PR on mile 19 of Hope to Hobble! 4:45! I was feeling a bit sluggish and tired after running low and slow for so long so I did a 1 mile pickup and holy smokes did that make the rest of the run go easier. It was a total rejuve. The rest of the run was great like usual, nice to change things up a bit. Of course I have killer long runs for the next three weeks with Nebo Half, Big Cottonwood Full, and high altitude training, so lots to look forward to.

Hey I just noticed I was .05 short of my all time weekly volume record! I am going to go run an eighth :)

Sounds like a fun run, Dave! Wow -- your mile 19 was smokin' fast! Nice work. You are in very good shape.

Thanks! Now if I can just figure out how to put 13 of those together next week life will be good. Or at least fast. I think I could have done another one though, it wasn't much past tempo if at all.

Dude I so am looking forward to see how everyone does down there. It's going to be awesome. I better not see you after mile 8, that's all I can say :)
