9.5 on the treadmill at Steiner. Started out at 7 mph and worked my way up to 10 mph over 65 minutes. Felt pretty good. I know I need to do some fast 400 and 200 meter intervals, but it takes me more than two days to recover from a hard 10k.

Our Valentine's "date" consisted of breakfast at Ruth's Diner up in Emmigration Canyon after the kids went to school. I have a really good wife.

My "date" was me and my 2 year old daughter running errands, since my wife left town.

I'm surprised you didn't decide to do at least 1 trail race this year, after our Grand Canyon adventure.

Hey Jon - sent you a detailed email on that subject. Any advice would be appreciated.
