Long run up provo canyon, solo. It didn't go very well. I wanted to do 8-10 at MP but only managed 4. I could tell on the way up that it wasn't going to go very well. Maybe fasting on Sunday contributed...who knows. Achilles is still sore, my right ankle was painful and my IT band hurt. It was a pretty discouraging run. 6:30 avg for the run.

Still a solid run despite not hitting all of the MP miles. We missed you on Saturday. Sorry to hear about the achilles and be careful with that IT band. My IT band has acted up ever so slightly the last few runs and I am worried because it's a slippery slope. Hope to see you out there soon.

You still got the job done, Mike. Nice work! Not easy to do solo. And don't worry about a thing -- not all tempos feel good. Not a big deal at all; you still got the benefits from the run. We missed having you there on Saturday. Take care of those injuries!

you got 22 miles in bro. Your fitness is spot on and your partners have kept youin tact. You have nothing to worry about. Get healed just like we all say to each other. If you would like to climb some stairs with me you are more than welcome to join my efforts :) hang tough and keep making it happen Dr. Smooth!

Thanks folks! I missed you all on Saturday too. I'm extra sad to miss this Saturday, you guys will have a great run on the course.

We'll have to do another group long run before St. George.
