Early morning run. Always seem a bit antsy on Mondays about going back to work. Couldn't seem to get the sluggishness out of my legs the entire run.

Another dandy Payson Canyon downhill run. Temps nice and cool it felt great. Every week it feels a little easier, ave pace today was the fastest I've done this year (7:21). It was nice to to run with Ken K and have him help keep me talking to distract me from the tiredness towards the end. I'm still really wimpy on uphill so I probably should try and do more of that, maybe on Thursdays.

Some light recovery miles in the morning + some walking/hiking on the BST. Saw 3 2-point bucks on the BST all with nice new fuzzy antlers.

Was only planning to go 18 today but Dan made me go around the golf course which put me over 19. I was smart this time and went out a little slow the first 5-10 miles which made the later miles much more enjoyable. Still plenty tired though.
