AM early morning run on Pipe line trail from Burch hollow to the mouth and back.  I add a little down the road to Log Haven and Back to the parking lot to call it 10 miles.  Saw the first Adult Rattlesnake on the trail this morning just before the hill on the east side of Church Fork.  Big and very active for early in the morning.  Watch out if you run with dogs.

PM 8 miles sugar house park with C.

Afternoon Run with the East high team 5 miles.  Up Sunnyside to the golf course and around and back to the track.

PM Wasatch Athletics track workout at Highland.6 miles total Outter loop around the park, normal warm up with a mile of speed changes.  Everyone else was doing more but I decided to do a few 400's with them. I did 3.  1:14, 1:12, 1:09.  They felt good. On the last one I did, I told Randy, who was in town from Washington D.C. I was just going to hang on his shoulder and I did.  It was the easiest of the three.  Did four laps cool down.  Legs are feeling good.  Should be ready for Ogden.  The field is stacked.  I heard today Fritz Van DeCamp is coming from California, he has won this race a few years back.  This is second hand, but his mom said he wants to qualify for trials here.  I guess he just missed out with a 2:23ish on a marathon recently that he was trying to qualify in.  The battle up front will be fun to watch, to bad I only see you guys for the first few miles.  Weather is going to get hot before we are done.  It might add a facet of interest in the race.

Afternoon run on the track at East. It was hot 86 degrees, probably not as hot as down in St. George.  You guys must have to run pretty early or late to keep cool.  I did 4 laps warm up, 5 laps speed changes, and then paced Bre in a 400 keeping her at my shoulder.  I hit 1:15 and she stayed right there the whole time.  She went on to strides and I just kept running until I hit the six miles I had planned.

JV region tomorrow at Cottonwood High, kids had a light workout and should do good tomorrow.

No run today.  Went to the JV region meet and I was pleased with the effort everyone gave.  A few PR's-- Faje ran even faster then at region in the 1600 M. 5:21,  We also decided to put a team of distance kids together for the 4 X 400 I gave them the goal to break 4:00 they were so close 4:02 unofficially.  This group of JV kids have a lot of ability and should do great things in the near future.

Just finished the last of the paperwork for the USATF certification.  So It should be trials and Boston ready.  I hope everyone can achieve those goals they have set.  A doctor who has been running in our club is running Saturday in the full.  He has ran 30 + marathons and has come close to the Boston qualifier within 9 minutes a couple of times.  He has worked hard for this one I think he can make it.  He needs 3:10 I think he said.  I hope my wheels are still turning when I finish so I can run back to help him in.  Well I better eat and  get to bed it's almost 2 am and I have State track meet at BYU tomorrow the bus leaves from East at 6 am.  Bre doesn't run until Saturday 7:30 am  the 3200 M.  I will be thinking of her at about mile five. 

Ogden marathon, 4 miles after the race back to run in a friend trying to meet the Boston standard,  Ran 5 miles Pipeline tonight just before dark and sat in the river for 20 mins.  I'll do a race report tomorrow when I have more time.
