HHS Millcreek loop with Fritz and Adam. Great weather. Felt really good. I have the same quad tinge I had after Canyonlands on the right leg covering the vastus medialis.

First run in the new Hyper Speeds and I think I will love them.

8-9 mile marathon pace progression (start slower than/finish faster than). I decided to take it easier on myself and I drove down near liberty park at lunch to do the tempo around the park. 1 mile warm up then 6:07, 6:02, 5:57, 5:51, 5:46, 5:42, 5:42, 5:35. This went better than expected and my legs felt light throughout - I think it's the shoes. It was in the 70s the whole time and I was getting pretty dehydrated by the end of it. 1.2 down. Tapering is awesome.

Well organzized local 5k that Fritz introduced me to. In Canyon Rim so it has about 190 ft of hills but starting an ending in the same spot. Splits we'e 5:36, 5:29, 5:36 and 36 to finish (.14 on the watch at 4:36 pace). Felt good though the hills take it out of you so the last mile isn't as fast as it should be.  Did another 18:00 5k on the way back to HHS. Feeling really good.

Won an entry into the Law Day 5k in the raffle and a year supply of frozen burritos.
