I had a hard time sleeping.  I ate a huge quantity of  whole wheat pasta and bread last night and topped it off with a homemade key lime cheese cake.  When I get nervous about a distance run I tend to overeat.  Then the extra calories keep me awake.  But it was worth it.  I had a great run. I met Catherine at Will's, ran 9 up the Canyon past Vivan Park near Big Springs.  We ran into Josse and her group near the top.  Is there a healtier looking person that Josse?.  She's adorable as usual.  Then we ran down a while with this guy we always see on the trail.  He was coming down from Soldier's Hollow.  He did the grand slam last year (4 Utah marathon's in the year) and has run a lot of years with the Sojourner's Club.  We did four excellent miles with him (I didn't tell Cathereine how fast we were going until later).  I got a little fatigued toward mile 16, but picked it up that last mile.  Oveall a good, strong run.  I now have 4 bags of ice ace bandaged to various anatomical locations, and I'm sitting on one for my hips as I write this.  Whoever invented those freezer ready blue gel packs should get a nobel prize.  It saves me from having to go outside and sit in the river.   Yay!  Not bad.
