Liberty Park run with the hubby and pup. There are fresh wood chips on parts of the loop and it is way too spongy and soft now.

Too lazy to write a real report right now.  Tougher course than I anticipated, ran slower than I wanted to, but felt like I had a decent finish over the last couple miles.  Garmin splits/ elevation profile here.

Usual morning run with the pup.  I'm starting to see a lot of regulars on this loop now that I'm running it in the AM, but I still do a double take each time I see the guy on the ElliptiGo going down the street!

Nice 12 mile Emigration Canyon Run.  Started near the zoo, turned back near the start of the switchbacks.  It was very tempting to stop at Ruth's on the way back down!

Ran to gym.  Lifted weights. Ran home.  We used to do this a lot when we lived in Laramie. I forgot how hard running after squatting and deadlifting is!

SLCTC group run.  Even though the company was good, this was just an awful run for me.

Usual Liberty Park run with Nate.  I've been really struggling with motivation to run lately. Good thing I have a (training) race scheduled for every weekend in August.

SLCTC group run starting from the Capitol.  Ran through the Avenues then up/down City Creek. Ended at Memory Grove where there was a race finishing.  The announcer thought we were part of the race and cheered us in, but then seem confused when instead of crossing the finish line we pulled off to the stairs to head back up to our cars.  Overall, this was a nice run and I'm glad I dragged myself out of bed to get this done before the heat.

Met Kristine at Memory Grove for part of her long run.  I've been lazy on Sundays lately so I was thankful for the invite and motivation to get a run in early.

AM: Easy 3 mile run with the hound.  Running the Des News 10k tomorrow.  Since I've done no speed work, I really don't have a goal.  Just going to have fun, run, and see what happens. 

PM: Restore Yoga. So relaxing.

This was my first ever Des News 10k and it went much better than I expected. This is the first time since 2009 that I have been below 50 min for 10k.  

Splits according to Garmin: 7:32, 7:35, 7:57, 7:59, 7:57: 8:17, 1:44

I wish I could have kept the last mile under 8, but oh well. Even though it is seriously aided, I needed this mental boost to know that I can run 7:xx miles and it won't kill me. It also confirms that I am in better shape at this point leading up to Saint George than I was at the same point for Ogden.  Now I just need to get my butt in gear and start adding speed and tempos in each week.

Now onto something that has nothing to do with today's race.  I'm part of an ultra team (3 people) for the Rivalry Relay.  One of our runners has been battling an injury and does not want to run. Would anyone here be willing to run with us?  It would be 6 legs of varying distances (total ~20-24 miles depending on legs chosen) and we're not worried about speed at all.  You'd get to experience all the fun of a relay with none of the sleep deprivation.  Oh, and it won't cost you anything.  Let me know if anyone is up for this.

Easy run with Nate at City Creek.  I'm really starting to love this place in the summer. Plantar hurt tonight.  It usually doesn't bother me while I am running (only after), so I am a little worried. I have an all day mountain bike clinic tomorrow and Sunday in Park City, so I may rest my foot by not trying to fit a run in before the clinic.  

There's a free showing of Unbreakable: The Western States 100 next Friday at the Salt Lake Running Company.

Trek Dirt series mountain bike camp in Park City.  Learned a lot, had fun, fell in love with the Mid-Mountain trail, and am glad I was not seriously injured on the Insurgent trail that was way over my current ability level!

More mountain biking at the Dirt Series camp in Park City.  Worked on switchbacks, braking, descending, and drops in the morning and rode more Mid-Mountain in the afternoon. Took a few falls on some switchbacks and I'm a little bit bruised.

Nice evening run on Pipeline with Nate. My body aches and I have bruises all over my legs. The joys of mountain biking.

1.5 mile warmup over to the former Granite High.  8 x 200 with 200 slow jog recovery. Well, I assume it was 200m. The track was very odd, only 4 lanes and the lanes were super narrow, but the times seemed about right. 50, 49, 48, 51, 49, 53, 48, 48.   For a few of these, I had to swing out to lane 3 to go around a couple waking 2 abreast with a stroller. Cool down home.  Hoping to do a workout like this once a week and get a little faster.
