It appears the flu afflicting my family for the past week has finally landed on me. I was pretty miserable at work all afternoon. Bugger.

| AM- 10. Not very fast. Not very pretty. Didn't quit.
Went to PT again this afternoon. The therapist said he was very pleased with the improvement, and gave me some new exercises. Then he was interested in ultras so asked me questions about them for over an hour.

| AM- It was chilly this morning, below freezing, so it might have been smart to wear tights, but my legs survived. Whereas yesterday I struggled through 5 miles, today I felt good- first 2 miles were 14:40, and I think I maintained pace till the last mile. The only sore thing was my quads, which I've been beating to pulp 2 or 3 times a day with my physical therapy. Ran 15.5 miles total in 1:52 or so.
This is my first week above 60 miles since... let's see... August. Wow, that's pretty sad. Nowhere to go but up, at least. And my 8 extra pounds is slowly coming off, aided by the flu.

| PM- Paris Mtn with Barry. Only my second trail run in 4 months. While I can chug through road runs these days, apparently taking this much time off the trails results in loss of trail legs. I struggled the whole time, working harder than usual on the uneven terrain and crawling up the hills. Pretty pathetic. But it was great to be out there. Weather was great, too- mid 60's, quite nice. 11 miles or so in 1:50.

I'm being reminded that when I'm getting back in shape, roughly 1/3 of the runs are good/great, 1/3 are mediocre, and 1/3 are terrible. It will be this was for another month or more, I imagine.

| AM- upper 30's, blustery wind, drizzly- perfect weather for a winter SC run. My legs felt spunky right from the start as I ran Georgia Road area, my normal, rolling hills route. I've been listening to the Mormon Channel podcasts "Conversations" recently, which make the runs pass quickly. First road run I've worn GPS in 6+ months. I was moving pretty well, hitting the half marathon mark in 1:34 or so. My last 2 miles were about 6:45 pace, which I think is pretty darn good supposing they were net-uphill with a headwind and I felt like I was slowing down. I'm sure I'll feel terrible in some upcoming runs but it was nice to feel great today. Now I just have to work on adding distance/time back and incorporate more trails. Finished just over 15 miles in 1:45-ish (I think I averaged just under 7 min pace) with about 1000 ft climbing.

| PM- Water main broke today so there were no showers for a while at the gym. They got it fixed mid afternoon, so went running then with Fedor and Aaron. 10 miles. One bad part was the water was technically restored, but not the hot water. Let's just say the shower was very brief and invigorating.

| AM- went to PM to watch my friends run the PM races I've done most years. I ran almost all the trails in the park in the process, even the little out-n-backs, though realized I missed half the lake loop. Oh well. It was chilly and I generally felt good. Longest run by an hour in 5 months. Finished with 17.5 miles and 2300 ft climbing in 2:45 or so.
I plan to stabilize my mileage between 75-80 for a month or so, hoping to get my knee better. I keep doing my therapy multiple times per week- it's improving, but still not great.

Lunch- 7.5 on a windy day. At least it wasn't too cold, upper 40's.
Knee isn't happy today. I actually cut my second PT session short. Gotta get ready for Western. 3 friends from SC bought tickets in the past week to come to California to crew/pace.

| I was supposed to go to Paris mtn with Barry and Seth. However, my all day headache worsened all day until, while driving to PM, a sneeze basically caused my head to explode and brought tears to my eyes. I finally admitted the pain would not allow a run so headed home, where I've sat in a dark room all evening. Goose egg for the day.

| 4 of the 6 at home have some stomach bug with either vomitting or the runs, and I'm one of them. I still went to work, not too wisely, but barely had any appetite or energy and didn't dream of running. Tomorrow doesn't look too good, either. Hopefully things will pick up by Saturday. Bummer of a week. In unrelated news, we plan to induce Marci next Thursday if she doesn't deliver before then, so this is my last week with 4 kids.

| PM- Paris Mtn with Barry- we started early so didn't even need headlamps. As bad as I felt yesterday, I felt great today- amazing how quick you can bounce back. We spent most of the times railing against government, wars, etc- the usual libertarian arguments. Of course, bacon was discussed, too. 10 miles in 1:37. Threw the shoes in the trash after, too- worn out and my arches are starting to hurt in them. They were my first pair of trail M2's. Don't worry, I've got more than a dozen other PI shoes still in the box.

Finished 15 miles in 1:44 or so. Didn't even feel hard till about 6:15 pace. I'll count it all as MP, which is what it is these days.

| AM greenville got a solid coating of ice last night, probably .3 to .4 inches. Working from home but took a run using my pretty new MicroSpikes, my first real ice run. They worked awesome, with no slipping even on solid ice and steep hills. I don't think I would want to wear them for an ultra as they would be heavy but they work great. Just wish I had bought them in Utah rather than waiting for South Carolina. 9 miles or so. | |

Wore my HR monitor, avg was 172 which seems higher than I expected.

| AM- I'm home all week on paternity leave. Took my mom to the airport at 5:15 am, then ran an hour. After taking an hour break to get my 2 oldest ready for school and drive the carpool, I ran another 50-odd minutes. Nice day for a run, much warmer than recent well-below freezing temps. Around 50 deg and light drizzle. Felt ok, slower the second half (I don't advise splitting a run in two with an hour break). 15 miles.

| Most of the country would call our weather a light dusting of snow that isn't even sticking to the roads, maybe 1/4" snow total so far. In South Carolina, we call it a snow day with no school. Last week, the kids only attended school two days due to weather, and both were delayed start. I'm betting we have 2-3 more snow days this week. SMH.
PM- 10 miles on a snow day. Felt pretty sluggish and wasn't sure I'd make it past 4 miles. Rather than run my endless loops of the soccer fields, I headed out into distant neighborhoods so it wouldn't be possible to stop short of an hour. On this snow day, the roads were dry and there was basically no snow even on the grass. At least the kids didn't have to go to school ;)

| PM- We are supposed to get 5-8 inches of snow tomorrow, which will mean the schools will shut down the rest of the week. That will make for 4 snow days and 2 delayed starts in the past 9 school days. I wanted to get in a BW on dry ground. 6 miles warmup, then 6 miles doing laps on the hilly bike path around the soccer fields. Splits were 6:40, 6:39, 6:35, 6:23, 6:12, and 6:07. Wore my HR monitor- not sure it was accurate, as it said my HR dropped to 175 on the downhills but was 205-210 on the uphills, peaking at 213 on the last lap. I'm pretty sure my heart doesn't really go that fast, but I was working hard. Finished with 15 miles in 1:47 with 900 ft climb.

| School is delayed Friday, even though the roads are 100% dry and snow is melted by evening Thursday.
In summary, in the past 2 weeks, we had 1 holiday, 4 snow days, 3 delayed days, and 2 regular days, in response to one storm with .3 inch ice, one storm that left a light snow dusting, and one storm that snowed .5 inch. Less than 1 inch total snow/ice. Oh yeah, plus a state-wide state of emergency. Amazing.
AM- 8 easy before taking the kids to school. My easy pace today was sub-7:30, while yesterday was a struggle to break 8:00 pace. Funny how that goes.
PM- 6 ez. Pretty sluggish.

| I think I'm actually figuring out a running schedule for the year. I'm going to sign up for Promise Land 50k end of April as my only test race pre-Western. Eric Grossman has repeatedly told me it's his favorite race anywhere, very pretty. Then June is Western States, obviously. In the fall, I'm leaning towards Barkley Fall Classic in September (winner is auto-entry to Barkley, a valuable thing). Maybe do JFK 50 mile as a fall add-on. Nothing for sure, but those are where I'm leaning right now.
AM- Out for my first 20 miler since... Aug? Sept? Windy and chilly. I was hungry and thirsty by mile 5 so it was a good bonk run. Ran some new roads in the Georgia Road area. Very tired by the end but still moving 7-7:30 pace, with last mile 6:50. 20 miles in 2:28 with 1300 ft climb.
Wore my HR monitor again. Avg 175, with often 180-190 on uphills and max of 206. This seems very high, but I took my pulse by hand once and it was above 180. Does this seem normal to everyone? My resting HR is 40-50, depending on fitness.

| PM- Left work early and did 4 miles solo at Paris Mtn before meeting Seth and Barry. We did the regular route except I convinced them to go up and then down Kanuga twice. I wanted to beat up my legs on the downhill. The second time was really quite fast, especially the second half of it when Barry was right behind me. We were going all out, mile race effort. That mile was a 6:34, over technical terrain with lots of turns/switchbacks. It then started to rain the last 5 miles and got dark just before the car, plus was a chilly 40 deg or so. I finished with 16 miles and 2100 ft climbing in just over 2:30. Good run, tired and hungry by the end. One gu was not enough calories for an evening 150 minute run.

| AM I had planned to do two short runs, but then got a late start and wanted to get home early on account of it being our 11th anniversary and all, so just did one run. Then I figured as long as I was going long, I should do a little speed work even though I was tired. 4 miles warmup, then did 7:00 pace and increased each mile till end was 6:15 pace. 15 total in 103 min or so. Watched Mike and Mike 15th anniversary the whole time. |

| Very, very busy day, but was able to sneak out for just over an hour mid-afternoon for a 9 mile run. Then I showered and was immediately out the door again.
I haven't had a long trail run in the mtns for over 6 months. This is not good for my Western States training. And next Saturday doesn't look promising, either, as we have youth temple baptisms. I'll go there straight after work at 4:30 pm and will probably get home just before midnight.

| Lunch- after 3 straight weeks of increasing miles, I figure I needed a down week. Losing a morning hour to daylight savings made it that much better to sleep in (or not get up more than an hour earlier). 10 miles with a couple guys at lunch. Knee was slowly getting better but has stagnated, maybe getting worse.

| PM- At this point, I've basically given up on racing Western States and want to just be able to complete it. No matter how my knee is feeling, that means I need to get in a long run, as I haven't gone more than 3 hrs since Sept. No time for long run tomorrow so did one today, with lots of company. Went to the familiar stomping grounds of Paris Mtn and ran a short 7 mile loop with Barry and Seth. As we approached the cars, Aaron and Lynn were just starting (this was planned). We all ran up Sulfur where B and S turned home. The other 3 of us ran the normal route except did a double Kanuga hill at my request (that's 3 straight runs with DK, a 400 ft climb in 1.1 miles). I only took 2 gu's the whole run and really started bonking at mile 16. It felt great to actually have very tired legs. Added a bit at the end and had 21 miles and 3000 ft in 3:25 or so. Avg HR 165.
Man, the drive home felt great with tired long-run sore legs. I love that feeling and it's been a long time since I've felt that way. I really hope my knee is tolerable tomorrow.

| Lunch- Dan asked me this morning if I wanted to do a workout. I was wary due to knee but he said he was feeling sluggish so I should be able to keep up. Ran to lake, did 7 loops of .86 miles, so about a 10k. 5:10, 5:17, 5:12, 5:06, 5:08, 5:04, 4:53, 35:53 total. That works out to 5:50-ish pace. I never would have guessed I could do any sub-6 miles, much less a sub-36 min 10k. First sub-6 miles since August. 10.5 miles total.
Last night I took Aspen to urgent care due to a bug bite that seemed to be causing nausea, headache, and stiffness. Today, Quincy has a fever and Zach is throwing up in massive quantities and frequency. His first one was while lying on my pillow, which is now in the garbage. Thank goodness for our waterproof mattress cover, at least. One of those days, I guess.

| PM- left work and drove straight to the Palmetto trail for a nice solo trail run up Hogback Mtn, with the nice hill of 2000 ft in 4 miles. It was mid-40's and windy the whole time, with rain the first hour, so a bit cool. Felt ok, a bit slow up the climb. I love the top ridge running (I thought it was super technical when I first arrived in SC, now it seems easy). I literally didn't see a single person the entire run, just some very nice views. With 2 miles to go, I stopped at the bottom of the big climb and ran back up .7 mile and 550 ft, just for kicks and giggles. Finished with 21 miles and 4600 ft climb in under 3:40. Next week I aim for 4 hrs. Knee felt pretty good, but quads are sore (which I wanted). I'll see how sore I am tomorrow to decide if I run or not. HR was lower today, 153 avg. Last mile was sub-7:30 despite pretty tired legs. I've still got a long ways to go to be ready for an ultra.
I did have a first-ever running experience when I stopped for a bathroom break halfway through and found I forgot my toilet paper. The leaves worked great.

| PM- Afternoon long run with Barry. He and I ain't too bright- we decided to run one of the hardest, slowest, most technical trails in the state. On the hottest day of the year (80 deg). At the hottest part of the day. After a day of work. Yeah, it was slow but great training.
We met at Table Rock state park. I've run here some but never gone to the namesake rock, so we went that way, along with TONS of other hikers. The trail up was much more technical than I expected, with some of it forcing us to walk/climb both up and down. Reached the overlook at 3.5 miles in 55 min (it was beautiful), then ran back to the junction with the Ridge trail. Once on the ridge trail, we would only see 2 people for the next 2 hours, climbing steadily to Pinnacle Mtn, the second highest point in the state. At this point we were 1:50 into the run but had gone 6.7 miles. We descended to FHT and ran a few miles on it.
At the 8 mile mark, I noticed we had climbed 4400 ft and descended 2900. That's a lot of vert, but it was downhill from here. We ran back to the parking lot and I dropped Barry off at the 3:15/13.5 mile mark. I ran another hour by myself with just over 5 miles, and I felt good- ran up the whole thing, even the steps we had walked up initially. Finished just before sunset with 19 miles in 4:10. Suunto says 5300 ft climbing, garmin says 6900 ft. Avg HR 160. Then had to drive home, arriving around 9 pm. Long day. Run link here.
My knee hurt every step of the run, but doesn't seem too much worse for the wear today. Taking it day by day for now.
Here's a few pictures.
Barry and I on top of Table Rock
Barry at Pinnacle Mtn
This is fairly easy trail for today, though much steeper than the camera makes it look (this trail drops 300 ft in under .2 mile)

| AM- still had a little quad soreness but much less than after last week's run. Knee seems ok. Wanted to do a little fast stuff today, but on the treadmill (flat bothers my knee less). 4 miles warmup, then started at 9.2 mph and increased .2 mph each mile, with 3 miles at 10 and the last at 10.2. So 8 total fast, then 1 cooldown.

| PM- Drove up to Dupont for a solo run after work. Some friends are running a 25k there tomorrow so I ran to the course and did it backwards, with some add ons. Lots of sweet singletrack out there. I was pretty darn tired by the end. Finished with 23 miles and 2600 ft climb in 3:35 or so, 143 avg heart rate. Only saw 5 people the entire time.
The drive home was eventful. I was driving down a windy, mountainous, rutted dirt road that is only a single lane wide. 5 miles down it, there was a full-size semi tractor towing a 53' Fedex trailer up this road. Of course, it didn't fit- the trailer started sliding off one side towards the creek while the cab was pressed against the mountain on the other side of the road. Yes, the road was completely blocked. I have no idea how they will get him out. I turned around and stopped by the fire station 10 miles later so they could send the sherriff. Added about an hour to my drive home. All I can say is, if you're driving a semi with full trailer, NEVER try to drive up a single lane dirt road. Even if your GPS tells you to. Common sense here, people.

| PM- Interesting day. Enjoyed watching the marathon and cheering for a work buddy who ran a strong 2:37, with very consistent split.
My foot has finally started to hurt less to the point that I decided to try a run today. I was very busy all day but finally was ready to head to the gym about 4 pm... just when a tornado warning sounded and we all had to go to shelter. Fortunately, the gym is one of the storm shelters, so I grabbed my bag and ran on the treadmill while 200 people lounged about. I did 6 miles with minimal pain, though we'll see how it feels tomorrow. I'm doubtful I'll run Promise Land this weekend, though. If I don't, it will be 4 straight races I register for and then DNS due to injuries since Sept (Grindstone 100, JFK 50, Georgia Death Race). Still going to the doc tomorrow to check it out, though.

| Lunch- ran 6 miles, felt ok. Then went to doctor's office. X-rays showed nothing, he thinks I just have some tendon inflamation of the Henry's Knot. I'm feeling much better but just have a bad feeling that trying to run 33 miles this weekend will overdo it and aggravate the foot. So, as much as I really wanted to do Promise Land, I'm planning to DNS. Bummer. That is 4 straight races I have DNS, and I will go into Western not having raced in over 10 months. Huh.

Then went camping after work with my 2 eldest daughters and went on a 2-3 mile hike with a bunch of running thrown in. The camping was great, with steady rain all morning that didn't stop us from another hour long hike, followed by a breakfast at Stax Original diner. Good morning.

I'll be in Atlanta for work the next 2 days. Might get some trails there along the Chattahoochee river.

Lunch- 10.5 miles. The weather will be warm this week- high increasing every day till Sat will be in the 90's and low in the 70's. Good Western States heat training. I also have the heat on in my car, and it got so hot my phone overheated.

| PM- I wanted to try to toughen my quads for Western plus do a long run as I won't get one this weekend. Drove to Paris Mtn and run up to Kanuga, where there is a 1.12 mile long hill that drops just over 400 ft. I ran down it somewhat hard then back up, 4 times. Down times were 8:48, 8:39, 8:20, 8:06. Aaron, Lynn, and Seth showed up near the end and joined me for the last one. After I finished, we had 5.5 miles back to the car but I was absolutely dead. I had developed a sore throat and felt generally a bit sick for the past day and this workout really killed me. Honestly, those miles felt like mile 80 of an ultra, which had me worried. We finished and I collapsed on the ground for a few minutes. By the time I got home, I was shivering uncontrollably and had a fever. I'm home sick today. At least I know why I felt so bad at the end there.
The run was 18 miles in 2:55 with 2500 ft climb. Now to rest and get better.

Then Aaron showed up and we ran the rest of the way together. Finished with 14.5 miles and 2000 ft climb in just under 2:30.

| Evening run 20 in the mountains. Worked all day then drove to Rocky Bottom. Ran 3 miles towards LV then turned onto a dirt road I had seen lots of strava foot traffic on. 7 miles later, it rejoined the FHT. I ran to Laurel Fork Falls, then back on FHT till the same road, went the other way for some exploring. Ended up finishing just before sundown with 3400 ft climbing in 2:45 or 2:50 and 20.5 miles. Only saw 4 people on the trail the entire time.

| Lunch- lake workout with Dan, the same one we did Mar 26 (when it was 20 deg cooler). 7 laps = 6 miles or so. Laps were 5:09, 5:07, 5:06, 5:09, 5:02, 5:06, 5:09, 35:50 total. This one was much harder, too- definitely hot. I was working hard from the get go and started dying on lap 4, so Dan ran wide on the curves for me to catch up. Monkey jumped on my back the last 600 yards. But we got it done, and faster than before. 10 or 10.5 miles total.

Repeated 2 more times, then half a lap more before the Honnette's arrived and I threw in the towel and ran back with them. Just one of those days. 15 miles and 2100 ft climb in just over 2.5 hrs, I think.

lunch 10 mile death march. Did ok the first 7 miles, a bit slow. Then fell apart and limped in at 8-8:30 pace. Wearing black long sleeve shirt didn't help.

Pm 40 min in a 190 deg sauna, plus 5 min in a steam room. Hot. Sweaty. Websites say to heat acclimate by starting at 15 min and build up to 45-60 min, so the fact I could stay a long time right at the start was encouraging. Of course, they also say to not start heat acclimating until 2-3 weeks pre race. | |

Got caught in the dark plus a hard rainstorm the last 10 or 15 min. I had my headlamp but batteries were low so I was glad I didn't need it more. Finished with over 18.5 miles and 4600 ft climb in 4:05 or so. Garmin said 5800 ft climb. I didn't see a single person on the trail during my entire run, not one person. Saw a bunch of squirrels, though. Got home after 10:30 pm.

Finished with 16 miles and 2200 ft in 2:40. Then went to the gym and spent an hour in the 190 deg sauna. So much sweat. Marci and all the kids were asleep by the time I got home, and they will be again tomorrow since I won't get home till 10:30 or so from Young Mens.

Lunch- 10 run. Started off very slow and painful the first 2 miles, which was to be expected. But by mile 2 or 3, I actually started feeling fine and even pushed the pace a bit the rest of the way. Good run. Not too hot, either, which helps.

| AM- Scrubbed the mtn run on account of so much to do before we leave in 2 weeks. Typical Georgia Rd run, 21 miles in 2:34 or so. 1300 ft climb and 7:22 avg pace. Felt good, if a bit tired at the end. I think this is my highest running week in 3 months. I still don't feel like I'm in good shape, and I'm not happy I haven't had a long run of over 4.5 hrs or 23 miles, but, barring injury, I feel more confident in Western States than I have since December.

| PM- PM with Barry and Seth. Pretty warm, very humid. They were doing a long run of 20-ish miles. I intended to do 14 or so but ended up stopping just over 10. 10.5 miles run, probably 1200 ft climb or so. On the way home, I had 45 min of a terrible thunderstorm complete with hail. In the past 3 days, we have over 3 inches of rain. Weather station said this storm gave us 1.5 inches in 45 minutes.
I stopped by the gym for my sauna hour. While everyone else ran inside quickly, I slowly meandered in, as I was already soaking wet and just going to sweat more. It was kind of fun to not care about getting wet. The sauna was pretty difficult- my HR was over 120 by the end, just sitting there. I made it the full hour, though. It was so hot that the book binding glue came undone, though.

| So last year, 10 days prior to Grindstone 100, I broke my left foot middle toe by stubbing it on furniter at home and wasn't able to run for a month. Last night, 18 days prior to Western States 100, I stubbed my right foot toe really hard again. I don't know if it's broken. It doesn't hurt quite as bad as last time, but it's painful to walk and it woke me up with pain at 3:45 this morning, and I was never able to fall back asleep. This is really quite frustrating. I'm hoping and praying I can still run on it. Even if it's broken, I'm planning to go. I just can't believe it happened again- I can't recall ever jamming toes this bad in my entire life, other than these two times. What are the odds both were immediately prior to 100 mile races? This is ridiculous.
I went to the Doctor. Just severe jam, not broken. But it's more colorful than last time. My newly jammed right foot...
Has a matching set in the left foot from last fall

| PM. In Winter Park, CO. Rested foot for a while, still not better. I think I'd be in good shape if not for it. Did 4 miles overdressed. Felt ok. Final countdown to Western Stakes. I watched the Unbreakable movie this morning. I've been sleeping terribly, waking up 3:30 am most days, maybe due to 8500 ft elevation. Not the rest I wanted pre race. Race temps should be hot, above 100 deg F. I will be bib 65. You can follow me at www.ultralive.net/ws100 They will also have love video on USL.tv and will have optional GPS tracking all race. Pretty cool. Not sure i will carry the gPS, but if I do, you can see where I am all race to the foot. I'm very excited but calm. This is a race I've wanted to do for a long time. Uninjured and trained, I'd hope for top 10. As it is, I'm just hoping to finish. I've got a very relaxed view and plan to enjoy the whole journey with no pressure. Much different than any race I've done before. I'm looking forward to it. | |

| Had a very enjoyable experience at the amazing Western States 100 and was lucky enough to even earn the coveted sub24 hr silver buckle. What a challenging, beautiful, well-run race. Truly a bucket list day with some great friends. Even saw the most inspiring running finish of my lifetime by Gundhild Swanson, the first 70+ yr female finisher, who ran the last section as fast as former Olympian and female winner, Magdalena Boulet, and was cheered in to beating the time limit by 5 seconds(http://www.usl.tv/gunhild-swanson-2015-western-states-finish/). I won't forget this race. |

| Lunch- 30 days after Western States 100, I did my first run. Upper 80's and humid, plus a fast pace, made for hard running for me. Did the first 4 miles with a group of 11, then 4 of us cut out early, slowed down, and ran 2 miles back. My legs were dead (as expected) and calves were almost cramping. The problem with running ultras, though, is you learn to run for hours on dead legs. It makes me feel like I should keep going on days like today (just cause I figure I could) when it's best to stop early. I have to set myself hard limits when I'm just coming back. That limit is 30-50 min this week. Finished with 48 min 6 miles.

| Lunch- I don't suggest trying to run with a moderately fast group when you are out of shape, it's hot and humid, and you donated blood the day before. If you are crazy enough to try this, you will get absolutely dropped within 2 miles and limp home at 9+ min pace. Ouch. 4 miles. Still sore from Monday, and tired. I guess this is to be expected for getting back in shape.

I'm not sure if it's the extra 8 lbs I'm packing around, but this is more out of shape than usual for just a month off.

| No running. But I was gone for 14 hours to take my 2 oldest girls rafting. Even though it was overcast and rainy, we had a grand old time. Kinley loved the rapids (tornado water, as she called it). Aspen loved the smooth parts. We even had 2 adults get tossed from our boat.

8 miles or so.
Did I mention it rained?
To be honest, rainy and 75 deg is quite enjoyable. Just makes the clothes a bit heavy afterwards.

Today is one of those long days. I left home at 6:30 for a run, then had 9 hours of training at work, then 2 hours of catching up at work on the work I've been missing due to training. Now I'm heading to church for Mutual night, then a meeting after that. I'll probably get home between 9:30 to 10 pm, which means it's over a 15 hour day. At least it keeps me out of trouble, even if I don't see my family.

PM- ward campout. Whole family came, but Marci and I drove separate cars. This proved fortuitous as none of our kids got to bed before midnight, and then the 2 year old woke up screaming and could not be calmed. I drove home from 1:30-2:30 am with her. Hope Marci and the other 4 fare well in the morning. I'm not sure Marci knows how to take down the tent. And I'm very bummed I'm going to miss the huge breakfast, including bacon. But it's 3 am now and I've been sleep deprived all week. I think I'm going to bed now.

And both my girls won their soccer games last week, the first time that has happened. I was in Denver so didn't see any of it, of course. Hope the games aren't rained out this weekend.

| Today is St George marathon and StumpJump 50k, both races I've done and enjoyed. I may be retired from racing but I still am excited for my racing friends and follow along. Given the rain outside today, it seems fitting I did both races in bad weather years, and that SJ is expecting lots of rain today. Run strong, friends, and enjoy. I actually appear in the video 3 times. Can anyone figure out where? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OhEWT4qp-4M Speaking of bad weather, it's currently 53 deg, pouring buckets, and 20 mph winds. I think I'll go for a nice run in a minute. Ran 8 miles. Felt good, probably around 7 min pace. The good news about running in the rain is, once you are wet, you can't get any wetter. |

| AM- 10 miles. Felt ok, considering I hadn't run since last Tuesday, I think. I had a bit of a leg pain (shin splints, I'd guess) that responded very favorably to rest. And I really hurt my neck/upper back on Thursday apple picking with my kids, carrying them around and having them stand on my shoulders trying to pick high apples. I was in pretty good pain for 2 days and still have some lingering soreness, but it's much better today than Friday. Anyways, expect to be back to normal running this week. Who knows, maybe I'll even hit the 50 mile mark.

| AM- 10. I'm having to run a lot of mornings as I have lots of dentist appointments recently. I have two implants due a youth bike accident and it appears they have to be removed and replaced, though bone loss is so extreme that they'll likely have to pull the two adjacent teeth and put the implants in those locations, then give me a 4 tooth bridge. Even though we've hit our medical deductible for the year with our new kid, this all goes under dental insurance, which pays a pittance. I'm looking at $10-15k out of pocket. Ouch. This all on top of the fact my medical premiums are shooting up again next year. They are up 49% in 3 years. Everyone I speak to has similar increases, yet the "official" inflation rate for medical expenses and premiums is low single digits. Government statistics are meaningless at best, purposeful lies at worst.

| AM- have lunch meetings so woke up early for run. Ran on GE track and was happy to see Moss show up a lap in. We ran 45 min together. He won the local marathon last weekend in 2:35 last Saturday so gave me the report. Probably the fastest run in months, as I was around 7 min pace for most of the run. Finished 10 miles in 72 min or so.

| Planned to run but ended up being so busy all day (4 hrs helping someone move in ward, 3 hrs picking up furniture and shopping, 4 hrs home projects for Marci) that I canned it. We didn't even have soccer today- both practices this week and the games were nixed due to excessive rain (plus some thunderstorms early this morning). It's really been a wet month- we got 7 inches of rain at the weather station nearest my house in the past week, and over 19 inches of rain since the start of Oct.

| PM- My first trail run in 134 days (not that I'm counting), as Western States was my last time on dirt. And first PM run since Jun 9. Ran 8.5 miles with Barry and Seth in 90 min. Felt pretty good- legs were fine, stomach wasn't happy due to huge, greasy, late lunch. So nice to finally make it out there again. Good thing Barry reminded me to bring my headlamp as the last 30 min were in the dark. A bit muddy from all the recent rain, but perfect weather tonight with some nice leaf viewing.
In the "the Fed says there's no inflation" department, the per-person fee to enter SC state parks has just gone up from $2 to $5. Ouch. I had to write a check as I only had $2 with me, other than some bigger bills.

| AM- 10, the first 3 or so with Dan at a good clip, then a bit slower, then I really ran out of steam the last 3 miles. It was pretty chilly, 40 deg or so, but felt quite nice with a long sleeve shirt. The sun was out, the first time I've seen that in a while.

Rob, this one is for you. Talks about the Middle East and Washington DC's involvement- a brief history of the ME. Thought you'd find it interesting. I think you're one of the few readers of my blog these days, anyways. This was written by Reagan's head of OMB, who was also in Congress.

One of the medicines the doctor gave me Monday for a sinus infection apparently has the side effect of causing the hiccups. I'm not kidding when I say I've had the hiccups at least half my waking hours for 2 straight days. This is really getting annoying.

| AM- I decided to put Rob away for good on the yearly mileage total. It took 10 hours, but I figure a 48.5 mile boost to my total should put this out of reach for him.
That'll do, Donkey. That'll do.
Just kidding- I'm sick and didn't run.

| Am. Now that I've beat Rob for the year, I figured being at the top of the entire FRB for the year would be nice. Easy 2247 mile run. Although it appears it won't record until the 24th. What a surprise Rob will have when I double his mileage.
Ok, I removed the mileage from the past 3 days. I've been sick so haven't run at all.

The year of rain is going out with a bang, 3.5 inches of rain today (and it's only 5 pm), almost 8 inches this week. The creek by our house is normally about 4 feet wide and under a foot deep, but flooded to several hundred feet wide and 6 feet deep earlier today, almost taking out the concrete bridge. It's crazy. We've had 65 inches of rain since the start of June! My phone keeps buzzing to tell me of multiple flood warnings and flash flood warnings right now.

Here's my running info from 2007 when I joined the FRB. My mileage has a strong downward trend the past few years. And my 1 race this year was by far the fewest ever, though not the lowest racing miles, as it takes a lot of 5k's to equal one 100.
