AM - 17 miles. Its borderline of whether I can even call this a morning run, since I didn't get started until after 11am. I was planning on running Jeremy Ranch today, but when I woke up (after sleeping for nearly 11 hours... yep!) I saw that it was snowing in Park City and didn't feel like dealing with that. So I did a major kitchen/bathroom cleaning spree (which should count as cross training), then headed out when a weather window appeared to open, although I still ended up getting caught in a few cold rain showers. Ran one of my favorite loops - down to the base of Big Cottonwood Canyon via Holladay Blvd and then back home along Wasatch Blvd. Kept the pace super easy the whole time, just wanted ~2 hrs on my feet and some good hills. No fast finish today... I did enough fast running yesterday. 

The sun better come out tomorrow so I can wear my USA flag split shorts! 

PM - 5.5 miles.

Ended up hitting more miles than anticipated this week... but the quality of the workouts didn't suffer at all. I've had a nice progressive buildup since Boston - 62, 81, 99, 108, 117, 131... on my run last night I had a feeling in my legs (and mind) that is hard to describe but when you get it, you know good things are coming. Its time to catch fire.

You actually have a pair of those shorts? You better not be kidding Jake I want to see pictures.

Great solo LR this morning.

I saw the tropical storm bout to hit the Fl/GA coast.

Hope Andrea can get home without too much trouble.

Yeah me too. Tybee Island is right in the storm track, the girls she is with appear to be idiots, and she left her cell phone charger here, so I can't get in touch with her easily b/c her phone is dead. Needless to say I'll be happy to hear when she makes it to Knoxville.

I hope you got to wear your patriotic shorts today. I also hope Andrea makes it home safely. Nice mileage!!!
