After driveways, I had some time and my shoes, so I did a hard run on Bntfl. Blvd.  That road has plenty of hills.  I pushed hard the whole time, and got the miles in in 68 minutes.  That's a 7:15 pace, overall.  I'll count them as fast, since that pace is under my goal marathon pace.

I've got the week from hell coming up at work (preceded by two other weeks from hell), so I wanted to be sure to get a good run in before they start eating up 16 hours of my day. 

No ipod.  No garmin.  It was weird to listen to my scraping shoes and hard breathing for that long.  The temp was great, low 40's.  Air quality was pristine.  Too bad the valley view was mostly obstructed by poorly designed McMansions.

They are working me so long, I had to leave work in the middle to run for 6 miles through industrial parks in west Salt Lake.  The course is flat, very flat.  The dump smell wafted over me and soothed my tired mind.

Another work run in scenic sw Salt Lake.  Last night I left work at 11:15.  Tonight might be an all nighter...glad to get it in.  Now I'm so sweaty.

The week from hell at work is over.  I got home by 4, turned around and went to run.  Home to Parrish to Legacy to Pages home.  I was glad to see the eagles hadn't been chased by poorly designed homes.

Considering how much the last two weeks have worn me down, the run went pretty well.  I can't wait to sleep through a movie with the kids tonight.  7:28 pace for the run...exactly the marathon pace I need to keep to qualify for Boston.  7:28, 7:06, 7:19, 8:04 (I walked for a bit) 7:25, 7:26
