Two treadmill miles plus some strength training at Steiner while Abby swam. Took it easy today. I have 16 days off and I have it in the back of my mind that I want to run 200 miles over that time.

You are a sick individual, Rob.

How about a 30 miler on Monday afternoon?

Allie - thanks, and good luck to you too. We'll see how close I get.

Steve - OK, and I think I know the perfect course if you are talking about here in Salt Lake.

Yep, I get into Salt Lake about noon or so, so it isn't an drive at all. Man, it's a hard time of year to get these runs done.

Just looking at the mile idea in March, I have a thought of hitting three events. Why don't we set up a team? Even if it's only two, six events could score pretty good. Do you know how the team scoring works?

I reviewed times and they are fast. A mile would take about 4:23, an 800 about 1:58.
