Worked late last night.  I spent about 4 hours helping someone that was stuck.  Crazy guy went off road, in the sand, without four wheel drive.  I almost had him out, but he didn't know how to drive when being towed.  I ended up getting stuck myself and then we both worked on my vehicle for awhile.  We must have collected every piece of sagebrush with in a 1/4 mile just the build up a road enough to get some traction.  Between using the high lift jake, killing all the sage brush in sight to make a road and shoveling with our hands, we both finally made it out.  I was so dehydated by the time we were done and of coarse it was dark.   All I could think about the whole time was how it was going to effect my run in the morning. 

I was so tired this morning I didn't run.  I'm going to go out this afternoon in the heat of the day, I'm sure I'll suffer for sleeping in. 

Did a 10 miler this afternoon, it was way too hot!!!!  I carried water with me and there was a little wind, so I didn't pass out and die.  Now I know why I run in the morning.  I feel bad for all those crazy runners in St. George, now thats hot.

Cheston,

You will get points in heaven! Carefull about running in the day. Take that Camelback if you have one. Run out to lake powell and jump in. How is the sock working out?
