It ain't Chinese algebra!

Easy miles this morning. Felt okay, but not great.

Better than yesterday. My left quad isn't feeling 100 percent, but the slight pain went away after 4 miles. Averaged 7:18/mile. No run tomorrow as I'll be @ the Portland airport from 7 am until 5 pm, followed by a flight and a 3 hour drive home, arriving sometime after midnight. Fun stuff.

Portland was a quick/rough/rewarding trip.  I got sick Tuesday night (food poisoning or flu?) and could hardly eat Wednesday.  Didn't get home until 1 Thursday morning, so run didn't happen that day either.  Which brings me to today......10 miles this morning. My best run since the marathon in terms of zero body pain. It was slow, but for a while I'm trying to keep all my runs above 7:00/mile. Anyway, ran the Wal-Mart loop plus the dirt trail to the shooting range for drunks. It's been a while since I ran that trail--good to see that it's still there and new homes haven't taken over the area.

Pace: 7:11

I slept in and went out around 8:30. That was a mistake. It's officially hot in Cedar City. I ran nice and easy through the backroads to the north freeway exit, south to the golf course and around the new homes there, then back home. I averaged 7:30/mile for the first 10 miles, then ran a 5:24 for my last mile. It felt good to pick up the pace for the first time in a while. I had wanted to get in 15 this morning but ran out of time, so I may go back out tonight. Not likely, but who knows....

I actually did it--6 more miles tonight. My stomach was still full from a late lunch, so it wasn't pretty. Averaged 7:38/mile.
