My Morning work out was not to good. I was  glad to get out .  On my run i was thinking about Saturday After my work out with the guys.  I went and got my hair cut.   I had a coupon for a $ 3.75.  After all was done they only charged me $ 3.00.  I Must have alot less hair on top then i thought.  Planning on running 7 tonight.

Ran with the club.  " D" Dave, Steve, Clyde.  We started our journey from Steves Store.  and drove up to Enterprise lake.   I thought i would have a good run today,  but I had some issues from the beginning.  I just could not losen up.  I ended up tripping and breaking my mp3 player.  Dehydrated and very slow.  I decided   to hitch a ride with some guys with an ATV.  They were heaven sent.   I am not sure why i am so sore.  My body just feels worn down.  It could be my diet.

Ran with Dave and Clyde.      I was doing pretty good and felt fine until  around mile 7.   I hit the wall ,and my body said stop.  I completly broke down.  Maybe i need to get my blood checked?   We stoped at the dixie center and drank plenty of water.    I had to slowley jog back to Clydes place.   I got to figure what is going on!

I was at the gym running on the dread mill.  And the power went out.  I decided to abuse the other machines and i hopped onto the elliptical machine.  Man did it get Hot.   I was resolved to work out because i had an almond fudge shake from iceberg for lunch. (Yummy to the tummyJ)

I was able to pull the old bones out of Bed this morning.  I thought it would of been a nice moorning to run because it rained last night.   I was a little disapointed.  it was hot and muggy.   I pulled off the shirt and strapped on the mp3 player and rocked on down the road.  Picked it up the last mile. avg 7 min pace. 

I went out around 8 pm last night and almost got killed by a home run!   I was running behind the baseball field and some just slammed a home run. The ball missed my head by about 2 feet.  I enjoyed the run.  Was a just a bit hot (100 degrees? )

I got to Bryce around 5 pm Friday night. I was going to stay at the KOA but I decided against it because there were enough teenagers their to drive a person crazy. I decided to camp just out side of town on top of a mountain. I barley managing to get the tent set up when a heavens opened and brought down buckets of water. The wind started blowing and the thunder was echoing of the mountain walls. I did not have time to secure my tent so I lay in side of my tent like a dead weight trying to keep me and the tent from soaring of the top of the mountain. The race started just north of the famous ruby’s Inn. 800 eager beavers ready to scream down the canyon to Canyonville. The gun went off and we started out of the gate. Then the gun went off again. Like a false start in a track meet. I stopped for a moment as about 50 people passed me, then I had to get it in gear. The first two-mile are flat. Then the next 5 go right down the canyon. I pretty much stayed with 4 guys going down the canyon. Then I slowly pulled away from them on the bottom. Here are my splits. 1. 6.49 2. 6.21 3. 5.57 4. 6.10 5. 6.24 6. 6.24 7. 6.46 8. 7.10 9. 6.56 10. 6.53 11. 6.51 12. 7.05 13. 6.26 126.26 Avg pace 6:39

I took my baby garmen out for its first training run today.   I ran 8 miles which i thought was at least 10?   Bad baby!!!     I tested it's limits because i heard it  stops working  if your running to slow.   15 min miles.  I thought i was running 8 min miles, (bad baby)     I ended up going over the bridge in washington and running in the middle of the parade.  People were throwing candy at me and my baby!  :):).   after the parade,    i   saw woman on a bike with her chid in one of those cuboose contraptions.    I picked up the pace and passed her at 6:20 pace.   She was on a mission to pass me back and began closing the gap.  I groaned  and picked up the pace to 6:00 min miles.   As we turned onto red rock road and started going down hill .   I knew at this point I  was defeated.  She and her child completly closed in on me and passed me with her teeth uncloaked.   I shut down the turbo and baby garmin went back to sleep.  In defeat i waddled on back home. :(:(

I will call today a day of “True lies”    My best friend called me and told me his wife was pregnant.  (I told him I had nothing to do with it!)      I strapped on baby Garmin and went on my regular 10 mile run which ended up only being 9.2 miles.L    I can’t reveal the pace in fear that I might get kicked off the running  club!

Today i gave blood.   The red cross came down from salt lake in a giant mobile home.  Around 12:00 pm i entered a large mobilehome with darkened windows.  People i have never met before started asking me all sorts of vey personal questions.  Heart rate became elevated 52 bpm when this red headed babe wanted to stick it to me.  I asked her what she did for fun after work.   She told me the company pretty much keeps them locked up at night to protect the general public!   

After my visit with the blood suckers,   I went back to work and found out that the Hobble creek half is full :(:(.      

Ran 7 with the club. Dustin, Dave, Steve.    I was sure feeling the drain!!   What a drag.

Got up late and ran in the heat. (85 and humid)   felt good at first but around mile 7 I began to get tired.  Stopped by my work and got some water.    I am going to salt lake this weekend to visit the family.    plan on running 20 Saturday.
