After watching my Jazz lose a disappointing game to the Suns last night (they still need to improve their transition defense),  I did some major sleeping in this morning especially since the game did not end until 1:30 am EST.  Consequently, I had a late breakfast and headed down to the MAC (Maryland Athletic Club) at the Inner Harbor and hit the treadmill.  After a half mile warm-up, I ran for mile at marathon pace, a quarter mile at threshold pace followed by 2.05 miles at a marathon pace.  Overall, a nice 3.8-mile run at a 6:58 minutes-per-mile pace.

Also, late in the afternoon, I headed out for a mile jog around Stadium Place (i.e., the old site of the Memorial Coliseum where the Orioles and Colts once played--a park, YMCA, and apartment complex are now on this lot) to finish my third consecutive day of tapering for the Marines Corps Marathon.

For my daily non-running workout, I was able to get in 300 sit-ups and 30 push-ups.

Sorry my Suns whooped up on the Jazz, but if it makes you feel better, they are really struggling to close games out. They hung with the Blazers and the Lakers until the last quarter where both teams just ran away with it.

Burt, I know this is why I stayed until 1:30 am because I was thinking your Suns might let my Jazz back in the game (no such luck). Keep up the running!
