Single: As good as last week was is as bad as this week is. Oh well, you can't win them all. Work has just been extra tough and I thought I found a solution to one of the problems I've been working on since I moved to SLC on Friday. However, when I tried to repeat it it didn't work. I guess that is why they call it REsearch instead of just search...

I made it out for a run at the end of my day. Ran to MG and back very easy except for the FireHouse mile that at did at MP (5:52) just for fun.Mi 8-R1 Avg. 8:02 HR 147

Adam,

Are you meeting this Saturday. My wife has a soccer game at 8 in SLC. If you're running early again and you'd like some company, count me in.

Thanks, Steve

Steve, I would really like to, but I will be in Chicago. The following weekend (May 10th) I mentioned to Chad about getting together for an easy 10+ as he does his taper for Ogden and I'm sure you are more than welcome to join us then. If you happen to be in SL area during the week let me know a day in advance and I'll see if I can work in a run... -Adam
