not the best tempo miles 6-9 had a nasty head wind, took a lot out of me. But able to recover for the last mile. At least if I have a head wind in my next race. I can say I trained in it.

NO RUN TODAY!!!

I hate missing long runs. But when you are throwing and body feels weak. There is nothing you can do but rest. Bring on the Liquids!!

 Positive note. Watched the Track and Field World Championships all day!!

Finally got my computer fixed. Hopefully I can get all my journal entries up to date from the last month or so.

Nice run today a little cooler so that was nice for a change.

Ran with Brett Ferrier on the roads in North Ogden in the morning.

 P.M.

Had a fitness test for one of my classes @ WSU. Ran the mile indoors w/a class mate paced him to a PR 5:19. Was way fun.

Met up with Jon Hislop from my house and ran up into North Ogden to do some hill sprints. I feel for me that Hills are my weakest part of running. So hopefully in the next 4 weeks before St. George I can gain a little turn over running some hills.
