PM: 3.8 miles easy in South Weber, avg pace 6:42/mile. Then I did some core and pushups at home afterwards. I've gotten a bit lazy on the core and need to get back on top of it.

10 easy, recovery miles on the trails in the dark by headlamp with Dave, avg pace 8:52/mile with 1,600 feet of elevation change (am I blogging this correctly trail runners?) It was a very enjoyable run, we saw two herds of deer, which is cool and also creepy in the dark when your headlamp suddenly illuminates ten pairs of eyes! After the run I did some upper body lifting at the gym.

LONG RUN: PROGRESSION

I met Jason at his house in Layton/Clearfield and we did a long run on the rail trail and west into Syracuse and along that pathway out there into West Point and finally climbing back up to the rail trail again back to his house. 

We ran the first 15 miles on a progression, the final four of which were uphill. First 15 miles were: 720 653 635 633 628 622 554 555 555 551 551 544 541 535 529. Then we ran the last four miles as a cooldown. Overall pace was 6:23/mile. This is my longest run in a over a year! This fat, old, out-of-shape, previously-injured body is starting to round back into form slowly...
