TR12 bump up on mileage, took it easy and ran 5 @ 9:05 pace.  I was a little leery about the distance because saturday's run left me with some aches and a pissy IT band.  I felt good and pushed on.  No IT problems.  I wonder if it hurt because of all the downhill I ran on Sat.  OH well it felt great today beacause I didn't feel it at all. 

PS Draper needs to turn on the water fountains at the parks!

 TR19  7 @ 9:14 avp. Since I slacked off on running all weekend I thought I'd better do 7 today to make up for it.  7 @ 9:14 avp. I learned a couple of things on my run:

1.  9 oclock is too late to go running when its gonna be warm.

2.  Draper City sucks for still not having the water fountains on

3. I'm stupid for not bringing my training belt.

4. I really could have used a gel and water.

5. Even though I was a little thirsty and hot its still nice to know I can go run 7 miles and not get worn out.

6. MY wife kicks ass!

TR20 HOT HOT HOT,  After my 7 yesterday and then roto-tilling the garden last night I was exhausted today.  But one of my running buddies who is 59 (hardcore) wanted to go run.  So we set out at 10 am.  I did bring my training belt with an 8 oz bottle; and of course Draper had the  water fountains on.  Thats ok I need to start running all the time with my belt.  We ended up running 5.75 at about a 9:38 avp which was really good considering I felt like I was hitting the wall in the marathon the whole time.
