I took a zero today as I am majorly sore from the weights and the 200s yesterday.

Seven easy miles on the treadmill in about 50 minutes. Very little soreness remaining, but my legs felt lifeless. The portions of the run where I incresaed the pace to over 9 mph and the grade to 2.5 percent were a minor struggle.

am: 6.25 easy miles around Sugarhouse Park. Nice morning, calm and low 30s.I'm getting excited for the Austin Half Marathon this Sunday. Maybe even more excited for the sunny, 70 degree weather.

pm: Basically the same run as this morning only a little faster and with some fast striders thrown in. 6.25 in 45 minutes.

5.5 miles including 5 x 1/2 mile with a 1/4 mile jog in between. Splits were...

2:43, 2:41, 2:39, 2:37, 2:35

Wore my nifty new Brooks eco friendly green racing flats. They are called the "Green Silence". Not only did I feel fast, but also superior to those of you still wearing the old fashioned shoes that destroy the planet.

Another easy run around Austin with my buddy Joah at who's house I'm staying this weekend. Threw in 3 1-2 minute efforts at 5:30 pace. Felt really good.

Had a little bit of a scare yesterday at the packet pick-up. The race is sold out and they didn't have any Rob Murphys from Salt Lake City registered. After about a half hour of trying to resolve this, they figured out that I was actually Rob "Nurphy" from Salt Lake City. Don't know if it was my error when registering or theirs, but I was glad to get it fixed. 

Race starts at 6:45 tomorrow morning (5:45 Utah time). Weather looks good, drove the course some yesterday and it's pretty fast.

Now I'm off to the Lyndon Johnson Presidential Library at UT. History geek stuff combined with running!
