Crazy day. Coming through Salt Lake this morning we had a hydraulic leak and had to call maintenance out to the plane. After an hour it was evident that this was going to be an all dayer so I called the company and got a hotel for the day. Then I called Rob M for a run but he claimed to have just got back from a 15 miler so I headed out myself up city creek canyon. I needed some running today at a fast pace since I have been running so many 9-13 minute trail miles for months. So I did 6 miles up and ran down for 5 miles as fast as I could. 5:47, 5:27, 5:21, 5:25, 5:23. Totally downhill but still felt good to go that hard. Cooled down for an easy mile.
Called the mechanics and the plane was still down so I went to a diesel cat engine class over at Wheeler Machinery for four hours that I have had on my schedule for months. Plane still down, so I went on a Tempo run along the Jordan River Trail. Not fast, but hauling for me right now. The first half mile I was limping with that stupid knee but it worked out prettry good and I averaged a 6:50 pace for another 10. Pretty happy with that.
