It was 50 degrees and calm this morning.  It rained last night so it was a bit humid.  I ran 2 slow, easy miles before our group run.  My quads are stiff from the marathon Saturday so it took a bit to loosen up.  I ran 2.5 with the group then finished with Barry and Chad.  Total 8.21 easy miles.

It was 41 degrees and calm this morning.  Much nicer than yesterday.  I ran a couple miles before our group run.  Today was speedwork day.  We ran repeats of different distances based on our fitness.  Barry, Chad and I ran 1/2 mile repeats (6) and kept them all between 3:00 and 3:15.  I got a bit tired at the end of each one, probably still some fatigue from the marathon.  Then I ran a few miles by myself after.  Total 10.11 miles.

It was 38 degrees and calm this morning.  At the last minute, Barry found us a ride back from Inkom so we decided to run the back of Buckskin on the marathon course.  We started out slow but my legs kept wanting to go faster, so I would run ahead and then run back to meet the group every couple of miles.  I really didn't feel like I was pushing at all but was running just under 7:00.  Even with my slower sections when I ran with Barry and Todd my average was under 7:25 for the whole run.  I feel totally fine after Ogden and am rarin' to go for Utah Valley in 2 weeks.  I am planning a 20+ miler on Tuesday on my day off as my last long run before then.  Total today 15.74 miles.
