second set of 400s: 81, 83, 79, 82 seconds.

for the record, Logan drivers are idiots. I got cut off at 4 crosswalks today. first, some idiot talking on his cell phone went right thru the crosswalk on campus by the education building nearly hitting me. So I smacked his car, inviting a confrontation but he didn't stop (he slowed down, looked at me like "huh?", then kept going). then two cars turned left into crosswalks directly into my path from 1200 east on the way to the track. they never even look for pedestrians, they are either too stupid or busy talking on their stupid cell phones. then someone in la-la land stopped fully across the crosswalk at a stop sign while waiting for traffic. So I gave her a long dirty look as I went around the front of her car. don't even know if it registered with her that you don't stop your car on a crosswalk at a stop sign. that is how stupid drivers in Logan have become. it is hardly isolated, just an everyday occurrence. attentive driving is so hard these days.

OK now I feel better venting my frustrations. down with cars. I also broke in a new pair of shoes that I am considering wearing in Mesquite. Mizuno ronin, a fairly lightweight trainer/flat. Seems like a decent shoe. question is if I can go 26 miles in something with this little cushioning and heel support.

I think they are probably Idaho drivers who have strayed down south into Cache Valley:)

i agree. bad drivers everywhere. mostly distracted students. glad you weren't hit. nice workout too. what kind of time are you shooting for at mesquite?

Nice run today.

I've observed a notable increase in the type of driving behavior you're describing, over the last year or so. It's like planet earth is actually being taken over by zombies from another planet.

yes, the driving thing is becoming very annoying. what to do??

Allie, Mesquite... first goal is make it without getting the swine flu that 20% of the kids in my classes have. second goal is to have healthy calves. if (1) and (2)work out and the weather is good I would like to run a 2:50-2:55...but we will see.
