AM - 7.5 around Sugarhouse Park. Would have gone longer, but I had to get Abby to gymnastics. Will try to add a few more miles this afternoon. Probably at Liberty. My legs could stand a break from the hills and pavement.

PM - 10 miles in 1:15. Ran from home along the Salt Lake Half Marathon to Liberty Park and then around the wood chip trail until I got to 10. Ann baby jogged with Andy (he's four but we still squeeze him in the thing) and Abby rode her bike. Met them at the playground when I was done. Went to Cafe Rio on the way home.

This next week I'll back the mileage down a bit, take a rest day or two, and focus on quality. I hope to run a really fast time at the Leopard run next Saturday - a 5k that is a gradual downhill pretty much the whole way with a finish on the East High track.
