Mile repeats today on the Highland High track. I ran 5:25, 5:20. 5:18 with a 400 meter walk/jog recovery in between. Pretty tough after yesterday's run.

Republicans here in Utah ousted Senator Bob Bennett today essentially for being too liberal. Democrats forced congressman Jim Matheson into a primary because he's too conservative. So we are forcing both parties to the extremes. I may move my family to a state where sanity is more common. Any suggestions?

Thanks Steve. I was actually having second thoughts about interjecting politics on to the running blog.
