Run fast

Ran along the highway near Lava Hot Springs. That place is actually pretty cool, i.e. bingo for money, pool tabs, plenty of hot water, and restaurants that stay open until 11.  Utah seriously needs to consider making Bingo legal. 

Stairmaster, rowing and PT at the gym.  Since there is only one operable stairmaster at the gym Rob and I had to coordinate our schedules so we didn't overlap.  I arrived right after he finished but fortunately he was nice enough to wipe off the machine.

For PT I did leg curls, clam shells, AIS, and squats.  I hate squats. 

Sasha's new mile converter looks pretty cool.  Now I don't need to remember that a marathon is 26.21875 miles. 

Merry Christmas everyone! We couldn't ask for a more beautiful Christmas morning for a tranquil run. I ran from my house to the gate in Millcreek Canyon then ran on the snow for about a mile.  I think the total climb was about 1,800 ft. which made me a little tired.  Averaged about 7:20 for the run.  Everything is flat where I am going in southern cal so it was good to get some climbing in.  I wore my Salomon SpeedCross 3s for the first time because they have lots of tread. They are perfect trail shoes.

Arrived in Palm Spring last night then drove to the Safari Park in San Diego this morning. Since I knew I would be on my feet all day and my hamstring was still store from Tuesday I did a hard crosstraining session for an hour instead of running. The Safari Park was basically a huge zoo limited to safari/African animals and the animals were generally kept in a larger spaces more similar to their natural habitats. 

Easy warm up before the big golf game.  I am putting the over/under at 85 since I haven't played since September 2011.
