Yes, another 7 mile run. I really pack in the miles these days (not). I had a decent run up around Federal Heights and then up to 12th Avenue. Usually, I would run this route up through the University I cut it short today so that I could head over to Memory Grove. I have been thinking a lot about racing plans recently. Mostly, I have been thinking about not racing all. However, I do have a very slight inclination to run the Wahsatch Steeplechase in June. It seems like every year around this time I start to think about Steeplechase. It is a fun race on a very unique course. Since I live less than a mile from the start, it is also easy for me to train regularly on the course. Right now, it is a very snowy/muddy up there and it will be a while before I can get in any decent runs up toward Black Mountain, but I suppose the seed is planted. Also, Heather is due with baby number two the week after the race so perhaps the timing makes sense. For some reason, I cannot seem to get my head into training to race on the road right now. work is crazy and I do not have as much time as I would need do it right. So, maybe if I can get motivated to do something a little bit different, it will keep me going. Why do I still feel like I'm recovering from St. George?
