No run.  I feel better today than I felt on Thursday after last year.  My right calf was sore enough to make me limp a little this morning but it got worked out as the day went on.  I plan on taking most of the week off and easying back into some lighter training.  My goal is to stay in shape this winter and build on this year with a better season next year.

No runagain, but feeling better than yesterday.  I thought I would be twice as sore this year, but I am grateful for not looking like Gramps Logan!

I ran at least 4 miles today at our Region meet, between warming up the JV and Varsity.  The first steps after St. George are always brutal even when you think you feel good.  I even did some temo stuff running back and forth yelling my head off at my guys.  My JV guys were dominant taking 1,4,5,6, and 9 (5 in the top ten).  I started helping with the JV a couple of weeks ago because they were running so poorly, and today they destroyed every team that wasted them all season, it was fun to watch.  My varsity guys did great taking 2nd to Ogden.  We have had a lot of trials (including losing our 4th guy for being suspending for drinking last weekend).  A few of my guys finally arrived today, and of course my #1 guy (Chris) ran away from everyone to win.  He should be top 3 next week at state.  I was happy with the effort because we were only 11 points behind Ogden (26 to 37), and Ogden ran out of their heads today.  If it was State today Ogden would have won it for sure, but next week with Park City, Judge, and Cedar in the mix things will be interesting.  Results are at this website, I still have never learned how to Hyperlink stuff.  http://www.runnercard.com/runner/data/463/1200/result/Boys_Varsity_3_Mile.htm

I saw East High and Bill Cobler had copied the our shirt design that we stole from someone else.  Copy cats!  However, I might have to trade them one of my shirts for one of theirs because both are pretty cool.

Easy run with my varsity guys. We warmed for 2 miles easy, did a bit of tempo for .5 miles and headed to the track. I had my guys do a hard mile on the track, while I stop sat and called splits. It was so nice not having to do that mile myself! Afterwards we cooled down for a mile and did 4x150 meter barefoot strides on the grass. I did the strides and it actually felt good. My legs feel kind of dead and my left achilles was stiff, but it felt good to stretch the legs out.

Easy run this evening with my dad.  We went out toward the Mona res. and back after it had stopped raining.  I have some major tightness in my left achilles, but the rest of the body felt okay.  I need to go get adjusted and have a massage and I am sure I will feel better.  7:47 ave. per mile.  Fun run!
