Alright, well I am sitting here in Portage, Indiana awaiting the BYU vs ND game tomorrow. Dad and I met in ATL and flew here yesterday afternoon. We will go into Chicago today and spend the day checking things out. Then on Saturday head into South Bend and hopefully see the Cougs take care of the Irish. I just saw the Irish will be without one of their stud defensive linemen for the rest of the season, so hopefully that will bode well for our run game!

Last year we were here for the game and found a nice little gym that let us in for free since I was with the military. That is an awfully nice perk when traveling. I can almost always find a gym that will let me in for free if I show my ID card.  So I got on the treadmill and took care of business. I am still getting used to treadmill running again, but things went pretty well. It is SO windy right now!

  8:35   8:12   8:00   3:29 (.5 mile)   = Not sure what that averaged breaks down to, 8:15(?)  My average heart rate was 167BPM

I was slow on the first mile since I started it and was fiddling with the controls, TV option and music. Then settled in and tried to increase speed each mile. I hit the last half mile with a 6:58 pace. I kept the incline at 2.0.
