Ventured onto to the road wearing running shoes for the first time in more than a week.  After one mile I ran into Jake who I was running his most direct (only 7.5 miles) route to work.  Ran with him to Sunnyside, looped back to SHP for a lap then back home.  No serious damage done for the 2nd day in a row!

I am not a big soccer fan but this shot by Messi is undeniably impressive.  Go to 46 seconds into the video.  The teams ended in a tie yet Real Madrid still won the Spanish Super Goal Cup championship because of an "away goals rule".  Oh, that's why I don't like soccer.

Good to "see" that you're pounding the pavement.

I didn't understand the soccer rule about away goals either, but I asked a soccer aficionado friend and he said it was to encourage offensive play at away game because teams would play more defensively placing less emphasis on winning. Good thing the same rules do no apply to running.

Amazing free kick! Thanks for the share.

Fritz-

A quick question for you. What do you think about the Big Cottonwood Marathon vs. St. George? I didn't draw out to get into St. George originally and had been planning on running Big Cottonwood. I just found out that I can probably get in the St. George if I would like.

If you liked that free kick you should find Ronaldo's goal from the same game. He flips the ball over his head with the back of his foot on a full run and then scores. Pretty Awesome!

Good that you are running again Fritz! Nice vid!
