8 miles around Sugar House. Achy.

PM: Walked up to the gym and lifted for a half hour. Then I walked over to Barnes and Noble and read Chris McDougall. Pretty good - fuses running, fitness, and WW-II - all things I like. Then I met Ann at Fiddlers Elbow for dinner.

AM: 2 mile walk.

PM: 8.25 miles at Liberty Park after track practice (my team ran great!). Ran the last mile in 5:44. No kidding.

Then went to Andy's baseball game. He works so hard at it. Smashburger with the whole family after. A fun night.

6 miles and some weights/core/strength training in the Alta weight room.

Track meet now...

So, yeah, a tiring day. I'm getting a little bit older I've concluded. I used to knock out days like this with no problem. 

Instead of grading papers or planning lessons during my 4th period prep, I ran a couple miles on the track and then went to the weight room. I lifted hard - maybe over did it. Then I went out to the meet we were hosting against Copper Hills. I did a little warm-up and stepped into the 3200. As usual, I ran the first 3 laps or so with my girls and then gradually increased the pace each lap. I finished in 12:12.

Decent day...

10 miles on the treadmill. Finished up at 6:30 pace the last couple miles.

It was supposed to be a busy night but Andy's baseball game got rained out so we had some time to kill. Ann is with Abby way out in Kearns at a swim meet all night (not rained out as its indoors) so Andy and I went to Barnes and Noble and got a new Star Wars Lego set as a reward for him getting a 100 on his spelling test and not being a delinquent in school this week. Then we went to Sugar House Park on the way home and sprinted up the big hill five times. He won 4 out of 5.

Now we're watching Sponge Bob  and putting together "Clone Troopers vs. Droidekas".
