During my lunch break from the CFA exam, I was able to get in a 2.2-mile jog around the University of Utah campus which was nice (beautiful day).  After I got home from what is always a brutally tough six-hour test, I lazily plopped down on the couch and watched the rebroadcast of the Prefontaine Classic on Universal Sports which got me motivated and out for any evening run.  For this run, I went up to Skyline High School, completed on lap around the track before heading over to REI then back to home.  The total distance of this run was 12.55 miles at a relatively easy pace.  Also, the best part was that it was another great downhill workout where I'm slowly building back up some speed (i.e., essentially learning to run downhill again because with all the injuries that I have gone through with my right leg, my natural reaction is to put on the breaks when descending).

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

I've heard oatmeal is a "brain food"! I hope it worked it's magic.

Nice run ... too!

Hey FRB Gang! So, so sorry for the three week long absence from our running blog. In short, my life just got beyond busy. I did not realize how much work I was pushing off until after the CFA exam (by the way, they grade this on a curve and the results will be available in early August) then I had all of my Wasatch Back Team Captain duties to fulfill. Way too busy and was just scrambling to get caught up on everything. However, I was still able to get my run on each day and competed in The Wahsatch Steeple Chase (toughest race that I have ever ran) then the Wasatch Back (always fun). Thanks so much for posting and caring and sorry again about the delayed response! It's great to be back and caught up with my posts and I'm looking forward to checking up on your progress. Have a great week and happy running!
