No running today.

Felt like I needed a day off. Getting ready to take the kids to Jump Around Utah with the church group.

I registered for the North Face 50 mile championship race in San Francisco in January. I'm not sure what I was thinking but I did the "elite entry" thing. I'm not even sure what that means. One thing I learned is that it does NOT mean "free entry".

Anyway, me, Jon Allen, and about 15 intimidating sounding folks from around the world currently comprise the "elite" field. I guess I should train.

12.25 miles in 1:30. Threw in 5 x 3 minutes on two minutes off just for grins. Averaged 5:40 pace for the hard efforts. This was all on the road loop in Sugarhouse.

Just not feeling it this week. I did get my hair cut today which helped a little. Long hair makes me feel slow - I'm not kidding about that.

Need to drop three or four pounds before Boston. This will help me far more than any one magic workout will.

Nice day. 60, sunny, not too much wind.

Eleven miles around Sugarhouse and the HH track in 1:21. Feeling achy and it won't go away.

Ran into "Smokin'" Jake Krong at the track breaking in his new spikes with some fast 200s.

Some random thoughts on meat loaf...

So my wife went to Sunflower Market today and bought a meat loaf. Sunflower Marked is sort of a poor man's Whole Foods. Anyway, they have prepared meat loaf's in their deli and all you have to do is plop them in the oven and serve.

I had high hopes for this meat loaf and was thoroughly disappointed. It was borderline gross - not nearly as good as the meat loaf's Ann lovingly prepares herself. The weird thing about it is that I couldn't identify one specific thing I found distasteful about this particular meat loaf.

Made me think that perhaps meat loaf is a deeply personal thing and it's just hard to accept anyone else's version.

Four miles plus weights. Did quite a few lunges so I will be sore tomorrow.

Knees hurt.

Ten miles in 1:15 with my good buddy Steve Anderson who won the Leopard Run 5k this morning.

47.5 miles for the week!

Nice night. Went to The Pie for pizza with Jake, Steve and his girls, Adam (Acorn) and his girlfriend Jen. Lots of great runner geek conversation. Watching Oh Brother Where art Thou? with Ann. Possibly my favorite movie. I swear every line in the whole movie is better than the previous one and it starts out great.
