Decide--Commit--Succeed

Very wack legs today but not as wack as they were after provo river half. So we keeped it at the very slow  turtle pace until we feel better. This week will be my last big milage week and then head into the taper for SGM. On sat I want to do at least 20 plus we will see how things go with the recovery. I finished with 200 crucnhes.

As I headed out the door for my run the skys werelooking like rain. By the time I got to gu corner it was coming down kind od moderate. It actually felt good and made for a very comfortable run. My legs felt alot better today and I decided to pick the pace up little more than yesterdays. Don't want to post the mile splits, might be a bit embarrassing. I enjoyed runing in the rain, it was a great run. catch ya tomorrow.

Just a nice easy run and enjoying the nice fall weather and getting excited for SGM. I'm worried about Wendy, she is in Houston this week with my daughter Haylie who had a baby boy last week. 8lbs-4oz. Hurricaine Ike is getting to close. Wendy is supposed to fly out sat morn which is the time Ike is going to come ashore. Pray for her and my daughter's family.

I just had time to get in a 5 miler I need to pick up the girls from there dance class. It looks like Wendy and Haylie & Grandkids found a flight tomorrow morn at 8. It looks like Houston will take a direct hit from hurricaine Ike. It has been a nerve racking day to try and find a flight out of Houston. My Son-law will be staying behind to try and ride it out, his work needs to have him close by. So we are praying that he will do will and get through the storm ok. I hope and pray that the people in the Houston area will be ok. The next few days are going to be scary for our son-in-law, hang tuff David.

Yahoo it's tapper time !!!!

We made it the big tapper. And so far no real injuries. Just the usuall aches and pains of running.

Was able to run with my bro Clay for most of the long run today. We have not been able to do that for a while our schedules seemed to work out today and it was very injoable. Felt ok for the run still kind of smarting from last sat half marathon but we hung with it and it turned out to be a great run.I still seem to hit a little wall around mile 18 to 19 and have to really concentrate to work through it, but once we get passed it I do ok. From here on out plan on reduced mile and let this old body repaire and get strong for SGM. Bring it on baby, bring it on.

On a very blessed note my son-in-law made it through hurricaine Ike. Lots of flooding and wind damage but still alive and no injuries. As a family we feel very blessed today. Massive storm so hard to even comprehend.
