Every Race is an Adventure!

Basketball (3 on 3 this morning).

Basketball game at 9:00 p.m. We had 11 show up. We lost by 2 points.

I definitely need to get more runs in, but with the weather being so cold it's nice to at least get some exercise running up and down the court.

I mailed in our team's registration for the Wasatch Back Relay (now called Ragnar Relay Wasatach Back) on Tuesday (early registration ends 1/31.) We're in the Submasters Male division this year (we have been a corporate team the previous three years). We've got a few new team members this year, but once again we have a great bunch of guys to run with and I can hardly wait.

I finally got some running in again today, even if it was on a treadmill:

Pace (min/mi)	Distance (miles)
8:30	0.5
8:00	0.5
7:30	4.0
cool down	0.25
Total
Avg 7:45	5.25

This wasn't a killer workout, but wasn't too easy either. The hardest part was the boredom of running on the treadmill.

Tom was finishing up on a stepping machine when I arrived. He looked like he had worked up a pretty good sweat. Cory was running on the treadmill next to me. His foot is still bothering him a little but he was excited to be running again and got in 5 miles at a pretty good pace. After I had showered and was leaving I saw Scott come in. He had put in a good run outside (tough guy). I found the treadmill to be extremely tedious today. I may follow Scott's lead and brave the cold next time.

Basketball again this morning (4 on 4). Great fun, though I missed my son Andrew being there. I think he is nursing the "dead leg" (thigh bruise?) he got on Tuesday morning. At Wednesday night's game he said it was bothering him. Kevin called last night about running on Saturday.

I ran 6.5 easy miles with Larry, Wayne, and Kevin. It was sunny but quite cold. We ran up to the mouth of Battle Creek Canyon and back. It's great to have great guys to run with. I don't know if I would have braved the cold alone. I know I wouldn't have enjoyed it as much.
