AM: Slept in a little while Sandra did her run. Then did a mid-campus/Shriners commute run in. This piles most of the climb into a small package. The major climb (I lapped it) is at mile 4, with the following in 1.36 mi 466ft of ascent and 26ft of descent!

5.5mi Avg. 9:25 HR 135

PM: Reverse commute run. Not as fast as yesterday. Ended up bagging a gift certificate from the hill challenge at The Salt Lake Running Co., so stopped and picked up some new socks on the way home.

Mi 2.5 Avg. 7:40 HR 139

You'll be well-trained for the next uphill treadmill challenge!

Jake, Do you have an idiot's guide on how to insert a picture? I uploaded a screen shot of the Garmin profile of this run to Shutterfly and all I can get is a hyperlink.

You have the hyperlink to the picture from shutterfly? If that is what you mean - then click on the little picture icon is the HTML toolbar when you go to edit your entry. Then paste the picture link in there. That should work.

Shows you how little I pay attention... Thank you!
