Ok today was one of the hardest runs that I have ever experienced.  Man what a hill of a climb that was and then the downhill after the brutal uphill.  My legs are hammered I fell in the river at the first crossing (lol) and lost my Garmin could not find it anywhere (still have the strap).  Oh well who needs to keep track of time right.  Big patch of firns and bushes over my head an hour later I lost mi IPOD in them somewhere ( that stuff was thick).  It was a great run I feel really good with my first time on that hill and I guess it was an expensive day to boot.  Close to 200 runners and I came in 32 overall, 11 in age group, not to bad.  My legs are all scared up from the brush and I would have to say I will do that run again. 

I woke up at 5:30 and decided it was time to go for a run in the nice cool weather.  It was alot nicer that early in the morning.  My ankles are still a little sore after the Bair Gutsman I guess because of the incline on the hill was so steep for ever until I got to the top. Oh ya and today was the first time without music and I missed it.  I wish I would have not lost the IPOD on the last race. Oh well that is racing for ya. 

8 miles around town in the heat.  stopped talk to a friend that was running also and finished strong considering that darn heat. 

today I woke up really late.  I have not slept for 10 hours in a long time.  By then it was hot outside, but I managed to get 6 miles done in the heat.  I feel like I was still really tired because I slept so long.  Today I also did a little speed work and ran a few miles at 6:30 pace.

I did an out and back course today with a head wind from you know where.  It was nice when I got to turn around and have the wind in my back. 

nice loop around town

Today was a nice day for some miles.  I woke up at 3:30 am and was out the door by 4:00 I have my music back now from the lost ipod in the last race so all is good.  I ran a HUGE 20 mile loop course that starts at my house and goes to West Layton and into Kaysville and I come back on main street all through Layton and Clearfield and Sunset and then back west to my home.  I ran a 2:31:10 and I feel really good about the run and the pace for now.  This was my longest week on miles close to 60 for the week.  YA Hoo off to Bear lake for a little wakeboarding for the weekand.  Have fun all.     

ok Just got back from BRRRRR Lake it was so cold.  Got down to 37 on Saturday night and the water was really cold but I enjoyed some great camping and just hanging out recovering from my long run. ( nothing like a cold bath)  Ran around Bear Lake today around 8 am the weather today was a bit warmer and I enjoyed the scenery.  Just got home and unpacking.  Ran a slower pace with the wife who is running her first half marathon at the Top of Utah.  

6 miles done today legs are still a little tired from the longest week and wakeboarding but feel pretty good. 

7 miles around town

ran 10 miles today in the heat.  Feel ok , legs are tired from the weekand but this weekand I will be headed to the high country hiking for 6 days.  I will be running in the cooler weather and I have a run planned where I will be running from the red canyon lodge to Sheep creek that will be a good down hill run that will feel awesome.    

so just got back this week from a nice trip up to the mountains.  Did a bunch of hiking probably 10 miles a day so now back home and back at it.  had a bad cold and attempted to run but had a really bad cough so over it and rested and feel good now.  Darn colds I hate them it ruins my week for sure

just getting over a nasty cold but 7 miles went well today got her done.

I hate colds starting to feel better though.  Ran the loop around town 8 miles and it went well.

ran the loop around town.  feel ok starting to feel much better.  Darn colds can catch up to you ,but was a little slower then I wanted, but will do much better if I am 100%

I was able to get out today had a busy day but ran 5 miles with wife, who is running her first half marathon Saturday  Top of Utah.  Wish I was running it with her but she needs a chance and I get to watch for the first time.  Should be exiting for her good luck hun.

Well got at least 7 miles done after a awesome job by my wife for her first half marathon today. She did great and good job to all you FRB members. I saw alot of you running strong today. I stayed a little busy at the finish doing CPR on a guy that went down. We had no pulse and he hit his head really bad on the ground. Went into cardiac arrest and I did not think he was going to make it and luckily we had alot of EMT's and nurses on scene that could help with CPR and I was told after they got him loaded up that they got a heart rate back. Good luck fellow who ever you are, he was so close to the finish, maybe 100 yards. I sure hope he makes it and you are in our thoughts today. Good Job guys and gals. I took some pics of Jon and Matt and will get you some pictures sent to you.

rode the bike today around 30 miles.  It was a good day.  warm and just a nice day to ride the bike around.  Hit some really good hills and it wasa good workout for sure.  Time to get really serious this month on putting in some long tempo runs and alot of miles for St. George.   

8 miles around town. feel really good held a 7:10 pace throughout the run and faster on some down hill.
