Well, this was a bummer race.  Today is Dec. 31st and I'm just getting around to writing this up, so it probably won't be much.  The marathon this year was going ok until around 10 miles, then I started feeling sick.  Instead of dealing with all the sickness and recovery I took the easy way out and decided to not finish the race.  I've only had 1 other DNF in all my years of running and that was a 5000m back in college.  Anyway, I just struggled today period.

Ran over to Hurricane Elementary on 600 North, then came back through the park.  I felt pretty good until the last mile when I was in desperate need of a bathroom.

Ran up the La Verkin Twist trail for 3 miles, hit 26:00 going up.  Coming back I was hoping to just hit 24:00, ended up at 21:17, so felt pretty good about that.

Meet up with Mike, Bill, Art, and Ken? (one of Mike's neighbors) We drove up to the top of Snow Canyon State Park, then took it easy for the first few miles down the canyon, then we started to pick it up a bit around the ranger station until Snow Canyon Parkway (6:20's)  At mile 5 I picked it up pretty good and did a two mile tempo back on Snow Canyon Parkwary (5:58, 6:48) then an easy two back to Mike's, pretty good run overall.  I'm excited to run the Snow Canyon Half in a few weeks, if everything works out with the baby and McKinzie's wedding.

Sunny had our baby girl this morning.  Joslin Ellie 8 lbs 9 oz, 20 inch.  She was born at 7:10 am.  I didn't run last night and didn't get a run in today either.  Oh well, more important things.  I did go to lunch with Bill.

Did the La Verkin Loop 3 miles easy this morning.  Ok my weight has ballooned this week with the birth of the baby and all the celebrating.  I need to get back on track next week and get moving in the other direction, with my weight especially.

Did another 4 miles this afternoon, went from the house over to the bridge and back.

Ran over to Nephi's Twist, then up the monster hill and back down La Verkin Twist.  First 3 miles average was 8:00, then the next was closer to 8:57.  The mile up the hill walking really killed me.

Twisted my ankle really bad this morning playing basketball.  It was really dumb, came down on Paul's foot after a shot.  This is really bad timing with Sunny and the baby needing so much help right now.
