My legs felt good this morning, but I decided that I needed to make sure that I was all caught up on sleep. Church meetings started at 6:00 a.m. yesterday morning and even though I was able to get in a nap before our block started, there were times during the day that I felt quite drowsy. Sleeping in this morning, put me a little bit late for work and some heavier than normal traffic. Just a few minutes after clearing the congestion by turning onto I-215, a black SUV cut in front of me driving around 100 mph. There was a UHP officer giving a ticket to someone on the side of the road and when he saw that guy go by, he just ran to his car and jumped in. About two seconds later, another UHP car goes screaming by on my left, followed a few seconds later by another and then all heck (family-safe term substituted) broke loose as more than a dozen police cars flew by in a couple of seconds. For at least another minute or two, the police cars kept coming. When I turned on the radio to KSL they said the guy they were after had apparently killed a guard up at the University Medical Center and had carjacked the SUV. By the time I was ready to turn off the freeway on 35th south, they said that they had caught up with him at an Arby's on 17th South and Redwood (that was a lot of ground to cover in just such a short amount of time). This is the KSL link to the story:

I still need to add an entry for the WBR, but I wanted to look over my Garmin log before doing so.
