Went out at 12:15 with Adam and ran to emigration and back. We ran slowly with a light drizzle, which turned into a downpour after I got back to the office. Clutch timing.

My SI joint has been stuck all week and I am going to PT again today. If they can't alleviate it, our relationship is in doubt.

At 9:45 on a cool morning, I ran to the West High track and around 12 times. Felt good this morning. Listened to my Elena Ferrante novel without headphones and it was nice. 45:30

From the office around the zoo down through yalecrest across guardsman around the football stadium (new turf is bright!) up through new parts of the U (to me at leat) across fort douglas and back. Nice and easy 58 minutes.

Trying out a new physical therapist tomorrow. I'm pretty sure my former guy was googling how to treat me.

At 1145 with temps in the low 60s, I did an emigration out and back from work. Felt warm with the sun. 745 pace with heart checks at 140 or so.

Fritz reminded me yesterday that I'd signed up for a 5k with a free promotion he'd given me. My SI joint and lower back were bugging and I expected some trouble like the terrible Sugar House 5k I had done. The race went surprisingly well. I got out feeling like I was running pretty easy, never pushing the pace. The first two miles were faster than expected. 6:06 with 72 up and 26 down and then 5:55 with 90 down. The third mile I continued not to push and got a 6:35 with 78 up and 50 down. After the third mile clicked off, I finally pushed the pace going uphill and ran 5:35 pace to the finish with 33 up. Short cool down and I left before awards. Not sure if I got anything but Fritz will let me know at some point.

I warmed up 1.2 before the race and cooled down 1.2 after. 

1.48 miles from Rice Eccles to 11th Ave and V Street.

At 12 with temps in the mid70s, I went to meet Adam but missed him and wandered around. We met up 60% of the way into the run and finished up together. 8:41 pace

Treadmill in the office at 11:30. I have an SI joint band around my waste that may help hold stuff together. I am to run up to six every other day but stop if there is any discomfort. Today felt pretty good. 

I am also working on retraining mechanics, which is hard.

Another treadmill session at work around 12:30. I ran 7:30 pace the whole time while focusing on form. Mental exhaustion.
