I had no plan when I stepped out the door but after a mile warm up I found myself running up 33rd South.  I ran to the top from 9th East then north over the freeway and back down through Sugar House.  My extra mile in Sugar House park paid off because I found $1 in the grass.  Maybe I will run extra miles more often. 

I felt surprisingly good.  Paved hills at 4500 ft. simply don't compare to 15% grades at 12,000 ft.  I guess I need to run faster.  Average 7 min/mile.

Didn't run too hard because I have my fantasy football draft tonight.

Tried out a new pair of lightweight trainers/running flats from Nike.  Surprisingly they provided plenty of cushion and the light weight felt great.

Somehow ended up at the Highland track so I decided to do some tempo running.  The new surface is great but the fumes might be an issue.  Beware.
