Ran around Millcreek and managed to get in 1 mile on the track at the Highland. Weaving through and avoiding the student drivers was the most exciting part of the run. Averaged around 6:35 for the run with two 5:20ish miles.

PM: 1 mile cross training then hip exercises.

At the grocery store a women asked me if any good marathons were coming up because she noticed that I was wearing a running shirt. I told her that the SLC Marathon was a week from Saturday. A guy next to us heard my response and said, "So are they ruining the traffic again?" To that I said, "Once a year" and left it that. Funny how people get all bent out of shape when, for a few hours on ONE Saturday morning a year, they might get delayed for a few minutes on their way to the grocery stodre, hair dresser, home depot, gym, shopping mall, McDonalds or wherever else they might be going.

I should enter the race and just walk it as slowly as possible, ensuring traffic is blocked off for at least 8 hours!

james nearly got ran over by an old man at the ogden marathon last year who insisted that he was going to drive down the canyon. we told him he had to wait 15 minutes for a police escort, and he absolutely freaked out. i'm pretty sure he had nowhere to go, as he eventually screeched back down his driveway and went inside.

Maybe he doesn't read the newspaper or watch the news and didn't know about the race. Very unfortunate.

I hope James said something profane.

there were some profanities thrown around, but not from james. he just stuck out his hand and waved his GOAL foundation-issued orange flag. he also said "stop" with a very authoritative british accent.

ok good. That must be equally effective.
