Ran around the hospital in Denver and didn't have a very good day. I was having some lower back pain and the elevation was 5450 ft, which is ~1000 ft higher than my apartment in SLC. I definitely need to start working on altitude running to prepare for Bryce Canyon.

Ran around the neighborhood after work. The temperature was the highest I've run in so far this spring, but still tolerable. My average pace was 10:23/mile and average HR was 172 bpm. My HR was increasing with each successive lap, up to an average of 183 bpm on the last 1.4 mile, but the pace stayed pretty constant. The run didn't feel too good and makes me a bit nervous since I am supposed to run ~twice this distance at 3000 ft higher elevation in July. I didn't wear the cho-pat strap and my knee was hurting by the end of the run, however the pain did not persist through the evening.

Walked uphill on the treadmill to mix it up a little. Followed up with 50 crunches, 50 each side leg lifts, 50 each forward leg lifts, 1 x 30 sec plank, and 30 pushups.

Ran around the neighborhood this morning. The run still did not feel any better than Wednesday's. I think I might be fighting something off because I had some congestion and couldn't breath very well. I'm starting to get worried about the Bryce Canyon half because I feel like I should be running longer distances at this point...
