First run since Desnews.  Ran around Holladay and Millcreek with Andrea, Jake, Kevin, and Amiee joined us for a few on her bike.

My calves and hamstrings are still super tight and sore so it took several miles to feel half way normal.  I am glad this first run is out of the way because they will just start getting easier.  

Some cross training and PT at the gym afterwards.

Early morning bike ride around Austin, TX then perused the cool bikes at Lance's bike shop, Mellow Johnny's.  Austin seems like a cool town with lots of great trails and a big river.

Treadmill run with a new pair of Nike Free's which feel like slippers.  Not sure how my feet would hold up on the road but I like them for the treadmill.

JAJAAF run around Millcreek and Sugar House. It's been quite awhile since I attended this run and even longer since we have seen ACorn.

As Andrea and Jake have mentioned, there is a Jeremy Ranch run starting at 7:30 on Saturday. Come one, come all.

Doesn't this look fun?  T-minus 2 hours until game time.  Oh boy.

I got destroyed by the treadmill.  The incline last year was 10% and the winner (Max King) went about 2.15 miles in the 15 minutes.  This year the incline was raised to 15% but stupidly I went out at about the same pace as Max.  I basically blew up in the first half mile and ended up only running 1.4 miles.  It didn't help that I was in the first group to grow so I had no barometer for what pace to run.  I suspect Seth will do much better but Max King will probably win again.  At least I get to add my first VO2 Max miles for the year.  Miserable to say the least.

Ran with Scott, Justin, Jake, Andrea, Annie, Devra and Dan up at Jeremy Ranch.  I ended up going longer than I expected and felt relatively good.  There was tots of motivating "next race" and Olympics chatter.  I am looking forward to watching the men's 10k which means I need to get the lawn done asap.
