Buffalo Wild Wings – Visit their website, and you’ll hear GGGggrrrr!!! in the background.  It reminds me of really bad acid reflux.  I ate their yesterday with Dad, Yukino, and Claire.  The food tasted delicious, but it was the oiliest, greasiest meal I’ve ever eaten.  I had the sampler plus ribs and popcorn shrimp (Buffalo Wild Wings menu).  Yukino ordered the mushrooms for Claire, cut them into smaller pieces, and a pool of grease came out – yummm, I’d like my grease in a cup please…  I was too full to eat dinner that night.

Ran this morning around 9am.  Felt heavy and bloated from yesterday’s lunch.  I ran 40 minutes build up (build up run is where I run increase pace over the last 20 minutes of the run) through the sidewalks of Lakewood Springs.  My wife and I went to the mall after breakfast.  There was a small kiosk in the mall that had little red stroller cars.  Claire rode in one which was nice because I didn’t have to carry her the whole time.  I bought a cofee, some work shirts, and hair pins for my daughter.

This is Wednesday, so you know what that means…point workout day.  My evening point workout was rushed because I wanted to make it to Jack’s ball game by 6pm.  I measured 400 meters with my GPS watch (Garmin Forerunner 305) from the front of Dad’s house to the stop sign, and marked start and finish lines with my shoes; I did this workout in my racing shoes since I’ll be racing this weekend.  I ran 7 x 400s rather than the normal 10 x 400s on race week in attempt to save up enough time to shower, pack some dinner, and go to the game.  Unfortunately Dad wasn’t ready, and we left 10 minutes late missing Jack’s 1st inning where he pitched perfectly striking out all three batters.  His team was up to bat, and when we arrived Jack was on first base.  My niece Ryann played with Claire the whole time.  Claire’s smile was never bigger than it was while she plays with Ryann.  Jack’s team won the game.

Every second interval was against the wind (kinda strong).  Here’s the breakdown:
1. 67   5. 70
2. 72   6. 70
3. 72   7. 62 (4:08 mile pace)
4. 74
