8/31/16
If you've ever had one of those days where going hard just wasn't in the cards well you know how today was for me. I just took it real easy. Partly because it was hot, with wind from the south. still my Gradient Adjusted Pace was still pretty good basically a 8 min mile. Really nothing to exciting happened this time around.

Run 8/30/16

So today I cheated a bit. I wanted to up my placement on a strava segment so I run real easy till the segment. I PR'd on the segment which was all I really wanted to accomplish for the day. I think i'll repeat that type of thing on different segments at least once a week. I went pretty hard and felt pretty good about the result.

Run on 8/29/16

Todays run was a very early morning run. Go up at 5am and was out running by about 6. Planned on 8 miles and that is what I was able to do. Wasn't terribly speedy but I felt decent the whole time. From the hospital I ran up on Bartz road and ran my extra through the parking lots. I ran on the trail that runs behind the cemetery and turned to go up the hill on Barton RD. Basically just an out and back.

8/24/16 Run

Todays run took me from Portneuf Medical Center up buckskin road onto American RD then down on the ISU cross country course down to Barton Rd and then I cut on a trail that runs up to the parking lot for the Stephens Performing arts center. From there I ran back to the hospital.

The run was generally good. I wasn't trying to go hard. My legs are feeling very heavy today and I think I'm still not fully recovered from GT. Pace wasn't very good but considering the hills and how my legs felt... I'll take it.

Saw a snake on the ISU trail and there are lots of grass hoppers around. One other annoying thing is that all the trail are a bit overgrown due to the rain we had this spring and now everything is drying out. So the weeds are sharp and seem to be cutting up my legs.
