Larry and I ran the water tank hills at a very easy pace this morning. My legs were a little tired from yesterday's hard run, but they loosened up good and felt great by the end of the run.

We stopped once to talk with a woman who had an Aussie shepherd like Larry's dog Ozzie. We stopped again later to talk with Cheryl Harper and another runner (Bruce I think?). It was a beautiful morning and a relaxing run.

I'll probably run 5 or 6 easy miles tomorrow. I'm at about 32 miles so far this week. That will put me at around 38. With the roughly 16 miles I'll be running in the relay on Friday and Saturday that should put at around 54 miles for the week. I'm hoping to make the relay miles fast miles (at least moderately fast I hope) so this should end up being a good training week for me.

Glad to hear your legs are feeling great with all that mileage. I thought about putting in a big week, but I was starting to feel some occasional sharp pains in my foot and decided to take this as a drop back week and taper. Everything's feelin' good so it was probably the right decision. I need to plan my summer schedule out once the relay's over. Let's get together for some Saturday long runs.

We run some variation of Provo Canyon nearly every Saturday. You have an open invitation to join us whenever you can. We're also open to new runs.

I need to firm up my summer running plans as well. I'm registered for the Provo River and Hobble Creek half marathons, but may slip in a few more races. I also need to get more focused on my training, especially inserting some meaningful speed work. I like playing by ear, but an overall plan with some goals might be good.
