Wheeler Farm Loops

AM - 12 miles w/ Andrea (bike).

PM - 5 miles w/ the biker again.

You know how sometimes its annoying when those stupid Garmins measure a course wrong? Well, thanks to the most fantastic birthday present ever from Allie and James, I'll never have to worry about that again. I'm not sure if they developed it themselves or stole a prototype Fast Running Friend from Sasha, but this baby is legit. Its got 4 CPUs, 3-D holograms that show you where you are relative to the 1, 5, 8, and 10 minute guys, and it never runs out of battery because its powered by a sixth generation arc reactor that would make Tony Stark jealous. 

It said I ran 100 meters in front of our condo in 9.2 seconds so I don't even need to calibrate it! :-) 

AM - 12 miles.

PM - 8 miles.

Did some short accelerations this morning towards the end of the run. Did the same on Saturday as well. Part of Andrea's progressive rehab plan. So far, so good.

AM - 13 miles. Dimple Dell, mostly on the horse trails with a little road extension to the mouth of LCC at the top. Probably the first time I've ever broken 7:00 pace in the gully... there have definitely been gully runs where 90 minutes only yielded 10-11 miles :-)

PM - 3 miles in Fremont, CA before Andrea's appt. Surgery is a go for tomorrow morning. I really hope this is the end of the injury road for her... it's been a tough 9 months for her. She's done everything right the whole time, so it's time for some relief... and to get off the DL and back to kicking @$$

AM - 13 miles. Loops on the dirt trail around the lake in Fremont Central Park while Andrea was having surgery. They wouldn't let me scrub in! Convenient to have a nice park right next to the surgical center. Dr. Brown called me to let me know he was done... I was a little over a mile away at that point so I picked it up (5:17 for the last mile) on the way back to see my girl! She is doing well right now.

PM - 4 miles. Half-mile laps around our hotel. Wanted to stay close just in case.

AM - 10 miles. Just ran some neighborhood loops near our hotel in Fremont and found a dirt road that paralleled the railroad tracks, so did a few miles there as well. That will be all for today... flying back to SLC tonight will be quite a challenge. At midnight I would have said it was going to be impossible, but Andrea is doing a lot better now. Huge improvement from last night.

AM - 12 miles.

PM - 5 miles.

Andrea posted (well, dictated while I typed) her surgery report. Interesting stuff, but don't look at the pics if you have a weak stomach! 

AM - 17.5 miles. Ran from home up to SHP and met Kevin, Adam H, and Jon Kotter. We ran a Holladay loop (~10 miles) and the a lap around the park on the grass. Adam and Kevin stopped at that point, and Jon kept going with me back home. Nice run, beautiful out today!

PM - 4.5 miles.

9AM @ Highland tomorrow morning if anyone wants to join us for a run.
