| Flew in from Hotlanta this afternoon and had the rest of the day on call and a group run/presentation in Ogden at 7 so I ran the Skyline Trail to Ben Lomond. Awesome. I met up with the Tuesday run group at Peak Performance in Ogden for a 6 miler up to Rainbow Gardens and back on the Ogden Marathon course. Did Yoga stretching for a half hour afterwards. Stretching is something I'm getting good at doing after my shorter runs. It's a real difference in my calfs and Hammstrings if I keep up on it. We did a presentation tonight with Dale Earnshaw of Run4fun. Walter actually did it and set it up. If it wasn't for him I'd have no social life at all and be some kind of hermit/pilot/loser. The reason for the presentation was the growing amount of people interested in running a R2R2R. I've been thinking as I've seen more of the canyon and it's history, and now that it's facing it's biggest expansion ever, that maybe in the future people will look back at these days as the early days. Maybe even much more runners in the canyon. We can either work at hiding it, or work at educating those who are going anyway. Tonight was a good meeting with a lot of questions and some smart people. |

| Ran on the Salt Flats today on the Bear River Bird refuge just north of the Great Salt Lake. Amazing. Partly dried mud so nice that I ran a few miles barefoot with my shoes tied on my back. This may be my new go to, anti mountain run. You could run a 100 miler on this vast space. My favorite part is the traveling rocks. |

| Kids back at mom's and off for a nice hot Orlando run. This week was kind of a bust for training. If I ever figure out how to be a marathoner and a full time parent I will have the secret of life. |

| Careful and well planned heat run today crossing the east desert out of Vegas and summiting Frenchman mountain 4,200 feet. 108 F today on a run that took nearly six hours with the climbing. Longest, hottest run yet for me. Used north of three gallons of water. Great article on heat management: Dead on with body temps. http://runnersconnect.net/running-training-articles/science-of-hot-weather-running |

| Day one of three. Three marathons, three states, three days. On call so as long as I don't get called to work this will be a fun weekend. An old friend is the director for this Trifecta so he gave me an entry race morning. Mostly dirt road today, rolling hills on the Idaho side of the lake. No cups at unmanned aid stations with 5 gallon bottles with a screw on lid, so they were a challenge. Tried lifting the bucket up, freakin heavy. Finally kept a power gel block packet in my pocket and put water in it. I felt I could hold a 3:07 today being fat and all, so aimed just above 7 min pace which felt real good. I wanted to keep some in the tank for tomorrow's marathon and tried not to get lead out by the lead guy running close to 6 pace. Fairly isolated experience since most runners are very conservative the first day. I didn't see another runner until catching up to the mass of half marathoners which is similar to the Ogden experience. I actually enjoyed this whole run. First marathon I can remember that was more like a run than my usual death fest. At mile 24 a guy shot out of nowhere from behind me going through a group of half marathoners and I took off after him. So stoked to see that I had plenty left. After passing him I finished in 2nd and found out that the guy ahead had run a 2:42. Insane. A guy out of the Flagstaff training group. Cool race. Different to run knowing that you have to consider two more marathons in the next two days. |

| Some days you run and some days you really run. Today was a great running day. Last week I averaged 3 hours of sleep a night for a week. Four redeye flights and getting the kids to girls camp. Crazy week. But yesterday I got 8 hours and slept over 9 today and what a difference. Awesome trail run in Chicago on the Des Plaines River Trail in the morning and Logan River Trail in the afternoon. |

| A very difficult trail today, Rattlesnake all the way up to Box Elder Cone at 9,600. One of the steepest in Utah climbing 5,000 feet. Mandi and I ran it pretty hard and it's always amazing how much harder you run when you are with a fast woman. :-) |

| Short trail/climbing run from Willard Basin to Box Elder Peak, 9,800 feet. Surprised a moma goat and kid, and a bighorn. The rarest thing to see on this range. I drove with a friend to Jackson last night for what I hoped was an early run up the Grand Teton. Snow conditions were terrible and generally unsafe on all the north facing slopes above 11,000 feet so we cancelled and I drove back for this consolation run. |

| Pretty intense mountain run today. One of the most consistent high altitude runs in Utah is the Skyline Trail. With an immediate climb from 6,000 to 9,000, you can run 11 miles above 8,700 feet between Ogden Canyon and Sardine. With an out and back that's 22 miles. Ran this with Walter today with a trailhead temp of 101F. At Ben Lomond Peak, 9,700 feet, I dropped off the West wall to see if I could get a mountain goat pic. Right into a herd of 20-30. Some scattered and some stood there and looked at me. Such beautiful animals. Ran out of water just as we started down, a 70 ounce camelback. |

| Hit Rattlesnake again with Mandi. This time couldn't keep up until reaching 8,500 feet where I think altitude conditioning gave me an edge. We had to turn around though just below the ridge due to approaching thunderstorms. |
