Worst air quality in the nation!!!  At least we are number 1 at something.  Off to the treadmill.  All the new year's resolutions are enjoying machines, but not late in the evening.  I stared at the brick wall while listening to Muse and watching ESPN talk about Big Mac's steroid admission...high quality gym time.  Weather has a storm coming on Wednesday & Thursday.  I hope it's true.  I want to get outside.  I want to see the valley.

I had a running dream last night.  I was running a marathon, chip timed.  For some reason, I waited about an hour after the race started to begin running.  I was alone until about mile 11 or 12, when I started catching people.  The people at the aid stations were confused why I was so behind the pack, but running relatively fast.  By mile 13, I was getting pretty tired, and DW's voice from the tv in the other room woke me up. 

I think this dream indicates some ambivalence about participating in the Ogden Marathon.  Not so much that, but completing the requisite training...Or I shouldn't have eated that bowl of Oh's at 12:30 in the morning.

4 tm miles.  Hills, level 6, 7.5 mph.  My son shot hoops the whole time, but really stood around chatting people up.

AQ was good enough for an outside run.  I skipped work today, so I didn't even have to run in the dark.  I'm typing from my new keyboard...Ah,  all the gratification today.

Mueller Canyon to North Canyon via Rudy Flats.  The trail was nice, except for the middle section between Elephant Rock and Rudy Flats.  What a brutal slog, sinking in to the knee or thigh on frequent random steps.  Those miles were at a 25 minute pace.  Overall run time was 2:40, I'm told, since I was too stupid to push the button on my GPS.  Good times I hope to never repeat, at least until trail conditions improve.  Thanks to Matt for the invite, I think...
