Horrible night sleep last night, laid awake until 2:00am stressing about work, stressing about life, stressing about the fact I couldn't get to sleep so my run was going to bite.

Word of advice, if any of you are or ever will be in cub scouts, "DO NOT" do the space derby, stick to the tried and true Pinewood derby.  I was in charge of the Space Derby last night and it was a logistical nightmare, kids crying, parents yelling at me.  Not fun!!

Anyway, pretty much planned on skipping the long run today.  Thought I'd be good to go 8, instead of starting from my office and dealing with the climb up to Wasatch I drove and parked at the park and ride at the corner of 6200 and Wasatch.  Ran North on Wasatch to the trail that goes over I-80, and turned around and came back.  Tuned out being 10 miles round trip, I never really pushed the pace at all, just enjoyed the run.  Felt good, I'm sure the run woke me up better than an extra hour of sleep would have.

10 miles in 1:13:33 7:21 avg pace.
