AM: Commute run in with a stop off at my polling place. Got both my voting and the exit poll completed in under 15 minutes. Not too shabby. The weather has just been so perfect the last few days. Trying to enjoy it while it lasts. Left foot still achy but each day since Friday has been slightly better.

Mi 3.5 Avg. 8:22 HR 165 (strange about the heart rate, must have got worked up voting...)

PM: A&W in reverse.

Mi 6 Avg. 7:52 HR 150

awesome weather indeed.

nice job getting it all done in one shot (run, vote, commute). time management at its finest.

It's the only way. You had such an awesome workout this morning. How is participation looking for the race this weekend? I'm still checking to see if I can swing it or not.

participation is pretty sad at this point -- we have 14 registered. hoping for about 80 more in the next two days. :)

Every time I see that picture (top left) I crack up. I'm assuming you're the guy pushing the kids...shirtless dude on the left never knew what hit him.

Allie, Hopefully it picks up this week and that I can add my name to that list.

Kendall, Yes I'm the one with the stroller. It was a 5K in SugarHouse. I didn't get him until that final straight away. I do not think he had any idea until he saw me.
