Total Distance

3.24

Treadmill hill miles. Used the Hills program and it was a good workout, with a base incline of 5.5 going up to a max of 11.1. Started at 5.3 speed, and after 5 minutes moved up to a 6.0 for the rest of the time. Feeling tired today, probably from the cross country skiing yesterday using different muscles. I had a great nap Sunday but erased the benefits by staying up too late and starting my week sleep deprived. It's a constant cycle. Looking forward to my 30K in 5 weeks.

Russ, which 30K?

The Red Mountain 50/30K in Ivins near St. George. It's on the 23rd, just a few days after Boston. I haven't visited my folks since they moved to St. George a couple years ago and our kids have 5 days off school so figured it was a good time for a 14 hour drive.

...if there is such a thing as a good time for a 14 hour drive. Feel free to stop in Centerville. With enough planning, we could feed you or something.

Exactly. Not really looking forward to the drive. We might try to start at dusk and drive through the night so unless you or Tammy want to cook us breakfast at 3 AM I'm guessing we'll be seeing you next at the class of '91 reunion. :) Thanks for the offer - it would be great to see you guys.

We may not see you at the reunion. Tami is due that same week, so we may have to consider the early morning breakfast.
