You get out what you put in

Sun - some soreness but biked to disc golf and played the course, more people than I've ever seen, skipped around and shot pretty well, 2m run, bike 2.5m

Mon - ran to course and played, 3.5m

Tue - went on a 50 min long run taking canal roads, ran to end of Bangerter and crossed it, sat on the wall for a while and ran home, then ball, won a lot cuz Joe was shooting lights out being guarded by Bob (old and slow and talk), a little drained 5m medium hard

Wed - more sore than I've felt in a long time, should have ran it out but didn't

Thu - still feeling sore but played ball with Wendell's crew, granddaughter and two boys, just being the smart semi-athletic effective one

Fri - ran to Janet's house for lunch, really windy, never got into a rhythm, needed to run more to feel that, 4.5m

Sat - awesome 3 sport episode, biked to 6200 S, still a glitch in the bearings, dropped off bike at Methodist church, ran around to Jr. High and Valley Park, came back and joined some pre-teens and 2 young adults for soccer, scored 2 goals and played goalie, then ran back to bike and cruised home, 2 hr excursion, B - 6m R - 3m
 

Sun - ski after 3 at Alta, got 7 runs in, then pulled P on bike to 'rents, 2.5m

Tues - ran after golf around softball and to car, had a beautiful last throw at 8 with a gimme. More into golfing than running. Played ball, guarded shooter pretty well, didn't take many shots until last game

Wed - played with new guys down 27 W for 1st time, 4 on 4, guarded emo big guy Shawn, only weakness was his emotions, ran floor pretty well but missed a few gimme's, old school thick rims. need to run, get my kicks in

Thu - no running but had the ball game for the ages, once I got warmed up played w/ Wendel, Kevin and new tattooed guy and we had a 4 game run, they relied on me as the scorer and I came through, mostly medium-range jumpers, a few good layup drives and hustle. We beat both teams twice until Kelly came back and guarded me, then we lost twice, but it was great. I opted out the last game knowing I'd be sore, 3 nights straight of ball, Wended'l having shoulder surgery so it was good to give him a parting victory.

Fri - biked to May's, ran from there to gov. housing, last ran there in winter cold from H's?, along tracks to New Pilgrim church, and back. 45 min, then biked P back in slightly dangerous dark evening, 4.5m

Sat - from Draper Park to Corner canyon high school, incredible facility, ran 3/4 mile on track around yelling hs'rs then around perimeter and back, stretched while SUV watched, night run, 1 hr, 5 m

Sun - disc golf with Mark and Kyle, just walked around, but knees were sore after
 

Mon - good long run w/ Nate, started at 33rd Jordan River Parkway, down to trails near Germania Park, then back and to his house. He had already run for an hr when he met me, I started dragging after 1 hr 15, probably slowed to 9 min. pace, but good 90 minute run 11.5m

Tues - Quick 25 min from Grandma's around Draper park, felt like I was cruising, felt good to run faster, criss-crossing the grassy fields 3m, then one game of ball where Ian deliberately drove on me, over too quickly

Wed - busy w/ Mark, "stupidity in the backseat", played ball at 70th S, 5 on 5 then 4, played ag. smart, use offensive moments well guy, sprained his ankle at the end, played ok but didn't get the feel for the rims and the court and the guys yet

Th - a little sore from ball, ran fr Draper Park wh Moriah watched P, felt better as ran, out to horse trails, around and back, 4 m

Fri - ran fr Camp Williams cem. to Th. Pt golf course for rest stop, 1hr, saw backhoe on way back, trail running 7m

Sat - disc golf for motivation, ran course, passed a few groups, maybe wowed them, then ran fast fr 18 to car, neuromuscular turnover 1/2 m

Sun - biked w P to Park, 9 holes walking w/ Andy, pedal fell off

Mon - ran before ball, around aptmt, getting some speedwork in, feeling fast

Tues - ball, had Joe and blue-collar guys, won 3 games ag Ace and Gabe?, (big who's lost weight), then dropped one, drove in for left-hand game winner and gw assist to Dalton, 

Wed - ball near 70th, played longer than wanted to, still getting a feel for the lighting and rims, made one great full court assist to Sean, felt worn down, want to work on being able to drive

Th - was working all week Ren. Academy, ball was 21 w/ Kelly and friend, won one game, efficient movement, wanted to run but also felt like it w/ wear me down more

Fri - great run from R. Ac, jumpting fences in new neighbor houses and then some pull-up, dip sets, then back on Murdoch canal trail, was it worth it? No for career, yes for fitness

W/u with Matt Poulson, very cold, rode bus up and ran uphill. Then loops in the parking lot and down, wind coming down the canyon. Was ready to go.

Started on the 3rd row and strode out to 1st right turn out of This Is The Place Park, could see string of runners out ahead of me. Felt like I was going pretty fast but holding back and cruising. No mile markers which is probably good, started to pass peeps 1/4 mile in, altogether probably passed 20, started up the hill towards ARUP, here I passed Eleanor and Sarah, didn't know who they were so didn't know how good I was doing, could see Bill and Joe out ahead, Bill be-bopping and Joe tracking. Continued to pass until we got onto road back to Sunnyside, then could see two guys 40 yards ahead, Jacob and another young'un. After turning onto Sunnyside, I thought I was doing pretty well, felt like I was maintaining a good pace, breathing fast but strong, in fact, I think I could have pushed a little more thru here, I was thinking we were close, had a momentary lapse and pause after thinking we were a lot further to the finish (in my head thinking there's a long way b/w Foothill and East High, but it's really not, a few stoplights). I was ready to push for home and saw the track and had caught up to Jacob, got into a sprinting pattern, tracked Jake thru 100 to go and then opened up, sh probably have sprinted from 200 out, need to work on knowing how far I can sprint but it was lovely to have a track to sprint on, passed Jake amidst cheers for him and hit home in the fastest 5K of my adult life. I don't really think I'm in the best shape I've ever been in but I do think I'm not terribly far. Low-mileage but active guy just 25 seconds off fastest flat 5K. But this really is a downhill, not sure how far it drops but it's precipitous.

Afterwards cooled down on the grass and with Joe and the Alta team, chatted w/ Eleanor and Sarah and Austin Banz, golfer going to the Y who was just behind. http:/Results here 

Sun - morning warm-up w Phin, too big for stoller, into W hoods, found sand grotting bag, 25 min easy

 Mon - w Nate, from 53rd Parkway S to mid-golf course paralllel, 7:20s, 1hr 1/2, sped up w Nate on 7th E and then died, 9 min +, 12.3 miles, sore, weight 181

Tues - took 2 hr nap, ball, one game winning layup but shot was short all night, tired legs?

Wed - Jazz game, they put forth a good effort but lost to a deeper and more experienced Memphis team. Jazz Bear did everything he could but half-hearted Jazz fans in a 2/3rds filled arena didn't stand up. No shame in trying hard and failing, only shame in not learning from failure and not progressing.

Thu - Birthday present to myself was locking keys in car at Smith's and running home, biking back, picking up B & P, running back and biking home w/ a Mt. bike excursion to Arcadia to register P. Nice. Figure 2.5 miles running, 3 biking

Fri - ski after 3, 8 inches 2 days but spring powder, wet and slow, found great tree run left of face when followed 3 young guys, some trampoline with Phin, can do all I used to except backwards roll from back position, that's a neck breaker, plan to get better in TN for vacay and w/ kids

Sat - fun trying to fix B's bike to ride, did a 30 minute Mt bike workout on the aptmt hill impressing the kids, and scaring some off :-) lower back workout basically

Sun - woke early, possibly motivated by the fact that I registered for Duathlon, ran canal, Baptist field, pit stop at stake, down to 36th canal, up to dead end house where found cement and canopy and home, 1 hr but w/ breaks, 5 m

Mon - lots of errands, but no running, stayed up late reading Linsanity & Muggeridge's Jesus, The Man who Lives

Tues- moderate 42 w/ Nate, ran to Liberty and around once, stinger in left foot mid-metatarsul, ran in new Fitsole Nike shoes, too much flex?, got numb after awhile, thru business district, grass, then park where had had lunch w/ Boyd's. 5.5 m; no ball cuz of sore foot; slept w/ toe spreader on left ft. 

Wed - biked w/ P to homestead, Fedex, home, bank, homestead, 9.5m, risked ball w/ 70th stake guys, talked w/ Sean the workout beast after, lost one, then won two, getting serious, then won but still sometimes watch instead of jump/defending, esp. gets-hurt-every-time-but-plays-best guy (he hurt his thumb), had a few good lefty layups, felt really energetic, foot didn't hurt, toe spreader again
