Sixteen mountainous miles up at Alta.

Marathon training you know. One week. Time to get serious about training!

PM: Took Andy to Jump Around Utah. I bounced a lot. Should count as some kind of cross training or plyometric workout.

Eight miles on the treadmill. Worked up to "marathon pace" the last couple miles. Short swim after.

Andy and I are going to the Bee's game tonight. It is the 20th anniversary of the movie The Sandlot which was filmed here in Salt Lake. They are going to have several of the kids from the movie there who are now in their early 30s and they are going to show the movie after the game.

Sadly, Wendy Peffercorn will not be there.

Today I reluctantly ran the Draper Days 5k and surprisingly ran my best 5k in almost two years. 17:34 with nice, consistent splits and a decent kick. Went out fast but not reckless, never got passed, and passed several runners over the last mile. This is the first time I have run Draper Days - surprising because it's a mainstay on the USATF Circuit and always has one of the fastest fields around.

This is a big confidence boost for me going into Des News on Wednesday.

All hail the bower of the beet! I drank beet juice before the race after reading about its performance enhancing benefits for the past couple years. All that I am I owe to beet juice and hard training.

Late AM: 2.25 mile walk. Hot!
