Chad's Runs

Slow recovery run. My quads are a little slow and my legs are tired from Saturday's run. That's good. I took it easy and put in the miles.

I almost forgot. I saw a beaver this morning swimming under the bridge crossing the Jordan River. It's nice having some light for my morning runs.

Did some half mile repeats but I'm entering this a week later so I don't really remember much. I hit my pace or better on each of the seven. That much I know.

This the annual celebration here at the Utah State Developmental Center and this is the second year of the 5K. They changed up the course a little since last time. There were hills and other parts of the course that staff had a hard time negotiating a wheel chair.  The organizer just measured it in his car and told us it was going to be 3.3 but everyone with a GPS ended getting 3.6.  Anyway, it was fun.  I came in second again behind a 60+ year old, but that guy is fast so I'm happy with the result.  I thought the co-working of mine that came in 3rd last year was going to give me a run for my money but in the end I smoked him.  This is the fastest I've run in a while.  I haven't really tested myself, especially at this short of a distance.  I was slower than last year but infinitely than I would have been 6 months ago.  I've still got a ways to go before I'm back to where I was a year and a half ago.

10 easy miles. It was nice and cool for a change.
