Total Distance
18.00

12.2 slow miles this morning around the overpass loop. When I went to bed last night my legs were crampy and I thought I had about a 20% chance of running this morning. I ended up being able to get out and make it through the run but I struggled. I'm guessing the hill workout really trashed the system. Plus the diaphragm was tight this morning for the first time since the Thursday before WBR, and my shoulder is really jacked up. Anything else...

Looking forward to going to Torrey this weekend and getting out of this blasted heat. I'll most likely keep all the miles nice and easy the rest of the week, and only do the 5K if I'm feeling very spry Saturday morning.

5.8 miles on the treadmill. The Spectrum web site said it was 119, mine said it was 112 and I'm guessing out on the blacktop it was even hotter. So I stayed in and hit the machine up. I had to cut it a little short because I'm going to the driving range with the young men... that should be fun in the heat? I may jump back on when we get done or maybe I'll just pack it in for the day.

Clyde, you sound like a walking bruise. But hey, still managed to crank out over 12! Thats why your the man. Good job.

You should call April. Are they doing the 5k this weekend?

Mike- Your the man for getting back out. It will be nice to see you at a club run sometime soon!

Mik'L- I don't know for sure if they are doing the 5k. I should call April but most likely I won't.

The dogs made me stop at the park on the way home from the office. Crazy little girls.

Getting out the door and getting in your miles, even when you don't feel good- that is what makes a good runner a great runner. Good job sticking it out. And trust me- Monday's hills took a lot out of all of us. Stay hard!

Kamm- Thanks for the comments. Good to have you out running with us. Keep it up. I'll be out of town for the rest of the week but will catch you guys on Monday night.

You seem to having this cramping problem lately. I get this sometimes and take a supplement called MaMa calm by Peter Gillham's Natural Vitality. Now I know you are not an expecting or new mom but it is a really good supplement w/ Magnesium, vit c, zinc, and folic acid. I think the blend is what help the muscle cramping and it helps you sleep as well.

My son asked me if you were mad in your picture. I said no just

consentrating(sp?) really hard.

Josse- Thanks, I'll go try and find some of that. Maybe like at the nutrition store? Is that the best place?

That picture was taken at the end of the Ogden Marathon and I was actually pretty ticked off or frustrated.
