Ran with my buddies Mike, Bull and Jeff. Took it easy til we hit the Dixie center trail system (Painters course) and then I decided I was feeling good and would throw some tempo miles in and I would go til I hit the end of the trails on river road. Bull came right along with me and Mike and Jeff not too far behind. 6:32, 6:36, 6:45. Cooled off running up river road. Hunfg back and chatted with Jeff and then Bull added on a section and I went to catch up to him (6:55) . Felt great today, will take it very easy tomorrow and friday so I have fresh legs for Sat. Did my first ice bath today, I dont know why I have never done these but my muscles feel so good now. I am going to start doing these as much as I can, hopefully I can do them at least 2xduring the week and for sure after sat long runs. Also going back to April after work for a mini session to just make sure that hamstring is ready to go!

Good job this morning. I'm still debating about doing Hobblecreek. Bill and I are both signed up, but I think we're both a little worried about what kind of shape we are in and don't want to get injured. I had a good workout last night and plan to take things easy the next few days, just in case I decide to go and run.

Do you know what time you will arrive in Provo Friday? I'm trying to see if you will arrive soon enough to deliver my shoes to Sasha (who is coming up to Logan that day) or if I should have Hooper ship them.

The ice bath is the best! I wish I had more time in the mornings so I could do them more often1. Auqafor? I have not heard of it, I will try to call you later.

Nice job today!

Dustin,

I hope you are feeling good enough to run!

Probably not til around 4 or 5. It just depends on when I get away.

Marcie- Walter says he has a friend coming to Logan from St. George who will grab my stuff, so don't worry about it. Thanks, though.

Ice baths are the best - so glad you are converted :)
