Jardine Juniper after work. It has really greened up there, and the wildflowers are out. Beautiful run. Felt pretty good. Made it to the tree in just under 48 minutes going easy.

1:23:25 (8:20/mi.)

Last week's experimentation with doubles was a spectacular failure. For now I'll just stick to one run a day, unless for some reason I have to break it up. It's not that it's difficult (it actually feels easier), it's that after doing a run in the morning it's much too easy to justify skipping the afternoon when it's hot out and I have other things to do.

JJ- jealous.

If you can do all your mileage with singles, great. I'm all doubles these days. Seems to help with injury prevention. Even with (VERY HOT) afternoon runs (80 deg at 6 am for me today, then 95 at lunch. humid).

By the way, make sure you run Stump as often as you can. I think of it fondly, even though I only did it 2 or 3 times.

Curious- how would you rate your favorite Cache Valley trail runs? My list is here: http://jon.fastrunningblog.com/blog--Cody-and-I-were-talking-about-our-favo/08-22-2010.html

Just because you said that, I'm going to go check out Stump Hollow tomorrow. Be jealous. My list is probably very similar to yours. I've got more exploring to do though. And I also really like the Willow Creek/Temple Fork/Blind Hollow/Tony Grove route that I paced you on. Only done it twice, but yeah. Oh, and Bunchgrass to White Pine Lake probably also makes at least the Top 10. Man, I just planned like a week of running right there. Thanks! haha

Anyway, yeah I've had good luck with singles without getting injured. And I don't really know, but I like to think that it prepares me better for the race...the more long runs I do, the better I'll handle long races. Later this summer/fall I'll probably add some doubles, but still do the bulk of my daily mileage in a single run. Just tack on a few extra in the mornings or something to boost the mileage.

PS, Logan summers have made me a pansy. I can't remember how I trained for St. George in 105 degree weather every day.

Yeah, it's a good thing Holt isn't reading this. He would mock your pansy-ness!
