Run fast

Ran from the gym to Highland High to meet up with Allie, James and Jake . We ran out to Cottonwood, up to Wasatch and back.  Averaged about 7 min pace for the entire run but a little quicker towards the end.  Mentally and physically these runs feel equivalent to 13 solo miles because the time flies by.  We talked about the Spring race schedule and now there are too many options to consider....but decisions will have to come soon.

Rob added .01 to beat me so I am adding the .08 which I forgot to post earlier.  I had my Garmin in case I need proof.

One mile warm up on stairmaster then 8 miles on the treadmill. A bit tired from the weekend's run but felt better than expected.

Ran around Sugar House. I don't recommend running by Highland High at exactly 7:45.  Every kid and their mom, literally, is trying to get and out of the parking lot. I was almost hit twice, I almost ran over one of those kids whose wears black and I observed that many students think it is summer and are wearing shorts and tshirts.

boring day at the gym

Ran out to my office and back home.  Then drove to the office.   Just wanted to make sure there was no new road construction.  I was also safer running home because I found a bike light.  If anyone lost one let me know.

11 miles around Millcreek and Holladay.  A bit windier than I would have liked.

Great run with a huge crew in Riverton.  Somehow they inspired me enough to get out there and started by 7:30.  Outside of race weeks that is a rare event for me for a Saturday.  I am looking forward to doing more in the future.

We ran the Riverton Half course, regrouped in the parking lot, then went out for another 8.  Matt pushed the pace at the end of the Half so we ended up averaging around 6:30 with the last mile at about 5:25.  Then to finish off the run Jake coerced me to run an extra mile at about 5:12.

Going into the run I was quite worried about how my hip would hold up considering that it has started to feel achy again.  Fortunately I think it held up ok and hopefully the 30 mins of PT afterwards at the gym will help.  

I have to say the scenery and river trail in Riverton, amongst the many mansions, are very nice.  And if you like franchise restaurants I think they are all represented within a square mile.
