Finally finished a portion of a stressful project at work that has occupied me 7 days a week for 4 weeks and decided I needed a break tonight. I also decided that it was time to make up my mind whether I would run the Ogden Half Marathon (even as a training run) or not.  

So - ran 1 mile warmup with the dog and then headed to the gym.  I ran 12.3 miles more on the treadmill. I didn't die at the end so I will approach the Odgen Half as a training run that might potentially turn into a PR effort halfway through if I am feeling good.

Good stretching. Good food.  Now on to my second job.

Very tired tonight. My trainer pushed me hard with lots of lower body dipping and balances exercises. Then I decided to try a spinning class for the first time ever (very painful on the feet in Five Fingers).  Finally - 3.5 miles with the dog. I need a nap.

Got a last minute invite to the Real game, so ran the 2.5 miles there, met my nephew and watched the game, then ran the 2.5 miles home.

45 minute workout full body in the evening.
