am: 3 mile walk. I like walking.

pm: 8.5 miles in 1:05. Wrapped up the right foot pretty well so it didn't bother me too much. Only a little soreness from the race yesterday.

We are on the road early tomorrow morning for a family road trip to San Francisco. I'll try to be consistent with my mileage.

Easy morning run but felt a little achy. Off to Alcatraz now! Will either stay somewhere along the coast tonight North of San Francisco or somewhere in wine country. We're just winging it.

Just have a second now... one of my best runs ever today.

A little of everything - road, trail, beach, across the Golden Gate Bridge and back. Lots of trails in the Presidio.Obviously stayed in San Francisco after the trip to Alcatraz - found a hotel for $70.00 which is pretty amazing. Did a whirlwind tour of SF today. Haight-Ashbury, Golden Gate Park, froze our #%!!@ off at Ocean Beach but the kids seemed oblivious and had a great time. But you can't go to California with the kids without it right?

Staying in Grass Valley Ca. tonight.Why? Because about 20 years ago I read the biography of famous test pilot Chuck Yeager and he lived here. First guy through the sound barrier.

Staying at the Holbrooke Hotel which has been in operation since 1861. Mark Twain and U.S. Grant both stayed here. Open mic night in the bar - might go sing with the band. Probably not though. I don't drink nearly enough for that anymore.

Made it home today after 600 plus miles of driving with two cranky and manic kids. Went to the gym tonight for a quick mental health run. Had to avoid the cold weather and high winds.

7 miles with 6 x 1/4 mile in 75 seconds interspersed throughout.

Great long run today and a great confidence builder leading up to Ogden. I ran 26 miles in 3:09:57. Generally around East Salt Lake and Sugarhouse and finishing up with several laps around Liberty Park.

No running today. Five miles on the eliptical this morning at the gym.

Lots of time facilitating neighborhood Easter Egg hunts this afternoon.

Plan to shoot for 90 miles or thereabouts this week.
