Early Sunday run with Craig on the JRP:

I met Craig at the JRP off of 106th for an early morning Sunday run. The temps were near perfect, but there was a breeze that we ran directly into for the first 5 miles. We had a great time just chatting and enjoying the views. I wanted to get 7-8 miles, but my knee was feeling really good, so we kept going for a few extra miles. We stopped for a quick break at the turnaround and then had a very solid run (7:30ish) pace all the way back to the car. My knee felt great the whole time and it wasn't stiff or sore at the finish and I was happy about that. I still plan on running flat miles for the rest of the week and then testing out my knee next weekend on some hills. It is very difficult to try and stay in shape for a 100 mile run (Bryce 100) while injured. On the one hand I need to make sure I am healed up in order to be able to complete the run, but if I rest too much I won't be in the kind of shape I'll need to be in to complete it either.

8 on the track. I wanted to run outside, but the wind was blowing too hard and I can't stand the wind lately, so I opted for the gym.

JRP with Craig and Brent:

We had a really fun run on the JRP from 106th going south into Draper and back. We pretty much chatted and laughed the whole way, the sun was out, the sky was blue and we were all in shorts and most of the shirts came off. Flex flex.

Highland/Alpine loop solo:

With another busy Saturday planned I decided to get out early before the madness and hit the streets for some more flat miles. My legs felt a bit sluggish, but when I turned onto the Alpine Hwy another runner Dude was right behind me and I think made it his mission to either hang with me or check out my butt from a very close distance. I could tell he was right behind me, so I picked up my pace and I was hoping to drop him, but I would have been ok if he would have just passed me, but he stayed right on my hip for about a mile. I finally got a good song in the ipod and a little frustrated hearing him grunt in my ear, so I picked it up even more and finally dropped him, but he lingered for the next coupla miles and it looked like he was following me even after I made a few turns, but maybe I was just being paranoid. Haha.
