Better air today thankfully. The nasty effects of yesterday's run-in-the-gunk lasted through the day and night. I think I still even have a little aftertaste in my mouth today.

Today was a fun run with Kim. Maybe more fun for me than Kim because the plan was for her to do the same workout I did yesterday (5 x 1K @ 5K pace with 1 min active recovery) but at her pace, that we're thinking is around 8 min/mi. I thought this would be a challenging workout for her but she surprised me and seemed to hammer out the repeats without much discomfort. I think she should be able to run sub-25 at the Painter's 5K no problem.

I'll list her splits here for future reference:

1 - 4:55 (7:58/mi), 60s rest (11:16/mi)

2 - 4:55 (7:58), (11:10)

3 - 4:54 (7:58), (11:05)

4 - 4:49 (7:55), (11:14)

5 - 4:44 (7:39)

AP: 8:48, HR: 137/163.

Thanks Brent. Are you and Sylvie going down there this year?

Tom, we may go down this weekend to look at condos. Sylvie has a sinus issue and has not been able to run or workout much for a couple of months. I hope she gets better before the Salt Lake 1/2 and Ogden 1/2 - those are the next two races we have entered.

Have fun in the sun.

Brent we'll be down there this week and next, getting final preparation made so we're ready to rent out by the end of the month. I know you guys are looking on the east side, but if you happen to get over west we'd love to have you swing by and visit. 860 S Village Road, #H-10. Cell - 592-8081

...also Brent I hope the sunshine and clear air help Sylvie clear up those sinuses.

Tom, we will give you a call if we come down. It would be great to get your perspective on condos, etc. and see your condo.

Thanks
