7.8 mile run this morning around the basic GS loop. I've been very unmotivated lately and just focused today on  trying to enjoy running and possibly having a hamstring that didn't hurt. I'll give this a 7 out of 10 on both accounts. 

6.2 mile run this evening on the treadmill. For some reason the machine sounded kind of fun this evening. It ended up being a good choice. I settled into a nice smooth pace and the legs kind of felt the flow a little for  a while.

I made a bold move today with my running career. Steven A. L. Hooper and others down here have been using a fair amount of peer pressure on me to run the Squaw Peak 50 miler in June.... long story short. The Circle of Trust and Steven and Cam all signed up for it today. This can be a new chapter for me. Good or bad we will find out and yes I'm well aware of the risks.

Wait, wait- you signed up for Squaw Peak? Who else- Hooper, Logan, Holt? Who is Cam? What are you doing to train for it? I was considering doing that one but think I will do Wahsatch Steeplechase instead this year.

Jon- Yes to all of those. Cam is a ultra guy who lives down here and ran Squaw last year.

You Logan guys should jump on with us and try it too. I'm not sure on how we will train for it. I'm guessing after the first of the year we will start doing some more of that type of training.

That type of training meaning trails and long, long runs? That is one advantage you have- I can't train on trails till at least May.
