Ran with Dave, Dustin, Steve.   Feeling real sluggish.  We picked up the pace .  Clyde was lucky he was not there. he would of been  begging us to slow down. :):)    Dave looks ready for Boston.     Steve runs on gas power.  I think he will have to burn his running shorts.  We blazed a new trail out in the desert.  The sun about blinded me.  The glare alone almost stoped me in my tracks.

Met up at the snow canyon track to do some speed work.    Did some funky chicken maneuvers to warm up.     Steve missed all the excitement.   We did ladders.  I got to get my watch a new battery.  Started out 200,400,800,1200, 800, and 800,400,200.   I did not go all out on these. About 5 k pace.  Steve rocked and made everyone look bad. I thought heard him say to someone "get out of the way fat butt"  Felt okay after the work out. Had a little left in the tank.  Toby was there along with his wife.  Good turn out. Around 10 people at the work out.

Ran the Dam to Dam today.    Not to happy with the time.  32 something.   5.2  mile race.       10th overall   1st in division.    ($ 20) buck certificate which I used toward some running shorts.   Race started out at the west end of sandhollow.  the course  is all on dirt ,gravel  and sandy road.   Fairly flat course.    Ran about 6 after the race with Dustin  and Jose.  Race conditions were good. Great weather.  The St. George Running Club dominated the race.   Dave ran 10 miles to get to the race then came in second overall.  (What a Gladiator!)   Dustin($15) came in 4th overall and Steve($10)  came in right behind him  5 th overall.   Clyde would probably of won the race.  The race had certificates and gave out nice bags instead of shirts.  Also there was Steve Olsen ($20. )  not sure what overall place.  I told Dustin before the race that I was going to try and hang with him. He smiled and gave me that look as if he were saying "Dream on Grandpa!"     After mile 1,  Dustin was gone from my sight,  like a wayword youth running from home.

Just another day at the track.   Clyde was ready to rumble.  Steve showed up just a tad late.   Ran two mile warm up then ran 8x400.   mile warm down. 1. 1:18 2. 1:20 3. 1:24 4. 1:22 5. 1:21   6. 1:20  did not time. 8.  1:20

Steve and Clyde ran two mile repeats at a blistering pace.  They were running the mile labs faster then almost every one else just running 400s.     It was a thing of beauty

I went to my usual spinning class this morning.  The usual instructor "Sweet Angela" was not there today.    We  rocked for an hour. then cooled down with stretches and 5 min of abs work out.   I feel like a abused horse.  When will it be over?   Does it ever get any easyer?  ran 5 tonight.  picked up the pace the last 2 miles. 

My wife requested a  special valintines present.  She said she wanted something that was shinny and goes from 0-200 in  6 seconds. 

 

I bought her a Scale!

I guess you guys can figure out how my valintines day went!

I missed the track work out.  I just can’t seem to get off work in time to be there.     I ran 6 miles; probably around 6:30 pace.  I ran some more tonight on the treadmill with a 1% grade.  At 6:30 pace.  Last 800 at 4:40 pace.   Then I ran a mile cool down.   I then talked to a woman for about 45 minutes about the philosophies of the wild bull and invited her out Thursday to run with the girls.

Today I wrote a new book called Duel under the sun II.   It was February 21st, 2007,  another peaceful  spring like day in St. George with temperature in the mid 50s.   I was running up to visit the shoe Nazi. (A fellow runner, (friend who owns a running store.)  I could barley muster an 8-minute mile.   Then about 2 miles into my run, Grandma and her electric wheel chair came around the corner.  Grandma smiled as she started to pull past me.  (For more of the Duel under the sun II,  send 3 easy payments of $ 9.99)  A portion of the proceeds will go to Help Behunin Garmin fund.

I had real issues today and real problems.   I forgot my shoes to run this afternoon for the clubs Thursday work out.  So I called Steve and told him of my problem and then I booked it home and back to the store.   I was glad they did not wait for me. Kendra told me the direction they went so I Ran the reverse course  to chuckwalla.  Met up with Clyde and Brent?  And Jose up at the top of sunset point. Briefly chatted then Clyde took off like he had fire in his pants.  Jose, Brent and Myself flew down behind him putting out the fire.  Brent is an awesome runner the guy can just fly.   Smooth as vanilla ice cream.  Hose on the other hand is a great runner, but he runs like Rocky Roads Ice cream.    The sides of my Saucony shoes are splitting out at the toes.  I guess my feet are too wide.   Ran another 4 tonight.

I actually got out of bed this morning and ran down the road like a homelss Dog.   ABS sore.   Using the heating pad at night seems to help.    Will run another 6 tonight.

Today is word of wisdom day.    1. Never eat the chicken wrps at Mcdonalds.   I had to stop twice on my run.  And  never tell your wife this:  I feel so miserable without you; it's almost like having you here."
       -- Stephen Bishop

Have a great week, I am  going to salt lake and will not be here Thursday.
