I met up with some Ghosts and gobblins around 5 am this morning.   Mike, Marci and two other strangers in the nght exchanging glances by the recreation center.   Nice easy run.  Mike was trying to use me as a wind breaker.  Then he began to pick up the pace running up toward webb hill.  diapointing weekend as far as  Robin is concerned, I did not see her at all sunday.   Her children came home.  had some sort of flew sunday.   :(     :(.    We only talked about 40 min Sunday.   I am now an offical Verizon carrier!    And no that is not some sort of disease

Met up with Marci, Mike at the rec center.  Ran a different course.  Marci was pushing the pace most of the way.  At one point i almost gave up and let her carry on.  Mike will be  in shape in no time.  left foot went numb. right foot is past the point of whatever.     New hours at my job is killing me.   Forget sleeping.

FYI

Most Socially Conservative College

"Because of the nature of BYU as a private institution run by a religious group, the school typically attracts a lot of Latter Day Saint (Mormon) individuals," most of whom are "friendly, clean-cut and religious," with an "emphasis placed on education and social interaction." They "never drink or smoke, work part-time and spend weekends either at the library or trying to find someone to marry." As one student explains, "Because of our religion, many students are very preoccupied with marriage and finding their special someone. This also is hard for those of us who are not yet ready to look for a marriage partner or who don't want to start a family right away." In fact, atypical students -- there are some, "usually distinguishable by the way they dress (they try to stand out)" -- can find it "hard to be around this culture." One student writes, "Sometimes I get really frustrated and don't like how close minded and judgmental a lot of the students can be."
BYU  Rocks!

20 miles . Metup at the store with a solid group of runners.  Good runners. the kind that put fear into a mans eyes.  The kind that make you wonder why you even showed up.    Mike, Bruce, Logan,  and the spirit of Steve!    Marci , Hayden,  Eric, James.  and another Girl who decided the price was just too high to pay,  and high tailed it out of there before we started off.   We All crammed into Mikes truck. What a guy! What a nice guy.   Every one was doing great until i started to put Vapor rub on my legs.  then suddenly Mike and Bruce and Marci wanted to bail out.   I told Marci that it was better then Pepper spray!    Mike almost told me to get out of his truck.  

We droped Mike and Bruce off at 15   and Mike was kind enough to let me drive his truck to the 20 point.  (Mike your truck clears giant boulders and jumps streams with  ease.)   What a truck!  

5  Brave souls took off from 20.  On our dark journey looking for road kill.  Logan, Eric, Marci, James,  and myself. Marci took the lead,  She had enough of the smell and was not going to hang back.  Soon after,  we all took off at a very comfortable pace.  so comfortable it reminded me of  a fluffy pillow.   after about a mile of warm fuzzy and barley avoiding head on trouble with a few cars.  (thanks logan) I decided to pick up the pace and get the show on the road.  (No head phones, No AC/DC  Nothing.  This run was going to be about just me and the road and trying to live with my self for the next 18 miles.  Finished and  avg 7 min pace. i was a little disapointed.  Wanted to run faster then that.    But this was a nice 20 in the books.

Met up with Marci and Jeff this morning.      Started out and I just did not feel right.   I was breathing hard trying to catch my breath from the beginning.    Seemed like i was really struggling trying to just keep pace.  Back was tight,   no energy.  Right foot was screaming for a vacation.   Marci and Jeff were having a nice conversation and i was sucking Air. Jeff must think i am a jerk because i did not say much.   I thought if i picked up the pace the body would adapt. But that did Not help.  Even when the road had a down hill  the body just  did not want to move.  no get up and go.    Marci and Jeff were kind to stop and let me streatch the back a little.   I cut the 10 mile work out short and hobbled back to the rec center.  ran a few slow on the treadmill.  

oh yea almost forgot. I talked to Robin for 2.5 hours last night until 12 am.    Getting up at 4:30  hmm    4 hours sleep.   Why am i tired?

Met up wit Marci, Mike and Jeff at the Rec center.    We started out at a nice pace, then Marci pretty much took off like Ham and Eggs were waiting for her at home.   I was lucky to just hang on and witness 6 Min pace show.  Man this girl can run!

Hobble Creek half. is always fun.    Dustin and i Got on the next to the last bus up the canyon.   I would say there were over 1000 runners.  The start of this race is always interesting.  Narrow sarting line.   And every one wants to start at the front.    I got pushed back about 20 feet from the start and had to just wait it out for a half a mile before i could get going.   I decided the night before that i was not going to go all out and see how the foot responds.  I just tried to keep an even pace most of the race.   Got a new PR for the Half.    I am pretty sure i can hold this pace for a marathon.
