am--5 My usual Orem route w/ 15 minutes of tempo. It felt easier than expected w/ the debauchery of the last 2 weeks.

I finished an interesting training book, Run Faster from the 5k to the Marathon: How to Be Your Own Best Coach by Brad Hudson and Matt Fitzgerald.

am--6.25 The old-school original Anasazi while listening to a podcast w/ John Vanderslice, one of my favorite lesser-known human beings.

I also finished 2 detective novels, The Shape of Water by Andrea Camilleri and The Dogs of Riga by Henning Mankell. These type of books are my guilty pleasure.
