I spent a lot of time recently thinking about my running goals and have found a dilemma. Read about it and post your comments on the discussion board (it's under training review requests).
Awesome, awesome run today! 8 miles up Green Canyon- and I set a new record for the run, which is even better since the run is now about 200-400 meters longer with the new singletrack. Lots of bikers, walkers, and even 3 runners. Ran up in 31:07 without going all out (up record is 30:30 on the old course), down in 22:18, which is a new down record. Total time 53:25, new record on both old and new (longer) course. That is just a hair under 4 miles in 22:18, including the last mile on rather technical singletrack in 5:35. It was a bit muddy, which made it even funner. And on the way down, I raced a car! Granted, it was only a suburban with a family that wasn't trying too hard, but I raced a car, and I even took the longer route with both singletracks! I was ahead most of the way thanks to a bumpy road that slowed him down, but he managed to catch me the last mile with all the technical singletrack plus the last uphill. But he only got me by 5 seconds!
On another good note, the forest service put in a new bathroom at the top of Green Canyon by the parking lot. I love it when my tax dollars go to a good purpose like that. I already used it today. Could life get any better? I propose that it cannot!

10 miles around Logan with the jogging stroller. It is hard to push a jogging stroller up 800 E towards USU.

Funny story from yesterday. I was on my way to my run (wearing my TOU shirt) and stopped by the drive up window at Wells Fargo bank. The conversation went like this:
Wells Fargo teller: Did you do the Top of Utah?
Me: Yeah
WF: What was your time?
Me: 2:39
WF: Hey, were you the top local finisher?
Me: Yeah
WF: *pause* You looked like you were about to die in your picture
Me: I was
WF: The 2 guys behind you sure looked good
Me: They were barely trying. They both ran 20 minutes faster a few weeks later at St. George.
WF: Wow- did they qualify for their thing?
Me: Yeah, they both qualified for the Olympic Trials
Moral of the story- if you are going to get your picture in the paper, smile. I thought is was funny how the teller used almost my exact words about that picture- that I looked like I was about to die while Paul and Logan looked great. So smile, raise your arms, whatever- just look happy that you finished your race! | |

| I'll draw from Sasha's excuse sheet today and claim number 1 and 3. But I was busy at 5 am (leaving for work) and didn't get home until 9 pm. Can we add those to the top 10 excuses? | |

Frisbee- perhaps my last game of the year :( (whoops, put that on Fri- should be Thurs)
Evening run- ran from my house to the end of planetwalk (exactly 2 miles) in 14:00, then ran to Cody's house (about 2 miles) in 13:30. Decided it is about 1.9 miles to Cody's. Ran back to end of planetwalk in 13:10, then home in 13:30. 7.8 miles, 54:10.

Morning run with Cody. Rather dark when we started at First Dam, up bonneville trail to Green Canyon. Just light enough when we got to the singletrack. Cold and rain/hail/sleet/snow. Up to the top of Green Canyon road. Nice run, nice and muddy just like I love it. Good run up. Coming down was a bit cold for a few miles with a very strong head wind, 35 deg, and hail. It was nice to be able to commiserate with Cody. It was real bad when at the same time we both started saying "Ouch, ouch" from the hail hitting us. Much warmer at the finish with no wind. Good 13 mile run, but not muddy enough and no blood drawn. Maybe next time.
