First run back in UTAH!!! Ran on the path on Redwood where I would do my am runs. 6:46 avg pace. Elevation wasn't bad. 

4.5 out on the Jordan River path. Had my dad bike next to me and we had good conversation. 6:23 avg pace. 

Didn't have my watch. I had 30 minutes and used the timer on my phone. Started at Skyridge and climbed the dirt trail on the other side of Timp Highway (where we did our super legendary run the last xc practice I went to before the mish) I had a doc apptment earlier so I had to run later and it was hot. Hadn't run much hills so after a bit of that I decided to turn around and do something different. Ran down to pretty much Brady's house and then back to Skyridge. Estimated miles is 4.25. 

First trail run back in Utah! Met the LP gang at Lambert. It was Galen, Jamison, Cole Gray, and an older guy whose name I didn't catch. The first couple miles up the mtn were tough, after not having hills to run up in FR. It was a good time nonetheless. 40 minutes, 5.5 miles. 

Went and ice bathed after. 

7.50 at 7:05. Run with my main man Garek B. Started at Sugar House Park and ran one of the classic Bill Cobler summer street runs. 

6 at 6:41. Ran with my main slim Christian. We started at Riverton High School and ran down to Red Wood. Out and back. 

7.75 at 6:38. Started at Discount Tire and ran to Lehi on main, turned and went over to Wynes. Checked to see if the spring was on, it was. Sami's mom was in the park and so I got to catch up with her for a while. Went up airport, down to Costco, and back to Discount. 

Ice bath in the spring. 

9 at 6:41 on the Jordan River trail with my dad on the bike.

Met up with past teammate, fellow Lehi alum, Ryan Raff. We started at Lehi and had a very chill run down to Willowcreek, over one street to the north, and then back. 40 minutes and got in 6 miles. 

So my Hoka Clifton’s were packed away safely during my mission and they don’t have an insane amount of mileage so I wanted to get them out, see how they feel and all that. Very first part of the run I was a little scared, they felt interesting, but after the first part they started to feel really good, really soft. Excited to run more in them.  

Herriman Trails 50 minutes / 7.3 and then 6x100 strides. 

Went with Steady Parker up to the ol Herriman cross country course and met Christian and Jamison. From the start Christian and Parker went out hard, but I was taking it easy. Ran all around the old course and other trails out there. It was really fun. If you wanted to run hills, there are some pretty large ones out there. Did my 50 minutes and got just over 7.25. Then went to a flat street and did 6 strides.
