6 miles easy over into Santa Clara.  Still a little warm in the morning.  Felt good though.

6 miles after school today over into the Industrial Park.  6:53/mile overall.  Nice and smooth for today.

Met up with Clyde this morning and did the Stone Cliff loop.  Really glad I took a long sleeve tech shirt.  It was 44 degrees when we started and I wished I had some gloves.  I eventually warmed up but it did feel good after a while.  7:16/mile overall.  Nice conversation once again.

I did weights at the high school after work today.  I haven't done them in a while but I think I am going to try them more often to see if it will help my running a little.  Didn't push it too hard today since I want to ease into it.  Nice way to finish the day.

I ran this afternoon after work.  The weather is so great right now.  This is the time to be living in St. George.  You cannot beat the running now.  I ran a new route over by the fields where I started at the high school and then meandered my way around the neighborhoods on the opposite side of Stone Cliff.  I found a good hill I will have the cross country kids run up someday.  Great run while averaging 6:58/mile.

6 cold miles this morning.  It was below 40 degrees this morning.  I had the light running jacket, beanie, and gloves on for the first time this winter season.  Yes, I have acclimated to this warm weather down here and complain when it gets below 50.  

6.05 miles this afternoon with one of the kids from the cross country team.  I ran with a kid on the team who just started running last year.  He was running 30+ minute 3 mile races last year and now is close to 19:30 for his 3 mile races.  He has caught the running bug and is doing great.  It was nice to talk with him about some things and keep him motivated to do track this season.  He will be a senior next year so it should be fun to see how much more he can improve.

Looped from the high school around Webb Hill on the trail and then back up along the golf course.  I felt a little frisky so I did a Tinman mile at the end.  Absolutely perfect running weather this afternoon.

I had the pleasure of welcoming Dave and Clyde out to my house in Ivins for a "little hilly" run out towards Gunlock.  We started at my house and then went out into Kayenta and just past the Gunlock turnoff.  It was good running out in my neck of the woods. 

It was a little random because we had a funeral procession pass us at about 7am in the morning.  It was totally random! 

We kept the pace nice and easy and then slowly picked it up on the way back.  I wanted to hit the last 5 miles at an honest pace.  The plan was to hit the first 2 miles at Tinman pace since it was all up hill and then see how I felt the last 3 miles.  I ended up hitting 5:25, 5:20, and 5:20 for the last 3.  I was happy with this run since it was my first 20 mile run in a while.  I did a little cool down to call it a day.  Another solid week.
