Easy run before work. 4.2 miles total, picked it up for .35 at the end

Jog before bed, 5K loop, didn't plan on running it hard but I felt good after mile one then still had some demons after mile two.

Went 7:00, 6:15, 6:00 (1.1) for a 19:15 5K. Was happy with the effort, the second mile felt fairly easy which is pretty cool cause a year ago it would have been a bit of a grind. Can't wait for the right shin to heal, I have some discomfort in my right foot too. Sorry for the whining. Cooled down for .5

3.6 total

4.2 miles before heading into work

Kind of discouraged that my shin isn't fully healed yet, looks like I'll be doing more cross training this week and some short easy runs. It's good to be back! I was going through blog withdrawals.

Jogged 9 miles on the wood chips at Liberty Park. 8:15 average pace, kept it nice and relaxed. 1.45 miles to the lap

Highlight of the run was when I exited the wood chip lane to pass a guy in cargo shorts and a golf shirt that was probably moving at about 10 minute pace, he looked like he was struggling. I re-entered the wood chip lane and he passed me on the outside and re-entered the wood chip lane and dropped it into gear at somewhere around 7:30 pace. He was able to stay in the lead for about a minute until he tired and I passed him again. Pretty funny.

AM-

Spent Friday evening in Midway. Got up early for a jog into Heber and returned the same way. Did 7:20 average pace going into town and 6:20 average coming back. Did a few pickups on the way back too. Shins are starting to feel a bit better, I'm not worried to run anymore but will probably keep mileage around 30-35 next week just to be safe.

8.3 total miles

PM-

Headed back out for an afternoon stroll. 3.5 miles at 7:15 pace then managed 5:14 for a mile and cooled down for .5.

Easy day.

Watched the SL Half and Marathon at Liberty Park. Fun seeing some familiar faces, especially when they're running well. I'm excited to run the half next year.

Played golf with my dad and my brother Daniel. Perfect weather, was fun to get some of the rust off of my clubs!

13.3 miles

Left from the Park and Ride lot on Wasatch Boulevard and about 6400 South, headed north to Milcreek Canyon. Ran 2.5 miles up the canyon and then headed back. Very beautiful morning, it was peaceful going up the canyon, I didn't see anyone for about 20 minutes. Soaked up the scenery that I far too often ignore.

Did a couple of surges on the way back. Was glad I got in a longer effort this morning

4 miles after dinner
