I ran the Tuscan marathon!  Going into this thing i new I was out of shape  and over weight so I really did not have any asperations about doing Well.     We started off on a down grade then  it went hilly.  then fairly flat.  around Mile 8  we ran up to the bioshere. ( more hills.)  I was on pace to break my first 3 hour marathon until i hit mile 19  then i hit the wall.   I could not run.  i had to walk and jog the rest of the way to the finish.   managed to run 3:17.

It is time to start thinking about making some new goals for 2008.   However, I must look at the past to see what I can improve on for the future!  

I ran 17 races in 2007.    It all began with The Painters Half in January.  In total I ran 2 Marathons, 5 Half marathons, 8 x 10 k and 1 x 5 k.       It has been a blast running with the club.  Steve, Dave, Clyde, Dustin who have been the most consistent in coming out and running club runs.  The club is growing and it is fun to meet the new runners.

Nice miles before the storm.    Met up with Brother Holt down by the river.  He was going for 18 and i was half way through 10.  I was in no shape to follow the man.   So we jawed for a few and made fun of goldylocks then parted ways.   Holt is a pure running machine.  He reminds me of a top notch pure blood racing horse.

I am having some back issues .   About twice a mile the pain shoots down my left leg.   Went out and ran 6.5    at 4pm   then ran another 4 on the treadmill.   Treadmill is great for getting the leg turnover moving.

A big fat (0).    My Roaming back pain, which seems to just follow me wherever I go, continues.   I can't seem to out run it.  I look like I need a walker when I walk during the day!    So    I decided to go to my work Christmas party and play lead singer karaoke style.   This created a mass exit.  Any one that knows me thinks that I sound like a harpooned whale.   I feel the quilted weight of not running.  But I drowned my sorrows in 4 returns to the snack bar.

Met up with Dazzling Dave, Draggen D, and Mad Man Mike. at 7 am at the Dixie center.  Dave said it was around 27 degrees.  It was so cold we passed two runners who were suspended perfectly in running form by the river of tears.   Dave kept us honest and maintained the pace.  All the guys are getting excited about the  Ogden marathon.  I guess I better get it in gear.  After the run today I found myself wanting to crawl back to my car.   Guess i bettter go see a pt ot get a few more treatments on my back.

Another day at the Gym.      I was doing crunches by the Scale.   Every time some one came up to weigh themselves i would guess there weight.    Some words of advice for you young bloggers!  Guess on the light side when a pretty girl  walks up!  (Man my face is still hurting!)    Well the work out was great!  Just sweating to the sounds of ESPN.

What a day.  IT all started at the villiage inn for breakfast.. I had the country breakfast with hot choclate.    After that a visit to the bone cracker!  and a  small  treatment session with electrodes!    after that lunch at applebees!   3 ontrey deal. shrimp, chicken wings, steak, and three beverages to wash it all down.   We got lunch for free because we had to wait 45 minutes.    Nothing like free lunch!    Then at 5  I ran with the club.   Dave, "D" Logan F, Allen M,  Mike, Paul.     We were all decked out in multible layers with beanie hats and gloves looking like that kid on the Christmas story.   Logan who came down from Logan was in a singlet and shorts and was wondering what are problem was?  We  Saint George guys are wimps.    One of Santas elfs must of fell off the sleigh!   He showed up in tights and red santa hat.  Glad we got the run done. And no one ran over the elf.  Later that night the rain was coming down side ways.

Confession of a slide player!    I am a member of a Christmas Band  4 kazoos, One triangle, 1 duck, 1 train, And a wood block.   We have performed for state agencies all over Saint George.  We were going to perform  for this terminally ill guy at the hospital but they kicked us out before the performance.   The room had a quarantined sign out side of the door.  We were so excited to play no one thought to read it.  The slide is a delicate instrument which requires precise air out take and eye to hand coordination.  Back to running!  I ran from the DMV in Hurricane to Saint George.   I was pretty sore and just ran real slow.   IT Band was tight.
