Total Distance

13.50

6.5 miles in the morning

7 miles this evening

Both runs felt good. My ankle is still sore from rolling it a few days ago. My food intake the last week and a half is out of control. It's not helping me lose the 4lbs I gained the week after the marathon. I would like to get back to race weight by next Saturday for the Butch Cassidy 10k. If I can continue to feel good between now and then I think I'll be able to PR in the 10k- I guess we will see.

Clyde, Obviously there are many factors, but what time are you shooting for at Butch?

Well I'd like to go sub 32:45- but we will see. The race starts out downhill for a couple miles and then rolls on dirt the rest of the way. So I'm not sure a PR is doable. But if I feel good the day of the race I'll go for broke for the first time all year because I'm not trying to get ready for a racel. I'll gamble a little and push it.

Foot in my mouth-

I just looked up the times from last year and Hobie ran it in 33:30 or so. It must not be as fast as I thought it was. New goal time around 34-35 ish.

Although if Hobie is there I may try and jump on with him and see how far I can hold it. Although that could cost me later on in the race.

Just ask him to pace you for two miles. He does not mind a slow warm-up. In fact, it would be great if you could start training with him. He lives in La Verkin - check to see if he is in the phone book, if not look up Shane Clinger, he would know his number.

High food intake is OK as long as it is good quality.

Well this race was actually my first 10K after my 9th grade cross-country season and I ran it in 38 something (soooooo long ago!) If you are warmed up well and use the first few miles on the road's downhill you can set yourself up for a good time. I doubt Hobie had much of a challenge or need to go that hard last year.
