I started having some quad strain after the run which turned into a race monday.  So took Tuesday off to rehab it alittle.  Went out in the AM for an easy 8 at a 7:46 avg pace.  Then went out for a trail run in the PM for another 7 over trail 51.  Followed Wes to keep my pace in check, then took a nice spill down trail 51 coming into dry canyon on the permafrost under the trail.  Ice is not my friend.  Trails were fantastic other than this 100 yard stretch of treacherous trail.

Met the morning crew for a "recovery" run which ended up being 10.5 at a 7:02 pace.  A little faster than I would have liked this morning trying to take it easy on the quads, now the other one is starting to act up.  Lots of large knots in the quads that don't want to go away.

Ran the BST from the gun range almost to BattleCreek and back.  The trail was busier today than I have ever seen it, ever, in summer, spring, fall, and it was dusty like an August run after a drought.  Fantastic temperature to be out, nice inversion setting in.  When you look at Suncrest it looks like a wave of filth billowing over suncrest into Utah County.

Did a new Loop through Lehi with Scott, Matt and Melanie.  The snow was a nice change of pace.  We averaged a 7:20 pace.  Felt good through the whole run, left leg is still not 100%. I then went to Jonathon's half marathon to help out.  Jody won the hilly, windy, meandering course.
