Seven on the treadmill. Worked up to 6:30 pace for a while. Hot tub out of commission for 2nd straight day. Sadness.

Eight miles in the dark around the neighborhood. The thought has entered my mind lately that I should ramp things up for no particular reason. Things are about to get hectic around here for the next few months so I suppose I should just to keep an even keel. I guess that's a reason.

I wore compression socks with split shorts. Something I'm not willing to do in the daylight. One advantage of standard time.

Great run with my boys in the gully today. Averaged 7:43 for 8.5 miles. 

This is a great video about Rob Krar, depression, and the Grand Canyon.

6.25 miles treadmilling.

I've managed to be fairly consistent this week. A decent 12 to 15 miles tomorrow should cap off a good week.

12.5 miles on the JRP. 7:40 average.

So there's this article on ESPN.com right now about how the worlds #1 badmitton player failed a doping test. The comment thread is a lot more interesting than the actual article (as is often the case). The best one...

"I've always told people that a sport isn't a sport unless you can cheat with PED's. Congratulations badmitton, you're officially a sport".
