Same run as last time, but this time James and Conner joined me for 13, 7:01 ave.  I headed South on the JRPKWY unitl I alost hit the end, then came up to the new church and park on 1300 W, mostly because of a wrong turn.  I came back on 1300 W and back to the trail by the pool.  Last mile was 6:13 ave the total average was 6:55.  Felt decent, even tough the legs were tired and a bit sore from this week.

Ran with Chris and Logan Petty down Little Cottonwood and down to 11400 South and Jordan River Parkway.  We strted after 6:00pm and ran down the canyon into the sun.  Glad that they stayed with me the whole way.  It started to get dark when we hit 15 miles and we had to run sidewalk all the way down 12300 South.  It was super dark when we hit the trail, but the last mile the Friday the 13th full moon came up and we had good light to finish.  The weather was pretty good, the company was great, and the lgs are trashed.  No miles over 7:00, and 6:28 ave.  

Hit In N Out for a couple burgers and strawberry milk shake after the run.

Ran with Chris down the Huntsville marathon course.  We started and it was 40 degrees, ran up 1 mile and down to Huntsville park after that.  About 7-11 miles we got rained on bad and soaked, it was freezing!   My hands were so cold at 15 that I took my gloves off because it was warmer.  I felt like I was struggling at this point, cold and heavy legs.  I finished it out stronger, while Chris struggled the last 2 miles in.  We got done right at dark.  Quite a bit of trafic!  6:36 ave for the run.  Glad to get it done!

I warmed up to Butterfield park and then did tempo down 6400 and 13400 S to Monarch.  The legs were fine at first, 2nd mile the achilles started to get tight, the 3rd mile was rough and by the time I hit 3 miles at Monarch my achilles was locking up.  I tried to jog home, but basically limped for .5 miles and then wlak/limped home.  I am kind of scared this happened with St. George in one week!  the 3 miles of tempo were 5:51, 5:47, 5:51.  

I have to get myself mended in the next week!
