El Burro Blanco

I went and ran the Barrel Roll trail this evening.  I love hitting that trail.  It is a lot of fun.

12 miles over into Santa Clara and back.  I kept the pace brisk for some reason and averaged 6:38/mile.  Kind of shocking for right now.

8 easy miles around Ivins.

I couldn't sleep so I went running at midnight.  The temps were nice but it was nice to get out and have the body moving.  I am done with soccer so I will be able to be more consistent.  We will see how things go.  I ran 12 miles around Ivins and then over into Santa Clara.  Lots of fun running really late.  Not a ton of traffic to deal with.

I did the same run as yesterday.  It felt nice running in a new pair of shoes.  Need to stay consistent and get out of this little running funk I am in.  The temps were really nice today.  

Too much going on with graduation and finishing up a bunch of paperwork for the last day of school.  I did spend more time with Norah and Katey which was a plus.

Slept in this morning for the first day of summer and decided to go and hit the Barrel Roll trail over by Jacob Hamblin.  Absolutely beautiful day and I couldn't ask for better running conditions.  It was nice.

I think I might be converted to trail running.  Club run tonight which hasn't happened in a long while.  Hopefully everyone welcomes me back.

6 miles during the club run.  It was hot!  Nice to be around everyone again.

Went and ran/trudged along the first part of the marathon course with Clyde and Dave.  I knew I needed to get this run in but it made me realize I am out of shape.  I warmed up with them and then basically watched them run away into the wild blue yonder.  I kept everything sub-6:30 until Veyo and then my legs started to tighten up.  I made it to mile 11 and decided to let the meat wagon pick me up.  I will pay for this later.  

I am up north visiting family and my allergies were really bad last night and I didn't sleep very well.  I woke up and decided to try and loosen up the old nasal passages.  It didn't work.  I could barely breath and decided to cut it short and survive.  I made it to 60 miles for the week so it is a start.  Need to stay consistent.

Woke up in Logan this morning looking at snow on the ground.  It was raining a little bit while I was out today.  The sun came out for just a little while but it was cold conditions (39 degrees).  Nice and relaxed run from my in-laws out towards Smithfield and back.  Nice start to the week.

Better weather today in Logan.  I ran from the in-laws up into Logan Canyon.  I ran along the River Trail and then went all the way up to Spring Hollow Campground.  I forgot that the headwind can be quite nasty through the canyon.  It was really beautiful in the canyon.  This time of year it is difficult to find any place more beautiful.  It was a little muddy in spots but a really nice trail run.  Slowly starting to feel a little stronger each day.
