Turn your rut into a groove.

am--5.75 Sunbrook loop to the water cooler w/ neighbor Greg. A little cooler this morning than it has been. 

pm--6.25 Old Swiss Days course w/ extension to and from mi casa. Threw in a 7-minute mile just for funsies. 

pm--8 A run up to the Canyons and down into Green Valley to the In-law's. Moderate pace. The body felt good. 

pm--11 A nice bout of LSD up through Santa Clara, into Ivins, and back home. I kept the pace where the body wanted it and just enjoyed a longer run, an aspect of running that I haven't had in my repertoire as much as I should. 

am--4 A peaceful morning run just to let the legs know that they are going to work a little harder this week. 

pm--7 Testing some new kicks. Headed out to the Anasazi Trail and just farted around for 7. It was a little saturated from the rain last night. 

am--4 Albertson's loop w/ Neighbor Greg. I was worried that the legs wouldn't be up to it. But they felt good. Kept the pace under 8. 

pm--8.25 Did an A/T run w/ the XC kids--2.5-3miles at 6:35-6:40 pace. It felt pretty good. It's definitely easier to run these w/ other people. After I took the new trail kicks out for a loop on the Chuckawalla/Turtle Wall loop. Kept running the whole time. 400-500 feet of elevation gain in 4 miles. Looking for a long run tomorrow. Maybe Barrel Roll 2x. 

am--12.25 Still testing the kicks, so I headed out to the Barrel Roll Trail and added a Sidewinder extension. Then I ate a bit of PBH at the car and washed it down w/ chia fresca. Finally headed out on the BR again but hit the Elusion trail to cut it in half. This is my 2nd run of the week over 90 minutes. Won't lie. My legs are tired.
