Zoo loop BV. I felt good. I'm starting to feel my old rhythm. I ran easy but I felt as if I could pick it up at any moment without much effort.

Tempo with Sasha and Ted on Provo River Trail. 10 miles of tempo. We started off fast after a 3 mile warmup. The first three miles were bone shaking fast. I stopped at Vivian to go to the bathroom. We continued to Riverwoods. I lost some steam around 6.5. My left foot started to get a bit sore so I lacked some pushoff. Sasha kept up honest to the finish. My legs felt okay but a little tired from picking up the pace this week. We cooled down two miles back to the car. It was nice to run with someone during a long workout. Usually that is Bob but he is still nursing his hamstring. I'm starting to feel better about St. George.

Burch to Rattle with Bob, 8PM. It gets dark on the trail around 8:15 so we ran slower than expected. It was a break that both of us needed.

Burch to Rattle again. This time I ran it in the daylight. I'm a little tired which is not unusual when Amy is on service.

2 x sugarhouse loop, steady. I ran 11:50 and 11:48 for two loops of the park. I tried to run relaxed but quicker than an easy run.

Liberty park tempo. 5 mile warmup in flats, two loops of tempo around inner loop (stroller path). 7:44, 8:04 Too fast on the first 1/2 of the first loop. I felt okay and the flats felt good. I could have done more but this is my first day in flats. I will try to run in them once a week until St. George.

Washington Park + part of East Canyon. It was warm at the start and windy in the canyon. I didn't drink enough so I bonked at the footbridges. Bob nursed me to my house. He looks good.

Amy working, co-op classes, children that don't take their normal nap, etc. conspired to ruin my planned run. I failed to rally at 8 pm to run on the treadmill.
