Easy run on most of the Ensign Loop with Heather and Jack.  Great weather, nice day for a run.

This morning I decided to abandon all my usual routes and try to run some new terrain. Specifically, I decided I would run up every hill that I would otherwise avoid.  You think you know an area because you've seen the same things a lot, but even small tweaks can lead to new discoveries.  So, I rambled around the U, upper Federal Heights, etc., with a few crazy trail connections (some very steep) in between everything.  The concept for the run worked well.

Black Sheep workout at Liberty Park. Josh Steffen coached. Warmed up one loop around the park (1.4 mi).  Part A:  6 x Quarter Loops around park with 1 min breaks, at sub-5k pace. Part B:  2 x 1/2 Loops around the park, 2 min break.  Part C: 6 x Quarter Loops around park with 1 min breaks, at sub-5k pace.  This was tough and Josh and I were pretty cooked by the end. Cool down one more loop, then we voted.

We were very tight on time in our house this morning, so I had to hurry to squeeze in 8 miles. I ran an extended Avenues loop with a return via Memory Grove.  Pace was 7:01, which is quick considering the first couple of miles are all climbing.

Radda run.  It was light enough to include the canal section, which was very pleasant.  Sam told me about a woman who was hit by a car while running on Haven Lane a couple of months ago.  No one knew what happened for a while, but now it turns out her husband has been arrested in the case.  That's my third-hand understanding of the events.  I'm kind of surprised it's not in the news.

Out and back to Donner Hill Monument in Emigration Canyon. Added a few frolics and detours on the way back to add a little mileage.

We had our work retreat up at Deer Valley this weekend.  Heather and Jack were up as well.  Heather and I ran (and walked) an easy six mile route, partially on the Mid-Mountain trail, partially on the Sultans trail.  Everything is very brown right now and waiting for snow, but the weather was great and we had fun.
