Speed only kills if you don't have it!

Day off.  Super busy day with School stuff and I figured the extra day of rest would only help me.

I went out later this morning about 11:00.  It was fairly chilly and I probably should have worn gloves.  I ran an easy run up to the single track and back via canal trail.  It was nice until the way home when I was running into a stiff head wind and getting snowed on.  I needed this run today and felt really good.  It was nice to go out, take it easy, and just enjoy being up the canyon by myself.

I have felt good ever since the half marathon on Saturday and never really got sore.  I felt great yesterday too, but today I was sore!  It was only in two spots, my left calf down towards the achilles, and my left sartoreus muscle ( inner thigh).  It is either super delayed onset of soreness or I did it playing soccer on Monday.  Anyways I was really sore, so I did an extra easy run, a slow River Heights 10k.  It took me a while to loosen up and then I didn't feel to bad.  I am not as sore now, but I can still feel it.

I ran a mile on the treadmill with a Polar HR monitor in Ex. Phys. lab this morning.  It was an exercirse intensity test.  I don't know how some of you run on treadmills, I think they suck!  I will never run on them again if I can help it. 

I went out again about 11:30 am and ran up onto the Providence bench.  I came down from Grandview on 1000 South (good little downhill section), into Millville, and home the usual way.  I felt better today and ran a decent pace, but there is still some definite fatigue and soreness in my body.  12.5 miles

Easy morning run.  I am still feeliing hammered so I took it easy.  I want to feel decent on my long run tomorrow.  I did the same loop out to Hyde Park taht I did last week, it seemed harder today and I was going slower.  There is a mile in the middle of the run, from 800 East on 3400 North up to the bench, that is a pretty tough mile and it killed me today.  I tried to hold my pace between 7:30-8:00 miles.  Hopefully I will feel better tomorrow and benefit from today's easy pace.

I had a great run this morning!  I met Jon, Cody, Dan, a new guy named Mark, and of course Paul at Paul's house.  We went upto Guinivah Malibu campground and back, via canal trail.  It was fairly chilly this morning and I stuck with a long-sleeve shirt and gloves for the whole run.  I enjoyed the run and had a good time talking and visiting with everyone.  The pace was perfect, nice and easy, just what I needed after a rough week.  We did pick the pace up in the last couple of miles and everyone ran the last mile home in sub 6:10.  It felt good to open it up a little at the end and I felt great.  I wish that I felt that good on every long run. 

I wished I would have gotten a couple of miles in after the run or later, but we headed out of town and I didn't have time. This has been my longest week in five years for mileage and I almost hit 60.  I will probably try for 65 this next week. 

Thanks guys, for a nice fun run!
