12.3 mile run this morning. Same as the prior two mornings. Not a bad run. It was a little cooler out this morning, once I got to the golf course there was ice forming on the sprinklers. I'll be working down in Mesquite today so I'm going to try and run in off Utah hill this afternoon/ evening on the way home.

8.2 mile run this evening. Well it was a long day down in Mesquite and I was planning on running 10 or so miles back into Ivans on the way home... however we ate at a casino buffet before leaving town and one thing I really struggle with is saying no to free food in mass quantities. So I did partake and then had to wait a few hours to run. Once home I decided to run from my house down past Costco and onto the river trail down to the other trail that drops under St. James place and then back up to my in-laws house. It looked like it should be a pretty good run... Well, well, well Clyde pays the price again. The buffet hadn't even began to digest especially the pork tamales. Again I dry heaved and felt the pain in my stomach. I used Jedi mind tricks to try and keep it down and not spew all over the bike path. At one point I just had to stop and take deep breaths and wait a few before I could go on. Then when I got to River Road up at the end of St. James Place the Jedi stuff wasn't working any more and I had to stop running and just walk it out for about .2 miles. Finished up and just laid on the floor at my in-laws for about an hour trying to decide why I just don't say no to drugs ( drugs being the buffet).

Anyways another lesson learned at least until next time.

Well, I'm glad the force was with you for a while at least. Hope your "next time" isn't in the near future!

I don't think I was worthy of the force today. Even the force of gravity wasn't really working to keep that stuff down.

It did not work for you because everyone knows Jedi mind tricks "only work on the weak-minded." And they do not work on Jabba The Hut either.

Soo true Scott! Soo ture!

That was good for a morning laugh. Excellent imagery, you just made my day... :)

Clay I'm glad my suffering could bring joy into someones life. Looking back I just have to shake my head and laugh to. I don't know if I'll ever get it with food.
