Short speedwork today, two mile warm up, 2X1mile at 5:30, 1 mile all out, 4X400s, 2 cool down.  Sore calves from Saturday which is probably due to running in flats for the first time this year, heel lowering.

Now I'm sitting by the pool for the rest of the day.  This feels like I'm a school teacher. 

Halfway through "Hell on Two Wheels" and trying to figure out if this whole thing is real.

Easy afternoon run in Detroit.

Best new (for me) running music discoveries:  Nickelback, Shinedown, Three Days Grace, MSG.  Wow..

2am wake up today in Detroit, good times.  Snowing in Cache Valley when I got home so the kids and I went to the gym.  I got in a fun fartlek style run, 2 miles warm up then (200,200,400, 1 mile) X3.  200s at 14mph, 1 mile at 12mph, 400 in between at 8mph, 2 easy for cool down.  Jogged around the indoor track for 20 minutes with the kids.  We are training for the annual 1 mile school run they do in a month.

Just about the fastest interval style workout on the treadmill for me, but very short.  I'm just a little worried about the lingering calf soreness from jumping into flats too quick.  30 minutes of upper body lifting.

Easy run in the morning and spent the rest of the morning at my daughters science fair.  Awesome day!  Worked the flight today from Salt Lake to Denver and then the Boston flight which was just a cool experience.  Walter was on the flight and 3 of our flight attendants that were going to Boston to run as well.  I had the gate agent make a PA for any marathoners to come up to the gate that were flying with us for a picture and there were 15 more!  Great flight and a ton of fun talking to everyone about their goals.  Excited for the rest of the weekend!

Got up early in Boston and flew to Cancun and back.  Perfect day for pre marathon relaxing.  Three movies and tons of food.

Nice 8.5 in Boston tonight with some strides and hanging out with Walter waiting for Rob's flight to get in
