Ran around the U and Sugarhouse in the blustery wind.  Fairly glad I didn't go out to Sacramento to run CIM today.  Forecast called for 20-25 mph winds and a half an inch of rain.

For those who didn't hear Gregg Popovich, the Spurs head coach, sent a few of his best players home rather than have them play against the Miami Heat at the end of a road trip.  As a result the NBA commissionner fined the team $250,000. Stern "concluded the Spurs did a disservice to the league and our fans."

Just for fun I got in a little debate with some NBA fans on ESPN.com. I should probably change my account name.

I had the grandiose idea of doing PT at the gym after work but didn't get to leave early enough. :(

3 miles on the treadmill (1 at 5:15), 40 minutes of basketball then a few more miles on the TM.  Running one direction and not having to shoot a ball is much easier.  I landed on my hip awkwardly but fortunately it was the good hip and I stretched a muscle in my hand.  No other injuries to note.  Except for not having any ankle support the Altra's actually stuck to the floor fairly well.

The stairmaster is about a break so I might need to start running again.

I went to a different gym and 7-Eleven today.  That was a pretty big deal.

Best of all the new gym has more than one stairmaster that works.

Another great run with a huge crew of ~33.  We started at the Orem soccer field, ran a 10 mile out and back on a flat path, regrouped, then ran another out and back up and down Provo Canyon.  At the 15 mile point we refueled with drinks dropped by Toni (thanks Toni!) and then did a few miles at marathon pace down the canyon.  Jake, Matt and I started together but Jake quickly pulled away.  Matt and I ended up with a couple miles at ~5:15 and one at around 5:20. Although I don't have the authority I am awarding Matt the Official Seal of Awesomeness for his efforts today. Jake, Scott, Justin, Brandon, Dan, Chad, Kevin, Toni, Matt and many more also ran strong. Next week will probably organize a run closer to that city we call Salt Lake.
