Wasn't working today so went running a little later, headed south on the JRT down to the new bridge/road, and ran down the a new dirt trail they are building next to the new road a little.  

I average 7:13 over 10 miles and I did mile 8 in 6:18.  I was going to run 12, but had blisters forming the last mile or so, so left it at 10 miles, didn't want them to get any bigger.  It was a nice run, nice weather.

Ran at lunch through Lindon on the trail.  Went with Wes the first 2 miles, he was running 4, I went the rest of the way to the end of the trail at our normal 3 mile turnaround and then did a timed 5k back to work.  My splits were 5:53, 6, 6:32, :36.  for a total time of 19:02.  I never felt like I was running with a form I would like to keep.  Couldn't stay up on the forefoot, though when I did it felt smoother.  Getting close to the end of the 2nd mile I was fighting to keep going at that pace, and ultimately I  slowed down.  I had an average heart rate of 171, and only approached 180 on the last uphill the last .2.  So I guess I could have gone faster looking at the heart rate. Tried body glide on the feet for the first time today, I had a blister from yesterday, I had run out of the silicone, and ended up with another blister in the same spot, so not sure if the body glide wasn't nearly as good, or if the foot was already damaged and just aggravated the existing blister.  I ran a total of 6 miles.

Ran with Sasha, Jeff and Brian on the PRT.  Was a nice run, very nice temperature, nice speed for the 10 miles.  Felt a little drained the last 2 miles from the run yesterday.  No real aches or pains to complain of, must not be doing something right, or enough of it, or maybe I'm doing it somewhat right so my body isn't complaining, either way, I'm not going to complain.

Ran 1 mile with kids, then went out on the JRT and did 16.  Haven't checked times yet, but will probably update this once I have.  Felt pretty good the whole time, enjoyed the hills up to redwood road.
