No running for me today. Not sure what type of run I will get in tomorrow. Going to take my brother to a 10k race on Tuesday that starts at 6 a.m. I guess I am going to be his cheering section for the race. Then we can wait around to see the finish of the Marathon. On the 10k they are having a high school competition, which will be Utah athletes vs. USA High School runners. Should be interesting as there are some fas runners signed up. Looking forward to my next race in September and hoping to be ready to run fast. It is a down hill course, so it should be fast fun. Have a great day and keep up the great running.

Well, I guess I felt a bit like overachieving today
or something because I didn't run my scheduled 12 miles,
no. I ran 20. With a 1 minute pause after 12.6 miles, to get
a drink, stretch my hamstrings a little, and redo my ponytail,
I headed off again for another 17.4 miles. I finished in just
under 2:40, and boy am I feeling it now. My legs are sore!

So I guess it went pretty well vashondan, thanks for your support!

Mom Your sense of energy sounds about like mine!
It's go go go all the time! I just can't imagine how you do it
with four boys on top of your daily schedule...Way to go!

Hello all, just resurfacing after a hectic vacation week. And now as my reward I get to go back to work tomorrow -- early, no less, for an all day meeting which precludes any chance for a midday run.

As Apple predicted I didn't get a whole lot of miles logged, basically a short run last Monday, indoor soccer Tuesday and that was it until my big soccer tournament over the weekend. In between it was a painting project which grew into some additional electrical work. Now the week is gone and we're still not done, which means we'll just have to peck away at it on weeknights when we can. We'll get there eventually.

We did get away for one night, up to Philly for the Police concert. Definitely worth the trip even at $65 a ticket.

As for the soccer tournament, I entered my main team, Capitol Crew in the Columbia Classic (www.columbiasoccer.com) and we ended up doing pretty well. We finished second in our group and moved on to the quarterfinals before being eliminated. Obvously we would love to have gone further but that's the best result we've had since we started going there, and something to build on as we head into fall league play -- should be a real confidence builder. The three off days I ended up having during the week actually seemed to help a bit, almost like a little taper, on Saturday as I had lots of energy and speed to burn. But in today's matches it caught up to me a bit and I was pretty tired.

Anyway, it's now back to normal life, or at least a normal running schedule, I think. Easy run tomorrow, probably about 8 or so.

Hope everyone's had a good week. I'll have to catch up on everyone's stories later. Right now, I'm exhausted.
