I did the run on the Jordan River Parkway.  Why? you ask?  Last night I got called on a last minute business trip to Tulsa OK.  I am on my way to the airport now to repair a LED Display that is malfunctioning out there.  Fun.  We came down (to SLC) last night and stayed with family over night.  I am crossing my fingers that I can get the issue resolved and get home.  Not excited about taking up residence in Oklahoma.

T-1:28:00 (6:31) 163 (170's during tempo)

8 Easy miles around Tulsa.  I found a large group of soccer fields with a dirt trail around it.  .8 miles long.  Perfect for running.  I did a bunch of laps.

Things are going well here.  I am on schedule to make my flight tomorrow at mid-day.  Knock on wood, but the problem is solved.  

AM: Easy 8 in Tulsa - Didn't have time for more. Turns out I did, but it would've had to be around the airport as I was stuck there most of the day.   Weather in Denver cancelled my flight and the next, and anything else remotely close to being an airplane to get me home.  So, it looks like I will be here again tomorrow as I couldn't get a flight until 5pm on Friday.

Nada - 

Stuck in Oklahoma until 5:20 pm flight to SLC.  Nasty weather.

Long run with Paul -

We waited until it was sunny and nice to go for a run and it was great.  I ran over to his place and then we ran up the TOU course until near the end of hollow road and back.  All of the miles were pretty brisk and I was pretty worn out by the end.  I dropped Paul off when he hit 15 miles and I added on to get 20.  I have never been so tired and hungry and thirsty at the same time.  Major fuel depletion.  We hit a few sub 6:30 miles and my last mile was 6:35.

  T- 2:16:50 (6:51) 160

P.S. It is sure nice to finally be home again.
