5 miles pushing a stroller. It was a little warm for me but felt nice to be out.

6 miles in the rain this morning.

Felt great to stay cool during the entire run. Ran with Andy (neighbor who just returned from his mission). Brazil was not kind to his lungs. This elevation is making his return a bit rough.

7 slow miles.

Never felt much energy today. Didn't really get into this run, but glad to have knocked out 7 miles.

6 solo miles.

Tried a route I don't think I have ever run. Was challenging for sure. North on Wasatch to Big Cottonwood Canyon then West on Fort Union Blvd. Left at Butler Elementary and over to Bengal Blvd. Then up Bengal. Had to run a small loop in the neighborhood to get to 6.

Will likely become a regular route now.

10 miles.

Ran over to the La Caille turn on Wasatch and ran the hill up LCC 3 times. Then back to the neighborhood to drop off my neighbor. I continued for 2 more miles. Felt good the entire run and that hill that used to put fear in me is now just a bump in the road on my runs.

6.26 solo.

Neither of my neighbors could slay the sleep monster today. Ran solo down around the retention pond below BCC and back to my house. May run a long run out of BCC to help a friend training for the marathon in a month. Not sure my legs can handle 20 but we will see.

Ran the Big Cottonwood course with a friend and his neighbor. Didn't push this run at all and felt good throughout. My shoes are 1/2 size too small so my toes felt a bit crammed with all the downhill. The out and back section along Wasatch is much shorter this year and shouldn't be too much of an issue for a lot of runners. It's no wonder this race is taking precedence over STG this year. Saw lots of police cars, fire engines, and emt crews flying up the canyon. Figured someone had fallen on a hike early this morning. When I got back to my car at Guardsman, they were there working on a guy who had rolled his truck off the road up top.

Slowly through the neighborhood and out and back along Wasatch Blvd. Legs have been sore since Friday's long run. Possibly overdid it, but this 6 really helped get some of the soreness out.

Ran to the hill by La Caille and decided to try and move up the leaderboard of that Garmin Segment. Did the hill at a 7:07 pace  which was good enough for 7th place. There are a few people that obviously didn't actually run it so if you take them out I would be 3rd or 4th.

6 miles

dropped my car of for some maintenance and ran home. Lots of uphill running. Almost got hit by a car in Big Cottonwood Canyon because the driver was texting or doing something on his phone. Didn't have much of a shoulder on the road and he was veering toward me and noticed at the last second and swerved.

Around the neighborhood and then out Wasatch and up the hill into LCC then back home. Legs are a bit tired from the backpacking hike over the weekend.
