I thought I was feeling good today until I started running, then I found out I wasn't quite as good as I'd thought.

37 laps, 1:17 avg lap - 8:00 avg pace.

Our Lego Robot team competed in the Lego League State Championship at the University of Utah on Saturday, we did awesome.  6th Place out of 48 teams in the entire state.  What a great experience for kids, they have to present a project in front of judges, no adults allowed in the judging room, they have to design and program robots to comptete against other robots, and our team volunteered to go up in front of at least 1000 people to present their project.  It was a very long day but really fun.

Bradin is the one programing the robot.

37 laps. 1:17 avg lap = 8:00 pace.  My lap times were all over the place today, usually I'm within a second or 2 of my average but today I was ranging from 1:14 - 1:22.  There were a few people there that seemed to be trying to race me so thats probably what the difference was.  I try to just run steady but when someone sprints past I think mentally it makes me speed up.

Today I followed my PT's ordered and didn't do it if it made it hurt.  For some reason my hamstring has been acting up again so I opted to elliptical today.

I'm not sure what my problem is, just achy and sore with no energy.  I tried to run laps and thought I'd loosen up but after 1 mile just gave up.

This has nothing to do with running, but worth watching.
