Total Distance
11.20

3 miles on the treadmill this morning.

8.2 miles this afternoon.

I had a one hour break from 2:20 p.m. to 3:20 p.m. so I wanted to get out and do a run. I left the high school and went over to River Road then down to the trail that cuts off by the river and runs up through Bloomington Hills. Then trailed it over to the Dixie Center and around by the car dealerships and Fruniture Rowe, and up to 700 south and back to the school.

The 8.2 miles took 50:05. I left the school just running easy but the 6 min guy wanted to race I told him not today but by mile three I couldn't take any more of his trash talking. From that point on I tried to run him down.

Finished the run at 6:07 pace- those first 3 slower miles of around 6:40-6:20 gave him the edge. I shoud have just ran up to the nine mile mark and finished hm off. Oh well he'll race every day so we'll meet again.

After the run I went to a 3 hour wrestling practice and then about an hour coaches meeting after that. By the time I got home I was done.

I've got a Suburban lined up for PHX. Do you still have those comp hotel rooms? How many people will they sleep?

If you have room in the Burban then I'll ride with yall. We have 2 rooms- each room has two beds and then also a pull out. So 3 beds per room. Then if there is more people we could have some sleeping beds. It's a pretty nice place with a FULL, nice, good breakfast.

We have the rooms the night before the race and the night after.

If you don't want to stay down there that last night after the race I will fly down and stay and use one of the rooms.

wow, that sounds great! Regarding the Suburban, I am renting it in PHX. There may be a group from Logan driving down, and if so, I'm sure there would be room for you to hop on, and I'm sure they would appreciate the extra gas money. As for me, I am flying. I haven't made reservations yet, but I plan on flying Southwest and getting in around noon Thursday if I can. I plan on leaving Sunday around noon, so there will definitely be at least a few people around to take advantage of the free room Sat night. Personally, I'm always wiped after these relays and it's nice to have a night to crash before going home.
