Many loops around Liberty Park with Dan, Anthony, Patrick, Evan and Collin. A few guys ended early so Patrick, Evan and I went over to the Parkway to add on.

My legs didn't feel as tired as expected. ~7:10 pace

Casual run through the U, Research Park, past the zoo and back along Wasatch. Averaged ~7:20. Apparently I timed it well but the weather was perfect for the run and now it is a white out.

Slowly but surely I am learning to ease off on these slow runs and I am feeling a lot better. I also think I am becoming more accustomed to running more consistently.

Today is bittersweet because after just over 6 years I am leaving Overstock! I never dreamed I would work here this long.

As odd as it sounds the one thing I might miss the most is stopping at the 7-Eleven on 45th every day. If you have ever met Tami, the best employee ever, you will know.

What I won't miss: <200 emails a day, daily drama (you have to work here to know what I mean), 6 hours of meetings every day...and a few other things I will have to write after I leave :)

What I will miss: nice view from the office (next office will be in a warehouse), ~15-20 of my friends, the Keurig...

Met James, Noah and James for a track workout but ended up running 8x800 in Sugarhouse Park because the HHS track was covered with snow, yes snow. I wouldn't even call it a workout because my legs felt crappy from the beginning and only kept up with Noah and Nate for the first few.

Observations from the first drive to the new job:

1. More traffic and big trucks to navigate but takes less time to get there

2. A 7 Eleven and Beans & Brew are very close by. The 7 Eleven just needs wooden stir sticks and Tamy to work there and it will be the same.

Back to my roots. 10 miles on treadmill and 2.5 on stairstepper. I had on my tights and long sleeve shirt so it got a bit warm. Just trying to prepare for a potential Boston heat wave.

Long run on the JRP in Riverton with a good group: Scott, Mike, Justin, Nate H., Nate B., and Chris. Easy 10K to the north and then a tempo back to the car. We then tacked on about seven out and back to the south.

10K tempo averaged around 5:45 into a headwind. Total run averaged 6:35. This was the longest run in a few months I feel good about that.
