Really beautiful day here in sunny Utah. Low 50s and absolutely perfect for running. If I wasn't a little achy from yesterday's race I could easily have run for 3 hours. As it was, I had to settle for an hour around Sugarhouse Park zig-zagging around the many thousands of runners, bikers, walkers, dogs...on second thought, maybe it is nice to have some typical winter weather so I can have MY park to MYSELF.

No school tomorrow so I should be able to get in a good, quality day. I will be running the mile and the 3000 meters at the USATF Masters Indoor Championships in ABQ ( 3 letter airport code for the city in New Mexico that I could spell if I wanted to, but am way, way, way too lazy to sit here at my computer and type out that ridiculously long name).

So, I will be reducing my mileage and training like a middle distance runner for a couple weeks to se if I can avoid complete embarassment.

Also walked 3 miles today.

Albuquerque, there, I did it for you. Thought I'd check in and see how a fast guy recovers.

sounds like fun to race those middle distances. good luck with the training.

i was in SP for a bit today too -- it was a circus. i forgot that we have so many humans and dogs on this planet. the emptiness of the park over the past few months led me to believe that both species were extinct.

I didn't realize Sugarhouse Park had an airport code. I think it should be SHP though, most are 3 letters.

That's where the Google "Did you mean..." comes in handy...

Allie - I really want to go to that link but it keeps giving me the "oops it's broken" message.
