PM: 7.25 in The Gully. It was a struggle much of the way and I'm becoming more aware that my running now is mostly about managing the decline. Not that I don't find a certain amount of chalenge in that and I'm definitely not depressed about it but In my mind is still the knowledge of what it feels like to be a young punk of 45.

Good to be out on the trails on a nice spring day. Off to watch Andy and the Alta Hawks play baseball now.

Good reminder that I generally need 24 hours between runs. Running in the evening and then the next morning is hard and I've spend the day being sore and tired.

PM: 7.5 miles in The Gully with Jake. It was great having company, seemed easier than normal not fucusing on my aches and pains. Talked about Jake's impending fatherhood and me running a 50 mile race.

Went to the Alta weight room after and did some core and strength training.

PM: I ran 5 miles with Andy on the Jordan River Parkway. Had a good conversation with him about the massacre of 19 small children and two teachers by a kid just a little older than him in Texas. He's pretty clued into things.

PM: 10 miles on the trails above Jeremy Ranch. It was kinda hard.

Had graduation today at the Huntsman Center and it was more subdued than most graduations. Aside from a teacher work day tomorrow, I'm done for the year.

Summer plans...

Andy and I are driving down to Anaheim Saturday to catch an Angels game at the Big A. Might show him arounf my old stomping grounds.

We signed Andy up for an Outward Bound expedition for much of June. He's doing the 15 day "Southwest Adventure" which is a river rafting/kayaking trip down the Colorado plus lots of backpacking and wilderness adventure. We drop him off in Grand Junction for that around June3/4

I have an AP teachers class in Minneapolis the last week in June. After that I'll be attending Blake Bennion's wedding in Denver on July 3.

Nothing much on the schedule after that. Probably lots of American Legion baseball for Andy and hopefully a couple 2 day trips to the mountains to cool off.
