Easy miles on JRP at lunch. I ran to the ATM for some cash. Then ran back to work. 

This is my first blog post in how long? I'll have to see how it (blogging again) goes.

EZ on JRP @ lunch.

Maybe I stopped blogging because my posts got too monotonous?

Hah! Mine were pretty boring...I quit because I was no longer fast, nor running. Trying to rekindle the passion...not feeling it yet, and don't want to drag others down with me. Between a new job, facebook, basketball games, math meets, and a lonely wife...I might not blog very often. :)

Mine are pretty monotonous, too. But I found that it still motivates me to workout when I post entries on this site.

It's good to see that you're still running.

JRP. Ran to the bank and back at lunch.

Ran to school for a meeting. Ran home with a short detour up City Creek.

I'm really enjoying listening to Spare Parts. A book about illegal immigrants from an Arizona highschool who kick MITs but in a robotics competition.

A lunch meeting got in the way of my planned dreadmill recovery run. :(   (Recovery from Sunday's skiing)

5 miles on the dreadmill. A "streangth" training run program, what ever that means. 

About 2 1/2 weeks left of inversion season. How dirty will the air get?

Hey look at that, you are actually posting runs again. I like the photo. Were you snorkeling? And where?

Bad air quality is making this a dreadmill week.  :( 

Picked the "ramp" program.

More drugery on the dreadmill. Hope this bad air blows out of here soon.

Sorry about the disgusting air! Nice job on the dreadmill this week though! Lots of pretty rocks in SG. A couple decent libraries as well. Sure your family doesn't want to move here? :-)

From fly on the Wall on Mon, Feb 15, 2016 at 21:09:31 from 97.126.147.34

Not sure about relocation but my family and I are there often. My mother-in-law has lived in Bloomington since 1974.

From Teena Marie on Fri, Feb 19, 2016 at 12:26:09 from 166.170.5.66

Bloomington is SO close to me!!!! Let me know next time you are down. We would love to have you and your family over!

Well heck. I got in to St. George. I guess that means I need to actually train... Train to finish at least.

Are you going to do St Geo 2018????

From fly on the Wall on Wed, Mar 21, 2018 at 14:37:11 from 168.180.63.59

Yes sir, I do believe I will.

From Tom Slick on Wed, Mar 21, 2018 at 14:54:23 from 66.87.126.88

Cool, we’ll see you there.

From fly on the Wall on Wed, Mar 21, 2018 at 15:26:01 from 168.180.63.59

That would be great. Is anyone organizing a group meet up?

From Tom Slick on Wed, Mar 21, 2018 at 15:39:27 from 66.87.126.88

I think this is the first that anyone has even thought about a group meeting, let alone who’s going this October!

From fly on the Wall on Wed, Mar 21, 2018 at 15:44:55 from 168.180.63.59

Well I think it is great that you're on top of it and organizing a meet! ;)

From Tom Slick on Wed, Mar 21, 2018 at 16:12:44 from 66.87.126.88

I’ll work on it.
