After a great night of sleep, I headed out for a mid-morning run over to Big Cottonwood Park where I completed nearly five laps around the parameter trail of the Park before heading home.  I wore my NB Minimus trail running shoes which felt great; that is, after a very long run (like yesterday’s 32 miler) it always feels awesome to recover by running in a mentalist (or minimalist :-)) shoe along a dirt trail.

While watching the review of the Iowa Straw Pull (or Poll :-)), I completed 300 sit-ups.

Five-Minute Plank Challenge: 30 second plank and side planks

Trying-To-Go-Out-Of-My-Way-To-Eat-Healthy Challenge:  a serving of oatmeal and two servings of mixed fruit

Mentalist shoe? I've got a lot to learn.

I really need a "great night of sleep". It seems I haven't in a long time. 32 miles yesterday...wow...sorry I missed it!

BTW...what the heck is a "straw pull"?

Wow, I must have been tired or just typing too fast on this entry or had a bad hangover from that 32 miler… Minimalist shoe, but mentalist shoe sounds even cooler (I know, not close but they both start with an “m” and end with a “list”).... Also Preston, a straw pull is where the candidates stand around and pull straws from the head election judges hand and the one with the longest straw wins. :-) Okay, a "u" somehow got in there over an "o". Yes Burt, you have a lot to learn my friend! :-)

Happy Running!
