Got a late start this morning. Our power went out about 6:30 pm yesterday from the wind storm and we ended up hanging out with several neighbors out on the porch until 11:30pm. Power didn't come back on until 2:30am. Had to get up and deal with a beeping stove at that time. So I got out the door about 6:30. I ran down 4th Ave, across Canyon Road, up around the Capitol, to Gravity Hill, north into City Creek. Took it easy for three miles up City Creek Canyon. Also took it easy for three miles down City Creek Canyon, running 6:50 pace most of the way down. Then zig zagged back down through the Avenues to home. I read about Landis' positive test this morning and it's very disappointing. Like a lot of folks, I was right on that guy's bandwagon and thought his performance in Stage 17 was mind blowing. I'll withhold judgment until there is some final word on what happened, but it's discouraging. I mean, you gotta know you're going to get tested. No moment of victory is worth this long term stain. |
