Not much time today and my legs needed a rest so I just did the City Creek loop at lunch. I went faster than a recovery run should have been I'm thinking so I need to slow down tomorrow for sure.  I don't want to push it and end up injured again.

Easy peasy. Yeah man, no need to rush into anything - the payoff will come later. Good that you're getting some runs in!
