My usual morning loop of SH. It was already pretty warm at 5:30am. I'm paying for my random running of Black Mountain Saturday but it was well worth it. Avg. 8:52 |

My home loop plus ~2 loops of Sugarhouse. During the middle mile, I ran into Chad and the BS. Ran a little with them just catching up with Chad, it had been about a month since I had seen him. I could tell I was tired. When I told Chad which grant I was applying for I actually got the name backwards. My legs were feeling better but still only about 5-hrs of sleep and I was not ready to do a workout with them. Now a confession. Chad mentioned something about the “craigs” spelling? at the top of Little Black Mountain. Since I didn’t know what he was talking about I had a look on the internet to see what the summit elevation should be. Two different sites I found have it at 8040ft, putting my 7812 a bit shy. The strange thing is that one site has some photos of the final summit that looks familiar but who knows? The moral of the story is that I will just have to run the Steeplechase next year so that I know for sure that I made it to the “top”. In any case, the ~3000ft climb I did on Saturday was still exhilarating and has given me a taste for more. Who knows maybe I will run the Wasatch 100 before I leave SLC??? |

Slept in an extra hour. Then did 3 outer, 1 inner loops of SH from home. Had to make it home in time for the neighborhood breakfast with the family. After a loop in the kiddy parade we just crashed and relaxed. Kaitlyn is still a little to young to stay up for the fireworks so early day. |

Still just building base. It is amazing, I ran an hour earlier and it was about 10 degrees warmer. Stay hydrated today!!! The other crazy thing was the wind this morning. I hope none of you blew away. |

AM, BST South, Out and Back. I ran this as an easy run. Started out at 8:51, 8:18, 8:27. Then I settled into a ~7:20 pace after going over I80. I kept this pace until mile 15 when I let loose a little. I didn't go crazy but I didn't hold back either. The last two miles to my house are aided with a 2-4% grade and I hit 6:34 and 6:18. After stretching for ~20 min and icing for 15 min my legs felt great. This is my longest run since Dec and I haven't had injury site pain for over two weeks now. Overall happy with the mileage and pace, overall avg. 7:31. |
