We left the BYU invite today about 10:30am because it had rained like crazy all morning and we didn't want kids getting sick or hurt.  I did watch the boys 3200 where Hayden and Steve ran very well.

I went out on my own for five miles on a loop up by the Temple.  The wind was a pretty strong North wind but no rain at the time.  As I turned North by the Temple I turned in front a woman heading the same direction.  I didn't think anything about her keeping up and kept running at a decent pace into the wind.  When I turned around I realized that she had stuck right behind me for about a mile, I was surprised!  When I passed her she told me "Good Pace"!  Well that got my shorts in a bunch real quick.  It sucks bad enough to lose all of my fitness and not be able to get it back yet, and then have some lady tell me I was doing good eventhough she was keeping up with me.  She had no clue who she was talking to, and how dare she belittle my pace and treat me like I was some 3:20 guy and act like she was some Olympic champion.  The audacity!  Anyway it made me mad enough that I through down a couple 6 minute miles at the end of my run.  I have never been passed by a girl on a training run, and will never be, as long as the old sexies are still able to turn over.

I also went to the gym and lifted upper and lower body.  I am trashed today, but it feels good.
