Total Distance

8.00

8 TM miles at home. Finished Clash of the Titans. Good flick to run to. Lots of action, not so much dialogue.

1% incline, started at 6 mph for a bit then 6.5 for a stretch, then 7.0 for a couple miles, then needed to get finished so 7.5 for the last 4 1/2 miles. Gray shirts are fun to wear when TM running as you get to see your sweat afterwards. I had full back sweat, some belly sweat, and front & back neck sweat. And the headband was a 4 wringer after.

Legs are feeling appropriately sore. Not overly tired, but well used. I'm getting excited about April.

Thanks for the movie critique.

What in April? :-)

SL marathon has much better potential for you than the Desnews, russ. Temps should be great; hopefully it isn't rainy.

allie, thank you!

Christie, good point about the back-to-back runs. Sometimes I forget that.

IJR, I'm here for you. You want to know if a movie is a good TM movie? I'm your guy. April is my 41st birthday. Can't wait. :)

Kam, I have the same thoughts on temps for SLC versus DesNews. I'll even take the rain over the hot weather but prefer 50 degrees with no wind. I've put in my weather order so hopefully it's accepted.
