AM: Got up at 6 without an alarm because I am back in Utah and the time difference is amazing. I got up and went on my 3 mile loop. I felt great but the dry air and altitude definitely got me. I was breathing super hard.

PM: Met up with Danny at SHP and did an inside loop in the park. We saw Levi so we stopped and talked to him for a while, then we did another inside lap and went home. Now time to unpack.

This morning I am still on Maryland time because I got up at 6 and was wide awake. I did my usual 3 mile loop. Felt great. The altitude isnt bothering me as much now as the dry air is. 

This afternoon I met up with Danny and Levi for a run. We went from SHP and did half of an outside loop then ran across 15th east until we got to 13th east, stopped and stretched and ran back to SHP to finish out that outside loop we started. Today was HOT! I was absolutely exhausted when I finished. 

AM: Slept in... I went otside to run but it was too hot so I went to the elliptical and did 3 miles. At 3 miles I figured I might as well do that last half mile to even out the half mile I did yesterday so I would have even mileage. Felt sore. 

PM: Met up with Danny and Christian at SHP for a short run. Mile warm up around the park then we stretched. Ran around the park pacing Christian at a moderate pace, aiming for 10:30 and hit it right on the nose. Then did a half mile cooldown.

Met up with Suzette at the park and ride to drive up to Pipeline. Went out 2.5 and back. Felt absolutely great. It is nice to trail run again. Got breakfast after. It was so fun to run with Suzette again and catch up with her.
