Age is just a number.

Easy-medium 10 miles with 3 miles at 6:45-6:50 and 3 at 6:15-6:30/mi.  2.5 easy warm up and 2.5 cool down at 8-9/min pace. 

Was up all night listening to old time radio programming on KSL while working on my current project; a 1935/36? Philco 620b radio. Not sure of the exact production run on this particular radio.  I picked this one up from a couple in Draper who's relative had recently passed and during my 2 month break I was working on an old 1930 General Electric console that was really a fun one to restore.  A really exceptional set in it's quality and sensitivity as I was able to pickup stations as far as Seattle and Omaha!  I think I'll post some pictures of them here sometime if anyone cares too see them.  Need to find that digital camera first though..  

Here it is.. I left the finish original other than several coats of Howard's with fine steel wool and chamois with lemon oil to bring out the grain. I like to preserve the original patina when I am able to:) Otherwise it has been restored electrically to function the way it used to in it's day.  This is a favorite one of mine.  This is what I do to keep me from getting too serious and burned out from competitive running..

AM-Easy 5 miles on 7th and 13th. 7-8/min pace.  No time for more this morning.

PM-10 miles with 32:07 for 5 miles at 1% incline. 10.0 mph at 146-150 bpm. About 85% mhr at 150 bpm. Then 5 miles on the road total at 7-8/min pace.

B-Raisin bran/cheese.   L-Burrito/orange.  Snack-Chocolate pudding after second run.  D-Cornbread/chili./peas on the side.

6 miles easy at 8/min pace.  7th east.

B-Toast/cereal.  L-2 large burritos/oranges. D-4 Pancakes with 4 pcs maple bacon and 2 eggs. yum:)   Very full after that one.

AM-Easy 4 miles with 2 at 7-8/min pace and the last 2 at 6:40/mile.  Cold.

PM-Easy 9.5 miles at 7-8/min pace or so with Adam (aka Acorn on the blog.) Didn't have a marked course with a reference point so we just did a quasi loop and got close to 10 miles according to Garmin. Gotta get me one of those toys eventually..  I had a really good time chatting and just running the miles. Man, I almost forgot what it was like to do that it's been so long.. Really makes the time fly by. Thanks Adam!  Ft Union loop via 10200 south and 7th-13th east.  Watch out for him at the races this year as he looked really good. I think if he can get above 60 mpw a week he could definitely be right up there in the local events.

B-Oatmeal/sourdough toast/milk.  L-2slbread/cheddar/fruit cocktail. D-Orange chicken with rice and peas.  snack-1 whole package of fudge cookies. Oops..

Easy 5 mile jog at 7:30-8/min pace.  7th east.

AM-Easy-Medium effort 17 miles on 7th and 13th east into Draper and about a mile up the trail. Stopped at the gym after mile 10 and put in 5 more at a solid 6/min pace at 1% incline and then cooled down on the way home for 2 miles.  Solid workout today if not spectacular.

PM-Easy 6 mile jog on 7th out and back at 8 min/mile pace. Threw some pickups in the middle to turn the legs over again. 

By the way this it may be a while before I'm online again as Comcast in it's profit hungry wisdom has decided to raise my rate for internet via rolling me off their "intro" offer. Funny thing is that over the course of time I've had several offers however my rate kept going up and up somehow until  hmm.. kinda tired of this shell game. 

Long run of 16 miles with the J Krong crew this morning. Great run, great course, but no gas in the tank this morning. I expected that though as this was done on a whim at the last minute. I was  just going to go to the gym today to do a few easy boring recovery miles on the treadmill but changed my mind.  Not the smartest idea but I think I'll be ok..  Hard day plus no breakfast plus not being in shape combined with high mileage coming off a two month break equals one tough long run today.  But it was worth it though:)  And by the way thanks Adam for staying with me on the rest of the run your a true friend and always have been.  Also whoever gave me the gu pack as I can't remember your name, thanks for that and it definitely helped me out.

Hopefully I'll get into better shape somewhere down the road however it's going to take some time so I just have to be patient for now and keep working.
