First day of summer!

Abby had a sleepover last night and Ann had to teach a class down in Daybreak at the U hospital down there so Andy and I did a 3 mile walk with a little running. I'll give myself a mile.

I think I've decided to run this race in Minnesota the week before Grandma's.

Noon: 11 miles around Sugar House Park in 1:05:20. Ran the first and last miles in 8 minutes and the middle miles in the low to mid sixes. Warm.

Liked my new Saucony Fast Twitches and my new Garmin Forerunner 15. Nothing like some new gear for motivation.

Pleased to see my fellow Furman Paladin, U.S. soccer star Clint Dempsey, on the cover of my new Outside Magazine!!!

Bring on the heat! Always makes me feel a little more blue collar and never let's me forget I'm working hard...love long summer runs on heat advisory days where we're instructed to stay inside.

1:05:20?

Yeah… that's a typo Wesley. I'm going to leave it because it looks impressive
