AM - 10 miles. Started from Kevin's house (no, I didn't spend the night) and we went up City Creek. Looped by the Capitol to see what those liberal legislators were up to. Pretty nice run. Except for second ave death hill.

PM - 5 miles w/ 8 x 200m in ~35 seconds. I'd like to call that 5K effort, but right now its probably about my all-out 800m pace. Andrea also did her first track workout of the year - she walked from the car to the grass near the starting line, laid on the ground while I ran, then walked back. Threshold effort.

The real reason trail runners are skinny: http://www.theatlantic.com/health/archive/2013/05/study-why-pot-smokers-are-skinnier/275846/

Sounds like a bunch of bored researchers in Nebraska just wanted an excuse to get high!

Now that we've answered that question, what's the reason that they are slow? Zing! :-)

PS I tried some of that fancy juice you brought over. It was good. So between that and the Omega-swirl, I'm actually going to trust your judgement on liquids from now on. Except on coffee. Yuck.

mmm omega swirl.

Its great when you mix it 50/50 with Hershey syrup.

Pretty sure that answers the slow question too Jake.

Nice PM workout for both of you!

Nice afternoon workout for the crew. Have you gotten Andrea a puppy yet to help aid her recover?

Sprinting with a new and excited puppy may also improve your 200 times. :)

I've given the green light for the puppy. We're going to a wedding in Oregon over Memorial Day... after that, hopefully it will be puppy season! :-)

Jake, what a coincidence...My sister, who lives in Idaho, is also going to a wedding in Oregon over Memorial weekend. Who's wedding are you going to? Maybe it's the same one. You never know.

Its kind of hush-hush, but Mo and Galen are finally tying the knot :-)

Actually we're heading up there to see these two knuckleheads get hitched... even though I'm pretty sure they already went on their honeymoon...
