No time for a solid run amongst the moving madness!!  Yeah, Katie and I bought a house, so last weekend and today was crazy!!  Good run though.  Had a straight 2 miles hard on the tread, with some easy stuff around it!

I got the OK to run this, I just had to take it slow.  I didn't want to bail on my second marathon in a row.  Things went pretty good, I enjoyed myself except for one little thing . . . . The rain wiped out my vaseline, and I chaffed pretty bad . . . let's just say that there was blood down BOTH of my legs, I think I scared a few people a long the way :)

 Overall it felt good to get back at it . . . the best part was NO HAMMY PAIN!  I am starting to get excited to get back into it aggressively!  I just have to work into it slowly

Early: To the gym so I could push it a bit more, and monitor my pace more closely.  Started slow then worked into a pretty good groove before tapering off into a cool-down.  8:49, 8:34, 8:20, 8:00, 7:43, 7:35, 3:31(.5miles), 8:34, 4:37 (.5miles).

Late: played full court basketball for an hour, not hard though, (2mile) just nice and easy.  It worked good for a shakeout.

 I'm getting so close to being back!

Solid 7 miles today . . . I mixed in some hills and tempo work, but I think I need to take it a bit easier tomorrow, this has been a big week for me.

LATE: basketball again, half court for 90 minutes. (2 miles)

SLOW day, my legs have had just about enough this week, but that is ok!  Nice and easy for 6, then ran as hard as I could for the last .5.  I ran out by Saltair, which was nice because it is as flat as a pancake.
