AM 8 easy with Nate up memory grove down 11th around fed heights and down s temple. Gorgeous morning. Legs feel good but my right hip hurt for about 6 miles so its a little angry at me.

PM 5 more easy in West Weber.

Wasatch out and back at lunch. Didn't bring shoes so I wore the back up to the back up because I took the back up home last week. Felt ok.

8-10@MP was the workout. I've struggled with these early in the morning on a flat loop I made in Rose Park so the plan was to go right after work and do a loop on the east side. I settled on a hilly loop with a net drop of about 250 ft. Went from work over to Wasatch and started on the downhill behind the zoo. Went along to BST through Tanner Park up 2700 E to 3160 S (Lambourne) down to 1700 E and across the freeway and back up on 1900 E. The tempo ended just after 1300 S and I cooled down to my office. The effort felt consistent and I felt good but not great. A bit banged up by the end. 60:51 for the tempo with miles of 5:54, 5:59, 6:06, 5:59, 6:15, 5:46, 5:52, 6:02, 6:19 and 6:29. Total of 500 ft up and 750 ft down. Grade adjusted per strava shows 6:15, 5:57, 5:51, 5:52, 5:48, 6:19, 6:19, 6:09, 6:01, 5:55. Strava 

Broke in the new Skechers and the verdict is still out. They are nice and comfy but they bothered the ball of my right foot big toe more than usual and I wonder if they are perhaps a bit unforgiving. We shall see.

Lunch run with Adam. Wasatch out and back. Didn't bring my watch. Beautiful day. A bit warm and I was thirsty at the end!

Felt beat up from yesterday's effort. Starting to wonder if I need to cross train this hip for a bit.

Lunch run with Nate and Adam along the BST and in the neighborhood above Hogle Zoo. Legs felt great today and I'm glad I gave them a rest yesterday. Shoes also felt very good. Beautiful day but windy.

Long run with James from HHS to BST to Wasatch to Murray Holladay Blvd and back. Very windy going south. My last 20 miler was four weeks ago but I felt good throughout. Ran for about as long as I would like to run Boston time-wise.
