Epic failure so far today. I planned to get up early and get in a nice 12-15 mile run. Instead, while sitting downstairs drinking my coffee and eating my bowl of Wheaties, I stumbled upon the Band of Brothers marathon on Spike. Been sitting here ever since.

I love this movie.

Finally overcame my sloth and did a nice 16 mile run - or 15.5 plus a few fast striders at the end to see if I could run fast on tired legs. Started at my house, around Sugarhouse Park a couple times, dropped down to Liberty Park and around there a few times. Ann and the kids met me there and drove me home.

I made it onto page one of the annual mileage board for the first time this year!

Plan for the rest of the day...

1. Sit in the hot tub for a while. I know some people prefer ice baths, but I like hot tubs. Call me crazy.

2. Watch more Band of Brothers marathon.

3. Accomplish something.

Very cool, coincidentally my wife actually gave me the box set of Band of Brothers for Christmas..

That is pretty cool. While I was running I was actually thinking that I need to run by Best Buy or something and get it.

We have the box set of that series Rob - Tracy and I love it. Interestingly, my girls now have sat and watched it start to finish as well. Good stuff!

16 + hot tub = something accomplished

I was going to say, "FRB entry = something accomplished"

I just vacuumed the house while Ann was at the gym - mission accomplished!
