After a busy day of completing deliverables at work, I headed home and out for an evening run. While listening to my Jazz struggle against the Knicks (but still win the game and take over first place in the Mid-West division), I ran up to the Smith-Klin Chimney and back. On the return home, the wind was so bad (i.e., really dusty) that I ended up running part of the way backwards. In summary, I completed 4.7 miles at an easy pace.

In regards to my non-running workout, I completed 300 sit-ups and 30 push-ups.

All the top teams in the west are playing so well right now.

Especially your 8-wins-straight Suns! It's looking like the Jazz vs Suns season finale could be a huge game for playoff positioning. Happy running!

I've always wondered what that chimney was.

Hey Mark, I never knew the official name of this chimney until I started making it a point to run to (i.e., there are some interesting history plaques at its base). I actually have learned a lot about Salt Lake history since I started running and taking water breaks to read the various plaques around town. Also, excellent Running of the Leopards 5k time; that is, we were pretty close to each other in this one (with you having a faster first and third mile). Keep it up and you'll be running a sub-2:50 marathon in no time!
