Felt a couple tweaks from yesterday so I chose the gym today. Then pent 2 hours cleaning gutters which was more exhausting.

12 easy miles around Millcreek and Sugar House. I might get an ear full today because I am the only Ute fan in a room of 13 people. Even more the reason the Utes have to beat BYU this weekend.

PM: 3 cross training and PT

10 miles in 59 minutes on the treadmill. 7,6,5:50,5:40,5:30,5:18,5:18,6,6,5:15

Run felt just ok but at least it got the heart rate up for bit in the middle of the week. 

Then 2 miles on the stairmaster.

Ran through Millcreek and Holladay.  It was almost cold enough to wear stretchy gloves.

At 7-Eleven you can show your support for the presidential candidate by buying a red Romney cup or a blue Obama cup. I have yet to see someone buy a blue cup.

PM: 4 cross training and pt at the gym

60 minutes on the treadmill and 12 minutes on the elliptical.

PM: 2.5 miles crosstraining and PT. The evening crowd have bigger muscles while the morning crowd are cardio folks.

I took a blue shirt to the gym accidentally so I had to make an extra trip home to swap it for red.

Good luck to everyone running the race tomorrow.

Ran from Wallsburg to Orem with Scott, Brandon, Matt and Brandon. Perfect morning for a run and a great crew to run with.  Started what was supposed to be a tempo at mile 10 but hamstring didn't like that so I backed off after 2 miles. Caught back up with Scott at mile 15 and everyone regrouped. I was planning to just jog it in but the hamstring loosened up a bit so I put in a few more quicker miles with Scott. After we slowed everything was going well until abruptly the lower part of my hamstring seized up and I came to a stop.  I thought I would have to call it day and get ride back but after some stretching I managed to gimp in for the last 2 miles.  I hate runs where I finish and know I did more harm than good.  So it's back to cross-training for several days to see if I can salvage my wussy hamstring.  

Brandon, Dan, Scott and Matt all looked great and even had the energy to tack on another mile while I anxiously was looking for TOU results.  Congrats to everyone who ran the race!  I look forward to reading the race reports.

Last but not least, GO UTES!
