I finally did something that could be called a workout. But I didn't like it.

Walked up to the gym.

Ran a 1.25 mile warm-up on the treadmill.

Ran 6.25 miles in 36:30

Mile cool down

Walked home

It was really humid. My clothes were soaked after the run. Reminded me of the old days back in Florida.

10.25 hilly trail miles in The Gully. Heavy rains in Sandy last night meant that the sandy portions of the trail were more packed down than usual and, hence, faster. Ran winth my top Sophomore, Kraemer Morton. Always a good sign when a wee lad can hang with me on a 10 miler.

First time I've used "hence" in a blog post.

PM: 8.25 miles on the treadmill.

Went to the eye doctor today and, as I suspected, I'm blind. So, starting next week I'll be sportin some fine new horn rims. Remember the kid in The Sandlot who faked drowning so he could get mouth to mouth from Wendy Peffercorn? That's what they look like.

I'm taking a rest day today. First day back at school and everything is going well. We have a new principal who is making a good first impression despite his extreme youth.

Thirteen incredibly awesome miles on the trails at Alta. Always my favorite run and, as we approach late August, I get sad thinking about how I will have to soon give up those trails to 500 inches of snow.

10.5 miles in the Gully and along Dimple Dell Road with Tyler Ross. So, about half road, half trail.

It's going to be really hot today. 87 at 10:30 this morning.
