A.M. - Morning treadmill run down at the Life Centre. I thought this morning's workout, and the day in general, was going to be disaster because I couldn't fall asleep for the life of me. Not sure why exactly. I didn't eat anything out the ordinary. Had some good exercise Tuesday. Probably work stress more than anything. After tossing and turning, I may have ended up with 2 hours sleep, if I was lucky. Surprisingly, the run and the day went better than expected:
5 minutes @ 9.5 mph, flat 5 mins @ 10.0, flat 15 mins @ 10.5, flat 35 mins @ 11.0, flat
P.M. - My sister-in-law and her family are in town visiting from Arizona, so my wife's side of the family wanted to do a dinner picnic in the canyons. I convinced them to go to Tanners Flat up Little Cottonwood so that I could squeeze in a ride and meet up with them. I came home from work and rode my bike to the end of the paved road at Alta and then back down to Tanners Flat to meet up with them. As a side note, up at Alta I saw what appeared to be a HS cross country team. Rob Murphy, was that you and your Alta boys? I couldn't tell.
Beautiful afternoon to be in the canyon with the kids and family. The sun was still out enough when it was time to go. So I hoped on my bike and coasted home down the hill. This will probably be the last ride until after the race on Saturday. |
