17.5 (2:12:30) miles in a chilly rain on the Jordan River Parkway. Ran generally easy but over the last few miles I alternated hard/easy 400s. The hard efforts were 80 to 85 seconds. First seventy mile week in a while which is pretty much where I will top out this year. There are few things I know for certain in this world, but one is that I can't handle much over 70 mpw for an extended period. The good news is that my body doesn't seem to need much more for the times I want to run. Here's something I was wondering today. Why is it that cities and towns in Utah often put the word "city" after their name? For example, "Sandy City". I obviously understand it when the word is actually part of the name as in Kansas City or Salt Lake City. I never heard of Anaheim City or San Diego City when I was growing up. Is this just one on Utah's many endearing little quirks?
