After study for the CFA in the morning, I headed out to clear my mind in the afternoon with a nice long run in the drizzling rain.  I started this run by jogging by the grocery store to make a return before I headed down to 4500 South and 700 East and followed the Salt Lake Marathon course from mile 17.7 all the way to the finish line at The Gateway.  Then I ran by West High School and took the brutal 400-North hill up to the Capital Building. After circling around Memory Grove to the mouth of City Creek Canyon, I headed over to the University of Utah then back to home by way of 1300 South.  The total distance of this run was 25.3 miles at a comfortable 8.25 pace (total time: 3:33:16).  I’m still eating everything in sight to recover from last weekend’s bout with dehydration, but the last three days proved I’m back in regards to my mileage!!!

For my non-running workout, I was just able to get in 300 sit-ups.

Five-Minute Plank Challenge:  2:00

Trying-To-Go-Out-Of-My-Way-To-Eat-Healthy Challenge:  a serving mixed fruit, low fat yogurt, and a serving of green beans

Come on. You couldn't run less than a mile more to get a full marathon in?

There's a fine line between bullying and parenting.

Nothing is ever good enough for you?! No matter how much I try to make you proud of me, it seems like it's never, never good enough! One day Burt, I'll fulfill your lofty expectations and you'll proudly exclaim to all, "that's my fast-running-blog boy!" Until then, I'll strive to out run the disappointment because it's not all sweat and snot, but also a few tears.:-)

LOL! Which of you fathers, if your son asks for a fish, will give him a snake instead? Uh, that would be me.
