| I took a vacation day and drove to the Timpooneke trailhead to get a training run in. I summitted Mt. Timpanogos, 14.25 miles with 4800 feet of elevation gain/loss. Felt good through the whole run (with strategic walks). I passed quite a few hikers and they were surprized that an 'old guy' could run so much of the trail. It was a bit overcast which kept the heat down. On the run down, the skies opened up and 3/8" diameter hail pelted me. Dang, it hurt. I found refuge under a tall pine, just where you want to be during a thunder storm. I think I'm ready for Saturday (Crazy Bob's Bairgutsman). By doing this I also became one of the TURDS, a Facebook group started by Davy Crockett. To qualify one has to summit Mt. Timpanogos and finish an ultra-length race. The acronym represents 'Timpanogos Ultra Running Dudes'. |

| Second year running Bairgutsman. I got stuck behind a long line of slower runners on the first part of the single track. It took me 14 minutes longer to get up the hill (4800 feet of verticle) than last year. I made up seven minutes of that on miles 5-10.25, so I as happy with that. I had invited quite a few of the neighborhood runners to run the race, three of them took me up on it. We all had a great time. One of them, Lon Stevens, finished in 2:40:23, 33rd overall. This was his first trail race. There were thunder storms all around the area which cleared the air and cooled it down. By the 6:00 AM start, the storms were gone. The wet spring left us with many more short scrub oaks with their skin-tearing branches across the trail. My legs are pretty torn up. The motto of this race is appropriately "Conquer Thyself". It is definately an exercise in determination. |

| Run up Three Mile Creek Canyon. My wife joined me for the last mile and RAN the whole way (picture me excited!). She had walked up the road paralleling the creek and met me at the trail/road intersection on my way down. She said it was the longest she has ever run. |

| 5 mile up Three Mile Creek Canyon. Second time this week my wife ran a mile down the trail along the creek with me. She even wore the waist pack with water bottle I gave her a year ago. I'm pensively optomistic. |

Running on Wolf Mountain was amazing. The N.U.T.S. folks were well organized with great volunteers. Picture perfect day. I fat fingered my Garmin at the start and didn't look at it until the aid station, still read all zeros, so I wasn't able to judge time/distance. The course for the 5K started with a ski lift ride. I was surprized that the trail had so many uphill climbs. As I approached the finish I saw 39+ minutes and I thought, well at least its not 40. Then I realized it was 39:58. With the Garmin working I know I could have pushed it a bit harder. Ended up 16th out of 34, 2nd in AG.
Later in the evening I hit the Three Mile Creek trail. My wife met me later and we power walked a 1-1/8 mile up the canyon and ran back down. 7 miles plus the race for 10.1 total. A great end to the day. |

| Box Elder County Fair 5K. 2 mile easy warm-up, registered and waited for the start. Good turn out with a lot of high school runners. I ran at, for me, a good pace with a decent kick at the end to keep from getting passed by the women's 50-59 AG winner. First place in the 50-59 AG, complete with ribbon and trophy. My wife asked if I was going to carry the trophy around all day and I told her I had considered it. Entry fee? Free. That was nice. Nicely run event. Came home and ran 5 more miles on the trails. Hot and really windy, but overall a great day running.
