Recovery run around the Highland Glen pond with Richard. I was sore, especially at the start, but could run almost without pain after a couple of miles.

Felt much better this morning, but still sore in my calves and quads. Felt better the farther I ran. Was able to even push the pace a bit at the end.

Hiked up to Julie Andews Meadow from the Timpanookee Campground with some of the YW from our stake. The hike was longer, but I thought I'd only count the portion where my HR was above 85 or so (estimated). It was such a beautiful hike that I was really wondering why I don't get up there more often. It was a bit sad to see how out of shape some of the girls are. A couple of them were seriously exhausted after a little more than a mile of moderate ascent. The encouraging part is that they vowed to start working out so that they could do better next year.

Headed out for a longer run this morning, but cut it short after experiencing sharp and persistent groin pain running down a short hill. It felt better as I walked, but was still there when I tried to start up again. I don't think I did any real damage, but it was still sore getting in and out of the car an hour later. If I have a chance tonight, I'll have to try the elliptical machine to get everything stretched out properly. Still have a bit of knot in my left calf.

Highland Glen Loop at noon. It was about 80 degrees, with a slight breeze. Didn't really feel that hot until I stopped.

Highland Glen loop. Tightness in calves almost gone.
