Met up at 7 with Rob, Andrea and Jake at the Jeremy Ranch trail.  It was very relaxed/conversational pace but my legs still felt heavy after yesterday's run.  Without them I would have never had the motivation to run that far today. This was my first run up there this year and the temperature couldn't have been better.  Even better we didn't get charged by any cows.  It was the perfect morning up until the point when I knocked my car key in a compartment between the hood and tire.  Andrea and Jake were obviously prepared with some tools and a light so we were finally able to get the key after 10 minutes of prying.  Next time I will have to rely on the pocket in the shorts or get less tricky with my hiding spot.

A little cross training and PT at the gym afterwards.  After the 3:30 wake up call/10:30 bedtime yesterday with no nap and the early start today a nap is definitely in store for the afternoon.

Sluggish from the weekend so I used a machine for motivation.

Somewhat leisurely jog through Millcreek and Holladay.  I saw Andrea as I was going up 39th but I don't think she wanted company because she was wearing headphones. ;) 

Lately it has been taking about 10 miles to start feeling good during my runs.  I think I need to double down on my iron supplements.

AM: cross training at the gym

I am boycotting free Slurpee day because people just use it as an excuse to miss an hour of work.  Plus I am still upset that they discontinued the bubblegum flavor when I was 12.

PM: 7 miles around Cottonwood Heights. Heat wasn't too bad.

1.5 home

I get just as tired regardless of how fast I run so to save time I suppose I should run faster more often.

For some reason it was an above average/enjoyable day on the stairmaster.  Scott and I are running up and down Provo Canyon tomorrow morning in case anyone is interested.

Great run up Provo Canyon with Scott, Brandon and Dan. The weather couldn't have been better and the water stations were a bonus. I was the guy from Salt Lake City yet I was the only one wearing my shirt.  Go figure.

We averaged around 7:15 going up then Scott and I ran the first 5 miles down averaging around 5:10-5:15 with 1 mile close to 5.  Scott still has his 20 year reunion to get to tonight so he took it easy on me.
