5 AM - six easy miles around Sugarhouse Park. Track meet this afternoon. I may not be able to get in more miles.

Just throwing this out there to put some pressure on myself. This afternoon I'm going to race the mile at the Alta vs. Pleasant Grove track meet. That's right, 45-year-old me against a bunch of high school tracksters.

4:57 1600 on the track. That was really fun. I wore spikes and everything. It brought back a lot of memories.

Nice! Kick those kid's butts! Wish I could get down to 145, but my diet of twinkies and coke won't allow it.

Would you be interested in joining a masters team for the Hood to Coast August 28th? They have a really fast team this year and are looking to win the masters division. I was invited to be on the team but now have to cancel because I just have way too much going on. They asked if I knew anybody else that could run under 6 min 10K pace.

Steve, don't know if you got my email or not. I'd be willing to talk to someone about the relay. Who else is on the team?

Great! They would be excited to have you. The organizer is Paul and here is his email. He can tell you who is on the team etc. and any details. I'll let himknow you'll be sending an email.
