After the hard run last night I was wired. That and I had a bunch of work to do. For whatever reason decided not to stop until I finished the table I was working on, that was at 2:55am... The morning was sluggish and even with sleeping in with that late of a bedtime the total sleep was still lacking. I guess that's what I get for sleeping over 8hr the night before. Today was ok, felt good about getting the stuff done last night. Now to move on to the next thing. The run was pretty random. Up and down random streets to Liberty then over to SugarHouse then home. Avg. 8:11

Relays are way overrated!

You know you missed it this year. I will say they beat you up a little too much for what they're worth but Del Sol was still one of the best running experiences I've ever had.
