10.1 mile run this morning with Steven. We met up at his house early and ran down to the Dixie Center and back. It was a little chilly but still a very nice morning. After the run I had to look at his sprinkler system that has been leaking all winter. What a muddy mess! Anyways it shouldn't be too hard of a fix and I'm glad about that. Club run this evening if your in town stop on by at 6 p.m. at the store.

10.3 mile run this evening with the club. We started out with Bill, Dave F. and his brother. Then Bill and I pressed ahead and Bill turned at the seven mile turn. I went down past SC high to the park where I usually have to go potty... and had to again so I'll now call it "potty park" and then I just turned around and ran back to the store that same way.  Finished at an avg of 6:56 pace for the run after going nice and easy for the first few. Really starting to feel the "MOJO" coming back from last fall. The last 3 miles or so today was below 6:30 pace and it felt effortless. I've had some really good runs this week and am feeling stronger than ever. Hope to continue to make some good progress without any setbacks.

I wish I could be there tonight for the club run. I am coaching Dixie Dashers Track club from 4:45 till 6:00. I have been pretty consistant with my 2 a days. My body will come around to making that the norm. 6 mi. in the morning, 7 in the evening. What's your next race?

Ken- good job breaking down that "wall" in your training. It will go far in you marathon racing. My next real race isn't until Ogden marathon in May. Although I'll run the Run4Kids this weekend as a tempo workout. Kind of like the laps we did over at the Dixie Center.

You guys are amazing. Even though I don't post much it is fun to read about your achievements. Thanks for the glimmer of hope with my weight issue!!!
