Welcome

At 9:45 on a cool morning, I ran to the West High track and around 12 times. Felt good this morning. Listened to my Elena Ferrante novel without headphones and it was nice. 45:30

From the office around the zoo down through yalecrest across guardsman around the football stadium (new turf is bright!) up through new parts of the U (to me at leat) across fort douglas and back. Nice and easy 58 minutes.

Trying out a new physical therapist tomorrow. I'm pretty sure my former guy was googling how to treat me.

At 1145 with temps in the low 60s, I did an emigration out and back from work. Felt warm with the sun. 745 pace with heart checks at 140 or so.

At 11:30 with temps in the low 60s, I warmed up along the BST for PT and strength training. 8:37 pace. Then did those things. I was chest pressing 100 today.

At 10 am, I ran from work down around the U. I ambled through the Game Day set up and it was all abuzz. Free cokes and cheese nips. 62 minutes total

Fritz reminded me yesterday that I'd signed up for a 5k with a free promotion he'd given me. My SI joint and lower back were bugging and I expected some trouble like the terrible Sugar House 5k I had done. The race went surprisingly well. I got out feeling like I was running pretty easy, never pushing the pace. The first two miles were faster than expected. 6:06 with 72 up and 26 down and then 5:55 with 90 down. The third mile I continued not to push and got a 6:35 with 78 up and 50 down. After the third mile clicked off, I finally pushed the pace going uphill and ran 5:35 pace to the finish with 33 up. Short cool down and I left before awards. Not sure if I got anything but Fritz will let me know at some point.

I warmed up 1.2 before the race and cooled down 1.2 after. 

1.48 miles from Rice Eccles to 11th Ave and V Street.
