VIVA

Here is what happened in vegas:

Up at 7 for a three miler.

Good family time with good brothers and parents and nephews and nieces.

Then exposed the kids to a bit of the wild life. Yes, tongue in cheek.

Ceasars and mirage was about all we had time for.

Then a 6 and a half hour drive making it an even 1000 mile weekend by automobile.

Kids actually slept the last few hours - its a miracle!!

I guess that didn't stay in vegas.

Drive

3hrs 20 min to Roy. Snow. 1 hr 20 min home. 6 hrs 20 minutes to Vegas.

Oh of course I slapped out a mile with the dog right before we left. I guess I didn't do twoadays in April. Oh well.

I do have a new nephew today though. Hooray!!

Sock*

Just the other day I was thinking about how long it had been since I had to put an asterisk by a title. But look at the picture. And that is why you don't run in expensive socks;)

6.8 miles on the way home from another school day. Backwards run from March 26.

And what was up with friz today? I was pathetic out there. Oh well, rough day.

Swimming with the kid at parents night was cool, though.

Windy jeans

They used to call me that in boy scouts. Ok not really, but they could have. Hit the trail after class and took the long way home. Walked for a long time then realized I wasn't going to make it to the next class on time. So in the words of Mr. Gump: I was running. Jeans, backpack, wind. Beautiful. I ran at least a mile and walked another 2 if I had to guess-which I do. I'm going to count it as a deuce, therefor satisfying my secondary goal of 2 minimum in April.

And what is this pic all about. Not normal.

Steep

Ran it backwards. 4.5 miles. see march 21st. Such amazing weather! Also some frizzers at lunch of course. See the trail going straight up the hill? Awesome.

Productive

Emptied the dishwasher, brought in the paper

Got a burrito for me and a cookies for myself and Mike

Passed a test

Got a new windshield

Got a safety inspection (finally) and oil change

Post office -Mailed a packet to IRS

Ran for a bit over an hour with Mr. Sean and his torn tendon. Awesome trail run: 5 and a deuce (or 5.7, like the top end of a normal HbA1c)

Bought groceries, ate, went to class.

Cashed a couple checks at the bank - saw Leroy there.

Got a massage - shhh!

Showed up here in time for dinner.

Now some homework and off to bed (I hope).

Conference Run

Is that ok?

Got a call and cut it off at 4 miles even. sub 8s. Felt great. Cold, windy. Storm blowing in. Shoulda probably been studying. Better go study now.

Good way to kick of April, I reckon.
