Loop in Alpine with Scott and Reed.  Muscle tightness has shifted to a new muscle for the 3rd or 4th week in a row.  Inner thigh now on both sides.

Ran with Scott and Matt in Lehi.  Left leg quit working going up the gully, upper right quad still tight.   Great morning for a run, a little icy in a few spots.

Did a 5:47 mile at mile 5.  Then a 6:27 mile at mile 7.  Right hammy and quad were tighening up, probably due to si joint being out.  Left leg still doesn't feel right either. When I stopped to turn around my right leg quit working, could hardly walk, got my SI joint back in and then leg had power and no pain.  Would be nice if this thing stabilized in the right place.

 Did 8 on the BST above Lindon in the PM.  Some Mud, puddles, snow, but who cares, the trails are awesome.

Nice easyish run with Scott and Reed in Alpine.  We found ourselves doing a couple of miles in the 6:40 range so had to slow down a couple of times.  Great morning for a run.  Right leg, hamstring and upper inner thigh still got tight around the 5 mile mark.

 

Ran 7 with Seth Hales on the BST in the PM

Ran 12 with Scott, Chad and Matt.  South on the JRT.   Legs felt almost good for most of the run, just a little residual tightness.

Met the large group at JulieC's house in PG this morning.  Was a bit more nippy than most of us thought it was going to be.  We started out slow and did a nice progression run for many miles.  At around 11, my right hamstring and quad started tightening up, again, this is getting very old.  Keeps slowing me down and have to back off for awhile.  It eventually loosened up a bit and I was able to pull out a 5:56 mile at mile 19.  Had five miles around a 6:30 pace, would have been nice to keep the faster pace with the speedsters longer, but the legs won't have any part of it, for now.  Good times with good people.  Thanks JulieC for the course, organization and food.  

I averaged a 145 heart rate for 20, the 5:56 mile, the heart rate was approaching 170 by the end of it, so probably could not maintain that for much longer than I did, but had plenty of cardio left in the tank for most of the run.
