** On a side note: While I was doing homework last night I was semi-tuned into the news that was on FOX 13. I usually don't watch that channel when it comes to news, last night was a prime example why. I didn't catch all of the details, but apparently some restaurant owner (or someone) was taken hostage somewhere around Milcreek canyon. The guy who was held hostage was driving while the criminal had a gun. To the guy's credit he ran his truck into a police station to get someone's attention. Here's the part that just kills me, the news lady then proceeded to ask the guy reporter telling the story: "I wonder why he ran into the police building, didn't he have a cell phone with him?" ARE YOU KIDDING ME?????

(How was that, Burt?)

Love my thursday runs with Fly. Needless to say, I am going to call the route we ran today, "Dang Fly, We Should Have Turned Around Quite Some Time Ago Loop!!!!!"

I was planning on our normal 7-10 mile run, but Mark had other plans! :)

Started at Morris Meadow's trail head followed the Bonneville Shoreline Trail to the Dry Gulch then the Red Butte Loop then back. I did fine until about mile 10 at which point I felt like I had been hit by a bus. What's up with that? I even had to walk for a bit a few times. Dang.

I am presently starving ... I know candy bars aren't good for me ... but I am eating the ones left over from Halloween. I don't care!!! :)

** A special thanks to Fly for being so patient with me. I could tell that he had the energy to leave me in the dust, but he was kind not to! I appreciated that, as I would have certainly been lost!!  :)

5 recovery miles (high 9s)

30 minutes upright bike

Iliopsoas release with the tension ball. It was tight after yesterday's run with Fly. But feels great now! :) 

** On a side note, Costco is selling Dave's Gourmet Butternut Squash pasta sauce. Delish! :)

Too big of a baby to run City Creek in the wind with the group today. Slept in and hit the gym. This is my highest running mileage week ever (61 miles). I was pleasantly surprised with how good I felt. Started out easy and increased the pace with each mile. Hit the last 1.5 miles hard to bring the overall pace under 8. Not sure why I did that, but that's what I did. :)
