beast Mode. We clipped along for 6+ miles at 6:00/mile in the dirt and sand. We ended up catching the 7:00/mile guy for the run. 

Nice to get out and have a solid run with Dave. I am excited to train with him for the next couple months to see how we do at Zion and then Squaw.

Crazy tired this morning so I slept in and just ran with the team this afternoon. My legs were a little sore from yesterday still so I decided to just run an easy amount of mileage today. We went around Webb Hill. I ran with Darian and pushed her a little bit. Nothing to exciting. Kept it solid. Another 20 planned for tomorrow.

Club run this morning from Clyde's house with Dave and Clyde. Nice run. Saw a lot of people out this morning. They must be getting ready for the half marathon this weekend. Happy to run with those guys again.

Ran another 10 miles this afternoon. I ran the first 3 or so miles with the kids over towards Sunriver and then I extended it all the way through the beautiful town. I lost track of how many elderly people I saw who were walking their dog. Nice to see people out and about though. 6:49/mile.

Just ran this afternoon. I started with some of the girls over towards Little Valley Park and then I extended it out past George Washington Academy into the fields. I kept the first half easy and then did a little workout on the back. I did 10 x 1:00min. with 1:00min. recovery in between. All the fast stuff was in the 4:50-5:00/mile range. Nothing spectacular but it was nice to open up the lungs. Glad I am not running the half this weekend. I will be in Phoenix where it supposed to be pretty warm. 

Nice solid run today.

10 miles early this morning. I ran out along Snow Canyon Parkway. I couldn't believe how dark it was. Good to get this run in since I can't run this afternoon. We are driving to Phoenix tonight. No watch.

Arrived in Phoenix late last night and was pretty tired when I started my run this morning. My family lives downtown so I was nervous about where I was going to run. I ended up finding a trail along the canal and followed that out for about 5 miles. It was actually a nice paved trail and had a few dirt sections. The decoration of choice was shopping carts in the canal! I think I counted 20 or so. I did the run at 6:50/mile. Nothing fancy but good for being pretty tired this morning. About 50 degrees when I started. Short sleeves and shorts. Loved it. 

Now for the footie game tonight.
