Morning run with Kim for 6 miles then a few more solo. Pretty much uneventful, no Prehistoric Monster sightings :).

Legs feeling pretty good after the hard run yesterday. I was also happy the foot blisters from yesterday didn't bother me, however the lower abdominal muscle strain was a bit uncomfortable at times. I need to watch this closely. Kim had no knee troubles so that was a good thing. Now off to SLC all day for Novell Brainshare conference. Yahoo.

It was good to get the run out of the way this morning. I'm glad there were no prehistoric monster sightings. I hope they are fewer and farther between all the time. Don't share too much of your brain today...save a bit for yourself.

Tom, good workout! I have never been to a brain conference. Is a brain required to attend one? Maybe thats why, I have not been!

Your training has been great. I don't think that there is anyway that I will be able to keep up with you at Striders. Are you running any spring marathons?

From Tom on Tue, Mar 18, 2008 at 21:26:43

Andy - no plans for the spring marathon despite alot of peer pressure as of late to do it. In between Striders and Ogden Marathon we'll be doing a family vacation and a few other things where I don't want to be worrying about 20+ milers. I was actually looking forward to a bit of a break from intense training after Striders and just work on base for a few weeks before gearing up for heavy duty St. George training and a possible sub-2:50
