Went nice and easy this morning 8 miles since my legs a still a bit tender from the race. Also got to the gym before lunch for 30 min XT + core.

Got out a little later in the morning than usual so I could get a jump on busy work day and also to run in warmer temps. Need to try and get a few warm/hot weather runs so I won't be so wimpy if SGM happens to be toasty this year. Probably should have waited until later in the day since it wasn't really all that warm when I finished. Did 3 or 4 strides along the way just to loosen up the legs a bit. Legs felt pretty good actually.

A bit warm & muggy this morning with a few drops of rain. Decided to leave the watch at home.

Nice run from the top of Payson Canyon down to Salem. Large group of runners today I think around 25 or so showed up although not all were running the full distance.

Legs felt really good through about 20 miles. I always get nervous about the steep downhill but I seemed to do fine with quite a few sub-7 pace miles down the canyon. Probably the best long training run I've had this year.
