I didn't know what I was supposed to run today (and spent forever trying to find out yesterday, to no avail), so I just did what we did last week on Friday (AT). Since our hotel is in downtown SLC right by Pioneer Park, I thought it wiser to use the treadmill this morning. However, the treadmill I first used was crap. It shut off randomly during my warmup a couple of times, then after I stretched and started the first .5 easy and did .15 of the AT middle part, it shut off again. Argh! So, the lady using the other one let me use hers, since she was just walking on it anyway. When I got situated on that one, I just started on the AT part at 6:11/mi pace for the first 2 miles, then 6:03/mi pace on the 3rd. Then I cooled down .5 and was finally, thankfully, done. The AT part was pretty hard, especially since my legs were still tired from the race and such. And it seems, from other people's blogs, that we didn't even do AT today, so basically that sucks. And my shoes gave me a blister. (DST 249.2)

Hey Ruth,

Don't know if you will get this in time, but tomorrow me and the team are going for a run in milcreek. It's a really cool trail. We are running at 8:45. If you would like to join us you can call me at 815 1944 and I should be up by at least 7 but you can call even earlier than that if you need to.
