My plans to run on Saturday were washed away...too rainy.

Ran 14 miles after church today. Nothing very note-worthy. This is the longest run I've done since Boston on 4/20. It felt pretty good. Though I've gained a couple pounds, I haven't lost much fitness. (HR was good for the pace). AP: 7:52

It was a beautiful day. 71 degrees, low humidity, light winds..ah..

I'm having fun reading everyone's Ogden race reports.

Our first morning workout. Ran with Jo and Eric before work. Jogged the 1.6 miles to the local track. Decided when we got there to run 400 M repeats. (or are they intervals?) Ran 6 x 400M with 200M walk in between. 

Fastest was #6(last): 76 seconds

Avg lap: 82 seconds (~ 5:30/mi)

The weather was perfect. About 55 degrees, no wind. Would have been a good day for a race. :)

HAPPY NATIONAL EMPLOYEE HEALTH & FITNESS DAY            

Today is National Employee Health & Fitness Day, so be sure to take advantage of any wellness offerings that your company provides.
Founded in 1989, National Employee Health & Fitness Day has enlisted tens of thousands of participants from employers around the world.
Worksite wellness activities have been demonstrated to benefit not only the individual employee but the company as well. Since many of us spend the majority of our waking hours at work, it makes sense to incorporate health and fitness into our work cultures.

I'll be participating in the 1 mile walk around the Ft Worth Motorola Facility at 11AM.

Hill repeats w/ Jo and Eric. 

Jogged the 1.5 miles to "the hill". Did 5 "fast ups", "jog downs".

Splits (.15 miles up hill): 0:51 (5:38/mi), 0:54 (5:52), 0:53 (5:38), 0:47 (5:17), 0:57(6:25)

60 degrees, no wind, low humidity, nice running weather. Great way to start the day!

 Still trying to figure out the logistics of running Steamboat, CO on June 7th. Entire family+dog? Just me and wife? Drive/fly? Just me? Stay home (save long trip for SGM)? I need to figure out pretty soon what we're going to do.
