Rest Day.

I head off to Michigan early tomorrow morning.

Gave a talk today on agency based upon how agency can relate to being a marathoner (now I have a few more people wanting to know about marathons :) )

I ran a hilly route this morning since I don't think there are a lot of hills near the hotel we will be staying at in Michigan.

Legs felt good. I was overdressed for the weather since I had tights on (my running capris are packed because they are expecting snow in Detroit). I missed my usual light setup since it is also packed - but had a backup headlamp I could use.

Ran 5.25 miles this morning. 13:05 11:08 10:59 11:42 12:08

It was cold and dark out this morning. I ran at 6:30. It was easier to run because of altitude (lack of), but not easy to see where I was going - so I was slow. I found a trail along the freeway and ran on it - but had to try and watch for potholes and broken branches and my headlamp wasn't too bright in the darkness (plus I was a bit worried about boogey men). I was glad to find the bike trail because there are no sidewalks or shoulders on the road and I was having to hop off of the curbs onto grass as each car came.

The run out was pretty nice, when I headed back - I ran into a nasty headwind (kind of like St. George). It was 33 degrees out - but about 24 with windchill. (My boss thinks I am nuts).

The puppies were just born! Yorkies. 1 boy and 3 girls.

Didn't want to - but dragged myself out of bed and ran this morning. The wind wasn't quite as bad today. On my return my shoulders were stiffening up from cold. But I saw a runny babbit hippity hopping down the bunny trail.

I went the other way on the freeway path today and my turnaround point was behind a Little Caesar's factory. I about lost the breakfast I hadn't eaten from the smell. It's a good thing I don't eat Little Caesar's anymore.

Later - when we got finished working today it was nice and sunny (but cold) out. My boss decided to take a nap and I ran another 4.2 miles.

Marion organized a run in Lehi today on the Jordan River Parkway Trail. It was nice to meet a few somewhat familiar names and start putting faces and personalities with them. Leslie, Marion and I (with Harold on a bike as our bodyguard) were the official run sweepers.

Miles: 12:06/12:46/12:10/13:58 (uphill fun)/14:28 (more uphill fun)/13:18/12:34/13:12/11:53/11:15 (Thanks to Scott talking with me and pushing me on).

Hopefully I don't miss names. We had JonA, John, Wendy, Marion, Leslie, Harold, Kelli, Scott, Teena, Britta, Smooth, and Tarzan.
