10 easy miles today.  Felt fresh and eager to run.  I skipped yesterday and slept in this morning.  Luckily there were a lot of clouds this morning to make up for me being lazy.

10 easy miles today, thinking about doing some speed tomorrow.   Got to run in the fog this morning, kind of cool.

10 easy miles.  I've been packing and preparing for our move to Bullfrog.  Running hasn't been my number one priority lately.

10 miles.  Like I said, I've been really focused on this move and all the work related training and what not that goes with it.  I really need to get in a strong week of running regardless.  I'll try and make this Saturday my last long run out here.  I'll probably go 18.  I've put in thousands of miles out here over the last 3 years.  It's going to be bitter sweet leaving.

Nothing to brag about, although I did get up at 5:00 a.m. which I haven't done for awhile.  I don't often work the morning shift, but today I had to, so I was forced to get up earlier.

Long run today of 18 miles.  I felt pretty dang strong and fresh the whole way through.  I imagine it has something to do with skipping a few day this week.  Sure, I feel guilty and a little lazy, but I put that extra energy to good use by packing up and getting ready to  move.  We load up on Wednesday and leave on Thurday.  I'm pretty excited.  It's hard to stay focused when you've only got one thing on your mind.

10 easy miles this morning.  It was most likely my last run out here before the big move.  I tried to take it all in,  the senary, memories and the route, that I've ran thousands of miles on.  Only having one route to run on can get old, and it really has.  I'm excited to be able to have more options.  I'll have a lake in my back yard and I have a road bike.  I think I'll try an ironman in the future. 

You guys probably wont hear from me in a couple weeks, but I'll still be running.  It's been great running with everyone out here at the races.  I've made some good friends.  I don't imagine I'll see any of you for a long time, unless it's at the St. George Marathon.  Keep running and stay injury free.

10 easy mile at Bullfrog, Lake Powell.  Man it's hot out here.  I did a run along the shore line and at the end of my run jumped in the lake, which is about 80 degrees.  There are a lot of places to run out here, a lot of dirt trail as well.  I think I'm going to like training out here.  I'll just have to start getting up earlier.

10 miles.  I started at 6:00 a.m. thinking I'd beat the heat, it was still hot.  I don't how you St. George guys do it.  I was sweating like crazy from the first 1/4 mile to the end.  I think I'll go jump in the lake today. 

I'm getting ready for my first busy, crazy weekend out here doing boating patrol.  I here Labor Day weekend can get pretty busy out here. 

The family is fitting in pretty good.  My girls have made lots of new friends and our family has been invited over for bar-b-q's just about every night.  So far so good.
