Went running at lunch.  Decided to do a different hill today.  Ran up 2000 N. in Orem up to the gate of the dry canyon trailhead. It was a nice uphill workout.  The blisters on my feet are still giving me some pain and discomfort.  Hopefully one day they will be completely healed.  

Overall I had a 7:29 pace.  The final 5k, which most pretty much all downhill, down 650 feet, was still at a slower pace than 5k speed.  Looking forward to being injury free so I can pick up the pace a little.

I decided to run a 5k today, in the cancer clouds.  I haven't tried to run at speed for any length of time since September.  I ended up with 20:31, which is where I was around June of last year.  Not too shabby for coming off injury, etc.  Feet did pretty good today, no real pain while running.

I headed out on the Jordan River trail in the afternoon hoping to run 13-14 miles.  I started off doing  a tempo run.  I tried to keep under a 6:30 pace for the first 4 miles, which had my heart rate around 170.  The next 3 miles went up to around 7:20 pace.  My feet started to bug me after 7, so I slowed down and ended up only running 11ish.
