Another nice morning. But I didn't have much mojo the last few miles.

Perfect morning for a run with temps around 50 and very little wind. Did a few faster miles to test out the (hopefully) healed back. So far so good.

Nice & easy 6 mile run with Kimi followed by 2 hours of pickleball. Perfect way to start the morning.

Nice run with Kim except for when I was a klutz and did a face plant. But looks like I managed not to injure myself.

Nice run in St George with Kimi. Thought it might get pretty toasty but wasn't so bad.

First run down Payson canyon starting at the parking area about a mile above the Grotto down to beercan. Gotta get used to the burn areas and views changed forever probably for my lifetime.

Nice easy run. A little stiff in the quads from the Payson canyon run but not too bad.

Felt OK but didn't feel like going fast, so instead went a bit longer than usual.

Pretty nippy starting out for a summer day. Which means after the first mile it was perfect.

Another perfect running morning. Felt pretty good which is surpising considering all the junk I ate over the weekend.

Did a few repeats up and down Harry's hill with Kimi. Just maybe the uphill is getting to be a tiny bit easier.
