| AM: 5 miles at Liberty Park including 6 striders.
Then spent the rest of the day (so far) fighting with Andy about his online school work he's not doing.

| AM: 9.3 miles on the Pipeline Trail. I had planned to go 15 but my legs were just feeling dead. I blame the striders.
I've been trying to feel optimistic about this whole situation but there's this underlying funk, kind of a persistent sadness, that's creeping in. Need to think of a way to shake up the routine a little bit without violating any of our new social norms.
Had a good afternoon. Andy and I drove up Parley's Canyon towards Park City, stopped at the Jeremy Ranch Store and got a Pizza Hut Pizza and a some Tru-Moo. Then we drove around the mountains for a while listenening to the sequel to Hatchet by Gary Paulsen. The River I think. Descended Emmigration Canyon (which actually should be called Immigration Canyon) and ended up at Highland High where Andy drove for the first time on the drivers ed range. He did a great job.

| AM: Ran the Gully Long Run twice. First time I've done that in at least 2 or 3 years. It was a little warmer and I was feeling pretty depleted by the end.
PM: Went to the Highland High track with Andy and put him through a little workout. Then rented 1917 from the Red Box. Andy made pizza and now we're watching the movie.

| First truly perfect day of spring weatherwise. Cherry trees are blooming.
AM: 4 laps around Liberty Park plus 6 long striders. If you want to convince yourself of the value of striders, don't do them for a long time and then start back up. The easiest way to feel like a real runner again. So, about 6.5 at the park.
When I got home I made Andy jog up to the Red Box with me to return the movie from last night. So another 1.5

Received word today that the school closure will extend until the end of the year.

| So today I wandered around lane 8 on the Alta track with a foray into the surrounding neighborhood for a total of 10k. Dang if my left achilles wasn't aching a bit at the end. Need to exercise caution.
100 push-ups/100 sit-ups.

This was one of those runs where it was cold at the beginning but warmed up alot so I was wearing my nifty, fairly new Patagonia running jacket that my mom got me for my birthday. When the run was over it was very wet so I laid it on a rock to dry while I did a little cool down. After the cool down I forgot the jacket and headed back down the canyon. Remembered it about 10 minutes later and turned around to get it. Of course it was gone which is a good reminder that people suck and Rob Murphy can't have nice things so it's a good thing that I never got rich.

Helped a man find his lost Jack Russell Terrior. Ran almost a half mile with the pooch under my arm.

| Maybe my best training run in a couple years.
Half mile warm-up, 8 miles in 57:51 around the Sugar House Park road loop, half mile cool-down.
Splits: 7:52, 7:34, 7:27, 7:10, 7:00, 7:17, 6:51, 6:38
I had to spend the last couple days completely vacating my classroom. You can accumulate a lot of crap in 18 years! Andy came and helped out with the packing and pitching. Now the room looks like nobody lives there :-( They are doing major construction and remodeling at Alta High and with no students they are getting a jump on what they were going to do over the summer.

Now a day of grading online school work and wrangling Andy into doing his school work. I'm tempted to say that if you don't have an academically unmotivated child at home, you haven't fully experienced all the joys that this unique time in our history has to offer. Congratulations to all of you that raised motivated children. I should have consulted with you all before I began this child rearing process.

| AM: Pipeline Trail plus a lap around the block to make an even 10. Right knee acting up - the pains just rorate around my body from the hips down, fortunately never settling in one place for too long.

I'm thinking about running my own personal 5k race in the next few days. Might even try to recruit a much faster pacer.
