Rob Murphy

AM: 2 miles on the "Trail through Time". Sore.

Woke up early in the hotel and had cold pizza in bed while watching the NY marathon. Delightful. Drove home after that but was able to make the first stop at Ray's Tavern in Green River for cheeseburgers along the way.

PM: Easy 4 miles while Andy was at the first day of wrestling practice.

PM: 8 miles, most of it in lane 8 of the Alta track. Cold and rainy.

PM: 7.25 miles in The Gully.

Thought about all the famous infrastructure projects in American history going back to Henry Clay's "American System" in the early 19th century and how many of them consisted of spending money on projects that wouldn't have been considered infrastructure a generation or two earlier.

Here's an interesting fact. The law that authorized the construction of our interstate highway system in the United States, the Federal Highways Act of 1956, only passed the senate by a vote of 41-39. The 39 who opposed it didn't like the price tag and associated tax increases.

PM: Once again, 8 miles in The Gully.

PM: More Gully long run. My go to now that Andy's wrestling practice has started.

AM: Jogged an easy 2 miles while Andy was at wrestling practice. Realized that I just have 2 more years of the every day parenting thing and reminded myself to be grateful for it.

PM: 9.3 miles on the Pipeline Trail in the afternon rather than watching the Jazz who really suck lately.
