Five easy miles plus a lot of snow-shoveling. A pretty good cross training workout.

Wrapped up my three week gig substitute Sunday School teaching today with the 2nd and 3rd graders. 

I had a great email exchange with a former runner of mine who has since become a good friend. Mostly about the future of the country and the fate of the Republican Party. It's always great to discuss serious issues with people who have thought deeply about important issues. Sometimes I get frustrated at the general low level of discourse in our country these days but then I have an exchange like the one I had today and I become more optimistic.

The biggest thing my friend Joah has going for him is that he actually bothered to get an education not just a piece of paper attesting to the fact that he spent four years regularly paying his tuition. He also thinks of education as it truly should be - a life-long process.

Five easy miles at the Utah Olympic Speed Skating Oval - "the fastest ice on earth".

Met Kramer there for his last real workout before Nike Southwest down in Mesa this Saturday.

He did 4 X 400 in 58, 58, 56, 55. He is ready.

Nice run around Sugarhouse Park in the dark. I'm glad I survived the carnage on I-15 this afternoon coming home from work. Must have been a record number of crashes along the 20 mile stretch from Alta High to Salt Lake. 

Heading to Arizona tomorrow afternoon for Nike Southwest.

Five miles in the afternoon sunshine here in Gilbert, AZ. Will run some more later on the course jog with Kramer.

PPM: 3.1 mile jog around the NXN Southwest course. Pancake flat, golf course, lots of fairway. Should be fast!
