I started out on a pavement pounding run around Sugar House after i got home from work. Felt a painful twinge in my left knee that felt a little worse than your average little ache. Decided to bail on the run. Went to the gym for 4.25 miles of elliptickle fun.

The Sugar House 24 Hour Fitness is not my favorite place at 6 pm.

Fish tacos for dinner!

6.5 mile fartlek on the treadmill.

Watched Into the Wild with Abby tonight. I loved the book, liked the movie, and I still listen to the Eddie Vedder soundtrack every now and then. So I'm thrilled that she'll be reading the book in her English class this year. I wish I had English teachers like that when I was in high school.

I'll give myself a mile for running around the West Jordan Soccer Complex during the cross country meet.

The Utah National Guard has more AH-64 Apache heliocopters than many small nations. I feel safe.

Out 4 miles on the Jeremy Ranch Road to Mormon Flat, then west on the trail (Mormon/California/Pony Express) 3 miles. Then back for a total of 14 miles.

I ran with several of my cross country boys plus Jake. We saw 3 mooses, a red tailed hawk, and an otter.

Abby ran 11. Longest run ever!
