I have five cute kids. And I have some rockin short green racing shorts- I wear them mainly because it embarrasses my wife so much.

And I used to run for the now-disbanded national Team Pearl Izumi- Ultra!

AM- 7. I changed vans to work effective today. The new van leaves 40 minutes later which means A) I can extend my morning range to 11-12 miles, B) I can sleep in a few minutes and still get my 6-7 miles, or (my personal favorite) C) I can sleep in till 5:50 am and not run! Yeah- more sleep is good. Although I imagine doing C will make getting up at 4:05 to do option A that much harder...

PM- Wanted to run some trails. Ran 8 miles on Green Canyon. No snow for the first 1.5 miles, then just a few patches till 2.5 miles. The rest of the way to the top was slow going with lots of snow. It was packed enough that I didn't sink past my ankle, but sometimes what appeared to be snow was just slush over a stream- always a good foot-wetting experience. Up at 8:30-11:00 pace (yes, running uphill in the snow is very slow), down at 7:40-6:00 pace (yes, much faster). Then, I dropped by Planet Fitness for pizza night!!! Ate 2 pieces of pizza, ran 2 miles, ate another piece (while running), 2 more miles, then 2 more pieces. Yummy. I get some funny looks since I am running the fastest of anyone there AND am eating pizza at the same time. It's a talent, I guess.

hey I dont log in for a week or so and they change the colors on the blog.

Getting up at 4AM is insane. but with the heat coming on it may be the best time to run.

Hey- they drained the stupid USU pool. So now what do I do??

Sleep in.

Actually, I do most of my running at 5 pm. AKA, the hottest time of the day. Yup, I'm not too bright, plus I don't have a choice.

You of the iron stomach!

Great running the last 2 days, getting those morning runs in...good job.

Hopefully the new van arrangement will work out better. Does this mean you get home later as well now?

Yes, I get home around 5 pm. So I leave 45 minutes later in the morning and get home 25 minutes later- plus it's a newer and nice van, and is cheaper. I think it was a good move.

So I guess that proves that pizza is really fast food. I know really bad joke.
