10.25 miles in 1:14:30. I managed to get out early which I love to do on Sunday mornings. No traffic, very quiet. With no immediate race on the horizon, I'm enjoying the easy runs with no real purpose other than my own enjoyment and to keep from getting fat.

After church this morning I'll probably take the kids up to Park City to escape the heat.

Furman lost to South Carolina 39-19. Managed to keep it fairly respectable I think. On the bright side, the Utes crushed New Mexico and Florida State crushed BYU.

There aren't any BYU fans on this blog are there?

Rough day so far today. Woke up this morning not feeling good at all. Barely got myself dressed and out the door for cross country practice at 5:45. As soon as I got out of the car I spent about five minutes throwing up in the parking lot here at school (good thing I keep a toothbrush and toothpaste in my desk drawer!). Decided to bag the morning run. Skipped the am faculty meeting too. Instead, I went into the school nurses office (actually, the room where the school nurse would be if we had one here in Utah, which we don't. Expensive you know). There is a cot in there and I fell asleep for about an hour and a half. Woke up feeling much better, but unsure of my surroundings. Drove to a convenience store and got some gatorade and managed to keep it down along with a banana.

Feeling a little better now. Gave the kids and essay to write so I don't have to exert myself.

Topic: "George Washington was our most pear-shaped founder. Discuss the significance of this fact."

Still not feeling so good. Managed three miles with the team this morning though. It was in the high 40s this morning but I was still clammy and sweaty. Just generally lethargic. I really hope to feel better this afternoon.

Oh, and something I have to share. I got a new car last night - a HYBRID Honda Insight. Did I mention it's a HYBRID? Part of owning a HYBRID is feeling superior about it. My new HYBRID really contributes to my feeling of self worth because it just says awesome things about me as a person and places me on a higher moral plane.

PM: went to gym after a short cross country practice. 1.25 mile warm-up on the treadmill. Weights

7.75 miles in 58 minutes while Abby was at swim practice. I really wanted to get 12 or 13 in today, but time just got away from me today.

Up at 2 am tomorrow to take my team to Boise for the Bob Firman Invitational. We are sharing a charter bus with Bill Cobler's East High team. Should be a long day, but fun.
