Basically the same run as yesterday up at Jeremy Ranch except I waited until 3 PM when it was 85 degrees to do it today. Hard, hot, dusty (lots of cars up there tearing up the dirt road - I have grit in my teeth). Ran the uphills pretty hard so I could get my heart rate up without too much stress on the legs. Don't really know how hard exactly as I did the run without a watch or Garmin.

I'm really knackered and my foot hurts but it feels good to run hard so I don't care too much.

AM: I'm going to credit myself with an hour of strength training this morning as it's yearbook day here at school and I spent about that long hefting and stacking heavy yearbook boxes. Plus the AC appears to be broken so it's extra hot.

No running today. This ends a 10 day streak which is a lot for me. I generally need a day off every week or two even when running slow and easy.

Seven miles in The Gully with my good buddy Steve Anderson. Steve was in the neighborhood after dropping of his son Bentley at the LDS church's Missionary Training Center in Provo to prepare to convert all the residents of Nashville Tennessee. Nashville is the HQ of the Southern Baptist Convention so it would be a bit like being a Baptist missionary in Provo.

Last day of school. Year seventeen is in the books. Cross country practice starts on Monday. Can't wait!

10.5 miles around Sugarhouse Park.

Exciting yard sale action at the Murphy house. Abby has decided to go into the hand made greeting card business and she has spent the last three days making cards to sell at our yard sale. It's making me a little sad that they aren't selling very well so now I'm having to go around the neighborhood asking people to buy them.
