Clyde's Comeback!

12.3 mile morning run. Regular overpass loop. Really slow and Mondayish this morning. Had to take a pit stop at the Washington park. I kind of wish I was in Boston this morning- The last two years we've been out there and it's a lot of fun. Good luck today Walter and all the rest of the bloggers.

7.8 mile run this afternoon. Got out about 4:30 p.m and did the standard GS/ Powerline loop. Had some major stomach issues from lunch and had to make a trail side visit. I'm not going to do any kind of big workouts this week- no speed or anything. Just try to keep the weekly total over 100. I'm going to be busy with a lot of work and play.

12.2 mile morning run. Mostly the standard overpass loop just a short diversion. Up at 4 a.m today and out the door. I had to get it in early so I could join one of my buddies for a morning of fishing at Sand Hollow. I guess this might end up as a fishing week.

8.1 mile loop up to water tank and around industrial. Overall I'm just not in the zone like I was a couple weeks ago. I have to talk myself into every workout and then when I get out stuff hurts and there is no rhythm at all. I'm pretty sure it's time for a good message.

On a good note we went fishing this morning and for the first hour and a half it was dead then for the next couple it was "hot". I pulled in a few and the climax was that I hooked a really big large mouth bass it fought like a warrior and snapped my line when I got it to the surface. Most likely it was the biggest black bass I've ever had on. Fun, but a bummer it got off. It was fun hanging with Rocky and Craig this morning.

14.3 mile morning run. Overpass loop with extension up sand hill to powerline and around the top of Middleton. 7:11 avg pace this morning. Which equals to a pretty good effort on that course. I felt a little more engaged and in control of the flow today- which is a good thing because I'm not sure how many more crappy runs I could stand.

8.4 mile run this evening. I saw a desert turtle tonight- the first one in 2008. Over to GS and up the sandy poweline trail and around the top part of Middleton in 59:53. Pretty good time for that track. Plus the long mile or so up the sandy trail there was also a pretty good headwind.

14.3 mile morning run. Same loop as yesterday. I felt surprisingly fresh this morning all things considered. I didn't wear the garmin today so theres no date to back up what felt like a pretty good run.

No running this afternoon. I drove up to Torrey to start my weekend fishing trip on the way to the Bullfrog marina at Lake Powell. Anyways the wind here was gal force and it's very cold. So I'll just wait until we get to the lake and try to get something in. Most likely my week is going to go to pot as far as mileage goes. But I only get one of these good trips a year for the most part.

A good run today on the way to Lake Powell. I got dropped out a couple miles above a town called Ticabo on the way to Bullfrog marina and then ran from there to the boat ramp. It was good downhill for about 2.5 miles at the start and 2.5 miles at the end but most of the rest was a good hill climb. I wasn't really planning on doing tempo pace but just fell into it and kind of got in the zone and ran the whole run at 6:15 pace with all the uphill. I was pretty proud of myself after because after driving it back it looked tough. Anyways I felt great this morning and it was one of the best runs for me this year in one of my favorite places.

The fishing today was rotten... I only caught one and nobody else caught one.

After sleeping out under the stars I got up and did a 10 mile run this morning right down by the Bullfrog marina. I did some laps on this little loop and then back to the parking lot. The run wasn't as glamorous this morning as it was yesterday but I got it in and out of the way for to clear up the rest of the day at the lake.

Fishing today was great. I honestly lost track of how many fish I caught. We got up into this canyon south of Bullfrog and really jumped on a bunch of Walleye fish. It was fun because you don't catch Walleye every day and they are one of the very best to eat. I'm going to have fun with the BBQ when I get back home.

Now I have to write a talk for church tomorrow because I'm a "guest" speaker here in the Torrey ward- even though I grew up here.
