Music part of the music forerunner 645 hasn't been working well so I'll probably send it back in for a replacement. It also froze once I completed the run.

6-7 miles is about my comfort level right now, averaged 7:09 running up wasatch boulevard from my house. About a quarter of a marathon. If marathons are happening 3-5 months from now I'd love to run one.

Averaged 6:43 over 4.1 miles. Plus a few hundred meters before my GPS started tracking. Pretty good run, kept to flat ground today. Will probably do mile repeats again with Jake on Sunday and another run Friday or saturday.

Averaged 6:50 for 30 minutes. Felt a little harder than it should. 5-9 miles tomorrow.

Also finished the Red Book today. Man Carl Jung was on something during world war 1. Great writer. Very smart man. Had a psychotic break for a few years...

Ran up to wasatch boulevard and went until the shoulder gets too small to run on. Luckily there's a trail head there. So I went another quarter mile on the trail and then turned back. Probably best to avoid trails right now, if I sprained my ankle I would also mess my hand up even more. And I'm still easing my achilles back.

Very beautiful run and perfect weather. Best feeling run I've had for a while. Very enjoyable day. Averaged about 7:00 for the whole run, I tried to hold back the first few miles and then on the downhill going home I let myself go faster and pushed it for a mile.
