Little workout at Sugarhouse Park during lunch. Wore my Pegasus because they have lots of forefoot cushion. Probably not ideal for fast running but I'll take what I can get at this point.

Warmed up for 1.5 on the grass perimeter then moved to the inner street of the park and did 2 continuous loops at tempo pace. Good practice for hills. First loop was 8:01 then 7:56, I had another one in me but decided to play it safe and call it a day. Lots of people out, beautiful day. I was able to ditch the shirt and work on the skin cancer :)

Legs felt a little dead from yesterday's bike intervals. Foot hurt a little during the tempo but was fine on the grass. I may be running 10 laps of liberty park for my longer weekly run or 7-8 loops of the sugarhouse perimeter. Should be fun.

Good times on that loop.

Dimple Dell is another soft surface option if Liberty/SHP get wayyyyyy too boring.

Jake,

Thanks for mentioning Dimple Dell. I haven't run there and will likely check it out, always fun to mix things up. I'm glad there are a few softer options, otherwise I'd be stuck on the bike.

Its almost as easy to get to as Liberty Park, and you can run a long ways there in the gully w/out doing the same thing. Pretty hilly, too.

it is impossible to get bored at liberty park.

nice workout, adam.

Allie,

There's always something happening. Today I was almost bit by a pitbull while stretching after my run. He was on a leash but the owner wasn't paying attention. The owner apologized and then asked me if I wanted to pet the pitbull, which was still growling at me. I asked him if he really thought that was wise and he just looked at me for a second like I was a jerk. Weird.

Really good lap times for that course Adam. Looking fit and strong. Hope you have some great races this year:)

ACorn,

Hi. Well your comment to Allie reminded me of Burt. He always has mishaps of some sort. But I remember another story you mentioned - the driver who I think hit you (or you hit his truck with your hand) and he started mouthing off - I may be off on this...it's the way I remember it. The joy of running. Nice workout. Hoping this foot issue gets resolved! Wanting you to get the time you are seeking for the upcoming Half Marathon. Be well.

Steve,

Thanks for checking in. I hope to have some good ones too! I will be looking for your results on athlinks.

Thanks PRE! I've obviously got to figure out this foot issue. I've sprained my right ankle more times than I can remember and think that may have something to do with it. Probably range of motion issues. This happened to me before my last 1/2 too. Last time, I basically stopped training for a month before the race. This time I'm going to ride as much as needed and run on soft surfaces as much as possible.

I'm prone to minor mishaps but Burt is in his own league.

Still a solid workout, despite the foot issue!
