I ran with the BBK group this morning early on and did 10.5 miles with some faster paced tempo runs on the last 2 miles. My legs are feeling it. I should be recovered by tomorrow if I can think young thoughts. I  have the same body as I did in high school why can I not be as fast? lol

Hey Now, I went down to 123rd and ran part of the marathon course with Misty, and Kelli. Danielle was supposed to meet but woke up late. We did a pretty good pace, I was tired and got to see some of the course and the couple of hills that we will be running saturday. Its a pretty good course. Not as scenic as Moab but what did you expect? Hey Now.

I drove up to daybreak and ran 6 easy paced miles with Danielle while Misty and Charity did there 4+ miles. It was cold at the start but I warmed up good. I had to put the .15 in my miles in case Im close to beating the next person in line for weekly mileage. I didnt cheat mind you, it was indeed .15 over! I dont feel guilty for it as sometimes I forget to stop my watch and drive home and rack up a 10 miler. That would be cheating. Thats something thats not tolerated in my book. Although there isnt anyone policing this website, I may find a way to be able to. That would thin us slackers out pretty darn quick. Maybe I can come up with a chip that you insert into your body to keep an eye out on the competition. I wonder how I could do it? Drug them at the finish line and do it. Oh that reminds me of a practical joke that I thought of at the starting line at moab. I put viagra in the water at the aid stations. Would that slow down my competition, or would it make them faster? hmmmm

I may be having a A.D.D. moment here. You can see how my mind works now from my blog today.

It was a brisk windy morning today. I waited up till 5 min. to the start and shed everything down to my shorts and singlet. I was freezing!  I started really fast for about the first .25 mile and no one was around me at all so I slowed my pace down to what I thought was a 6 min. pace but my first mile was 5:23.  I didnt panic because I had a slight decline with a brisk tailwind. 2nd mile was 5:29. 3rd had some hill and firts headwind run 6:02. 4th got down to the trail in the wind 5:43. 5th All head wind. 5:51. 6th Same, headwind with a steep hill. 6:24 7th headwind, 6:03. 8th headwind 6:11 had Scott and his kids cheering me on.  9th Finally had some tail wind. 5:41. 10th had a steep .1 mile hill kill that was straight up but quick.  6:09 Mile 11 was trying to pick up my pace, I had my kids cheer me on at that point. 5:46. 12th mile had a short half mile of headwind and then the downhill started to the finish. 5:40. 13th mile was mostly downhill with a tailwind nice! 5:32  My performance was pretty strong, no one to push me so Im sure my times showed for it although last week I had plenty of guys to push me and couldnt muster some solid speed in that race.  Tyler came in behind me for a 2nd place finish and we won some gifts from Wasatch Running Center and a trophy. It was very windy and cold. Kelli (Tylers wife) gave me a blanket which was so nice of her! I felt bad hogging it up but they made us park our cars in a differant location than the finish so it was impossible to get my warm clothes on. Thaks Kelli! It was a fun run and good to see everyone have some fun out there! Now I have to recovery like a High School athlete for next weeks half marathon.
