Good run on the track today, I decided I needed to step up my game and get a new Garmin, my old one died sometime back and I've been running aimlessly for about 4 months now.  It was nice to have something to track my laps instead of trying to remember them.  I can't get my new watch to sync up with my Mac yet but average lap time was about 1:22 which on this track is 8:30 pace.  So I'm obviously still way out of shape but at least now I have a way to see how fast I'm going on the track.

My wife and I run a Lego Robot team for Traverse Mountain Elementry school.  This is our first year and our kids took 3rd Place and get to go to the U for the State Championship on the 25th.  Pretty awesome.  Here is the awesome Robot that got us there.

I'm feeling a bit icky today but still managed to force myself through another 37 laps, I found my lost ipod shuffle last night so I finally got to run to music again, I think that helped me get through it. 

1:19 avg lap = 8:10 avg pace.  Last lap in :57.

I wasn't really even thinking about it but Britt wanted to go run the BigHorn 30K again in June, it was sold out but yesterday they opened a wait list.  I signed both Britt and I up for the 30K, it came back and said we are in but I'm not sure if we are just on a waiting list or not.  I considered signing up for the 50M again to try and go get revenge, but I think being ready for that by then is a bit optomistic.

Just not feeling well this morning.  It was my son's birthday yesterday so we went to Hangtime and jumped around on Trampolines for 2 hours which kicked my butt, I'm to old to be doing back flips in to foam pits but I did it anyway.  Then we ate Pizza Pie Cafe and birthday cake so I was just trashed this morning.  Gave up on my run after 2 miles and settled for 30 minutes of elliptical and weights.
