| Ran a 1/2 marathon distance on the beach in Myrtle Beach, SC.Got up early and it was wonderful. Sprinkled a bit at first and was overcast as the sun came up. I ran south into the wind, thinking it would be better for the return trip. The clouds cleared and I had full sun beating down on me for the last few miles. I was wishing I had that headwind then. I'll switch directions tomorrow morning. |

In the morning I ran on the beach while my wife walked the boardwalk. She did 4 miles and I did 7. As she was about to finish, she waved for me to join her on the boardwalk. She wanted me to run with her to her finish. It was a short distance, but we enjoyed it. She likes not running out of air at sea-level. This evening I got out again for an easy 6 mile run.

| I found a local 5k in Nashville. Ran 2 miles early am then left for the race. By the start time of 8:30am, the heat and humidity were horrible. Nice course entirely of rolling hills. The conditions really drained me, no speed. Fun race, but my time was slow even for me. Good news is I placed 3rd (of 8) in my AG. The men's and women's winners both said their times were over a minute slower than their usuals. I asked how people train in the south. The replies were early morning or after dark. One lady said this was her last race of the summer. |

I had a great day. Started early with a 14 mile run up Perry Canyon along Three Mile Creek to the old abandoned mine then ran the switchbacks up to the ridge and over to the upper bench road to Mathias Canyon. Middle of June and I'm still wearing long sleeves and gloves. Beautiful run, wildflowers in bloom and the hills are green.

| 5 miles at dusk on the canal road to Sardine Canyon. My wife even ran part of it with me! When I got back I asked how she felt she did. Her reply "It's still not fun.". She admitted to covertly inserting running in her walking routine. Maybe someday I'll get her to agree to a 5k (hey, it could happen). |

| Early morning run up Three Mile Creek in Perry Canyon, then hit the switchbacks to the upper bench. While running I saw smoke coming from the next canyon ahead. I ran to it and saw flames, so I sprinted. Just as I rounded a bend in the trail where the fire was I scared the stuffing out a boy and his dad cooking their breakfast. They we camping there. I explained that I saw smoke and flame, but no people and came to put out the fire. They just looked at me like I was crazy so I excused myself and resumed running. Lots of hills, wildflowers and six creek crossings. |

| This was my 3rd ultra marathon, 28 miles with 7261 feet of elevation gain/loss. The weather was perfect for running. I saw and greeted a few friends before the start, then we were off and running. The run up Dry Canyon was uneventful, everything felt good. The pack had spread out considerably by the first aid station and soon I was running alone, occasionally seeing others ahead of me. I came upon some snowy, and muddy, spots in the trail and at one point slipped and fell on my rear. After the initial jolt, I thought it felt quite nice to sit in the snow, so I lingered for a moment. I got to aid station #2, which is the starting point for the out and back to the summit of Mt. Logan. Jim Skaggs had just returned from the summit at that point. I started towards the summit and saw Ryan Lauck and later his wife, Lindsay. Near the summit a volunteer was checking runners in and he told me I was in 91st place (of 100 starters). After leaving him, I had 'snow encounter' #2. At the top of a snow covered slope, I slipped again. This time I landed and slid about 50 feet down the hillside. It was quite fun. The view from the summit was amazing, all of Cache Valley and the surrounding mountains were beautiful. I returned to the aid station still feeling great. Every hour I took an s-cap which kept the cramps away. I carried a hand-held 22 oz. bottle and another 22 oz. in my waist pack. This was plenty to get me from one aid station to the next. The next portion went around the north side of the mountain on a long, and a bit boring dirt road, but soon the course took a turn onto single track. It was quite technical and I had a blast running through the woods. Cool breezes offset the sunny day. I finally arrived at the last aid station, refilled my bottle and left for the finish. This was tough. All downhill and technical. My quads were screaming. With about 3 miles left, the cool breeze of the higher elevation was gone. It was hot and I was tired. Finally, the end was in sight and I ran to the finish line. 90th place with a really slow time, but I was happy with the completion of another ultra. |
