da miles

8 miles on trail.  7:41/mile average.  My left hand froze (why not both?) and I spent 15-20 minutes in my house in pain as I tried to get it warm again. 

Planned on running 10 tonight, was feeling good for most of the run.  Probably pushing a little harder than I should, but nothing too fast.  averaged 6:54/mile for the 9.28 miles and then I felt something weird in my calf and deep in my butt cheek.  Felt like I had slighty pulled my calf, but don't know why I felt it in my glut as well.  Decided to walk the rest of the way back, but jogged probably the last 100m and it felt okay, but it was tight.  I need to be patient and just recover!

Hiking in moab with my girls while wife was at "girls weekend" with her sisters.  Hiked Corona arch with my 2 year-old on my back in the carrier, and ended up carrying my 4 year old as well for a good chunk of it on the difficult parts.  Camped and found 3 geocaches, or as my girl calls them, "treasures".  Calf felt fine on the steep parts.   

7.60 miles up/down provo canyon at easy 8:00/mile pace.  pushing the  girls in the stroller.  Paying attention to calf.  Felt it and was a little annoying while I ran, but took it slow enough that it didn't feel like I made it worse at all.  Will try to ice a lot this week.
