Law Day Run. My fust race since St. George Marathon.  One of the conditions of my employment is recruiting the fastest possible team to keep the "Speed Team" tropnhy in this event for my firm., Manning Curtis Bradshaw & Bednar. We've won it the past ten years. There is never any telling who will show up to challenge us. Last year it was BJ Christensen and friends. This year it was the Olson Shaner team of Teren Jameson and his wife, Sue Nielsen  tand a couple of the young super speedy bloggers, including Thatcher Olson. Our "A" team consisted of Josh Steffen, Sasha, Jeff McC, Emily Bates and Aimee Larkin (teams of five, must have at least two women).  [I put myself on "B" team since they are all much faster than me].  Incredibly, our team beat Teren and friends by three seconds.  Amazing performances all around and I couldn't be more proud of everyone's effort.

For my part, I had a decent race. It felt good to run hard. It was raining and slightly windy but good conditions for a 5k.  I ran as hard as I could given my current fitness. I was about 30 seconds slower than last year, which seems about right given where my training was then and where it is now. I would have liked to run under 18 minutes but it's a tough course.

Our "B" team was third overall and I think we did great. Kevin Tuck, Casey Kleinman, Kathryn Connor & Megan Calll were my teammates. I am very fortunate to have so many fast, fit friends that are interested in doing this event.  Thanks to all, and great job to the Olson Shaner team--you guys made an amazing effort.

Black Sheep workout. John Straley led us through the paces on the U of U campus.  Ran the "Golden Mile" around campus alternating hard/easy on each quarter. Then the meat of the workout was 4 x 90 seconds, starting on the flat and running up hill on the center of campus. With a piece of chalk in hand, we all marked our finishing spot and then tried to beat it on each subsequent interval. Then 4 x 1 minute up the same hill, only without any flat part, same chalk drill. Then another "golden mile" alternating minute on/minute off. My hamstrings are toast. I need a massage.

I ran a new trail segment in Red Butte canyon. More uphill than the traditional route but I enjoyed the change in scenery. I don't know why I chose a hilly route after yesterdays uphill brutality.

Cucina loop on the shoreline trail. I was running at record pace for this route until I stopped and checked out a couple of yard sales in the last mile. Didn't buy anything.

Black Sheep workout, the "Penny Run." Brutal.

Red Butte canyon, out and back. I listened to the podcast of the Radio West show about the new book "Born to Run."

Once again, I headed up toward the Red Butte gate via shoreline trail. I ran into Adam RW along the way and he joined me for my route and we had a chance to catch up on life, which we haven't done for a while. Great weather today, a nice run.
