Funny that my 50 mile time is faster than my 50K.  Guess that's what happens when your only 50K has over 11,000' of vertical ascent =)

Just want to stay happy and healthy.  Bring on whatever that may entail!

Personal:

I started running in April '09 and run to maintain some balance in my life.  Apparently I have an addictive personality so I figure I should do something positive with it.

Went to the BST in Sandy for one last nice trail run before the weather turns.  The plan was to meet my friend Scott and run the HPHM 10K route.  However, I ended up getting off work a bit early so I went up and ran a tempo run for 15 minutes out, then 15 minutes back.  It felt nice.  Then I met up with Scott in the parking lot and we ran the 3 miles out and back.  Felt like I only got 9.5 in total, so when I got home I took my dogs to the park and ran around for a bit with them to make it an even 10.

It was a beautiful day out there and I can't remember when I've had a more enjoyable run on that trail.  My back still hurt from being an idiot over the weekend, but I think running loosened things up a bit.  Things should be back to normal in the next few days.

On a side note I wore my Rogue Racers on this run and they were awesome.  My previous long run in them was 4 miles.  I love how much room they have in the toebox for my wide forefoot and how much more stable the platform feels compared to my Wildcats.  Looks like I'll be transitioning to these to race in next year.

Went on my 6 mile route at the JRP.  Things felt good, although I've definitely lost some speed since I last did this route a few months ago.  Frustrating, but it gives me some great motivation to get my fitness back to where it should be.

Took it easy today since my legs aren't exactly feeling spry.  Getting back to running more frequently will change that.  Rest tomorrow then figure out something for Saturday.  The weather's not looking great so a trail run may be out of the question.

Was all I could do to even get out the door this morning.  I was really hoping to hit something in the double digits, but considering my mental state I'll take the hour or so of running I was able to get in.  Didn't take a watch so I'm not sure on the time.  Pushing to run at least 5 days this next week and hopefully that will get me out of the current funk I'm in.
