Wow, what a draining week I had! On New Years Eve morning my father had a mild heart attack I was woken up at 2 am to my whole family trying to get a hold of me. I really hate my phone ringing at that hour. It only means one thing, and it always is bad news. Ive never had anyone call me at that hour to tell me I won the lottery or that there was a mistake in Boston Marathon and everyone up to me was disqualified so I won, or something with good news like that! My dad is fine and back at home. He was smart enough to know the symptoms from family history of strokes and attacks. I spent the week up in Lewiston, Utah just north of Logan and it was freakin' cold up there. I did enjoy the Utes kickin' the crap out of a goliath team that came into the Sugar Bowl way over confident. GO UTES! GO MOUNTAIN WEST CONFERANCE! Always a good day when you can make a mockery of the BCS! ha! My miles last week were meak and for sure weak. I will make up for it next week. Its go time! Boston will be here before I know it!

Lucia, You will be in Boston soon! your one tough cookie!

WannaBracer, Thanks and I always like the BCS to eat humble pie! ha ha but they need to take the west more serious. Just because they are from another state makes them dominant over us huh? Wrongo! lol
