Spanish Fork, UT 6:30 am

Pace: 8:40

Working in Utah this week, so I ran to the office. It was really windy starting out (in Spanish Fork, go figure) but calmed down by the time I got into Mapleton. Felt pretty good, a little stiff in the hamstring. Then at about the 9 mile mark I started feeling a sharp pain in my right hamstring. That is where a smart person would stop running and put some ice on it. But, since I'm not a smart person I kept running another mile or so. Luckily it worked itself out and feels fine now.

When I got to work my wife wasn't there yet. Apparently she didn't have the snooze feature on her cell phone figured out. So I waited on the lawn and watched ducks for a half hour. Can't complain about that.

On the way out this morning, my aim was a little off on the iPod, so instead of clicking on the "Running" playlist, I clicked down to the "Slow" playlist. So, today's surprise song of the day is ...
