Total Distance

2.00

6 mile brisk hike up and back to Calf Creek. This weekend was just a killer (youth conference with the young men and young women). We drove over 600 miles from Friday afternoon to Saturday afternoon to the Castle Valley play and to Torrey and back home the long way to hit Calf Creek. I worried all week that time and energy would become a factor later in the week and it did. Friday night we didn't get in until actually 12:30 a.m Saturday morning and then we had to leave by 8 a.m. So there just wasn't time to run in the morning. Then after a long day of hiking and driving I got home and my diaphragm is really tight. So tight that it's hard to breath just sitting at home. So long story short I'm a slacker today and will have to cut the week short by 10 miles. It's really not a big deal but for some reason it just bugs me to death. Hopefully next week when I have to take the scouts to the lake I can get through my mileage... I'm worried about that one too. BUMMER!

Good job this week Clyde. I'm sure the mileage thing is bugging you, but those are the hardest decisions sometimes, choosing between good and good, and in this case just not having enough hours in the day to fit it all in. You've been training at such a high level now a day or two of rest isn't going to set you back.

I forgot to mention one thing. As I was giving Bill a ride back up to his car this morning. He did just like you did last week, stuck his head out to yell at some women and off went his nice white hat. Anyway, he jumped out of the truck to run back and get it, but I think one or two cars may have ran over it.

What are the plans for Monday's Big? Logan has early practice; so we can go super early or we were thinking maybe even evening 'ish. Tell me what you guys think.

Katey and I have conflicting schedules tomorrow morning and we only have the one car so Dave and I were planning on going at 7pm Monday night at the Dixie Center.

92 miles, is nothing to feel bad about! I love how hard all you elite buggers are on yourselfs. Now quit being lazy and get running!
