I got up this morning at 4 am and drove down to Bryce Canyon. Ran from Fairyland Point to Sunrise and back and then a smidgen on the Rim trail. 9:10 pace with lots of climbing. Then I drove back home. So 9 hours of driving and 2 hours of running.

My throat is sore because I sang a lot in the car both ways.

Easy run with Andy. My left Achilles is feeling a little suspect so I''m taking it easy. No doubt that run in the snow saturday.

AM: 9:25 miles at 8:30 pace. Didn't seem very easy though with my little bit of post-race soreness and in my sister's hilly neighborhood.

Drivinghome from my sister's house the plan was to stop off in Boulder for lunch and a run. Ended up doing all of Magnolia Road and deciding to stay the night at the super cool Boulder Adventure Lodge.

15 miles on Magnolia Road. Andy joined me for mile 11. Noticed that it's actually Magnolia Driive.
