Run Run Run

Ran Dimple Dell Park this morning with Denali Golden Retriever. Trail is getting too sandy from horse use, need some moisture or freezing to hardened it off. I run too slow in sand. Some of it is in wood chips though which are easier. Lesson learned - if you run down a sand hill you may have to run back up it

Kept seeing scrub blue jay birds - they always seem to be screeching at me probably saying something like "get moving faster chubby". They have nice blue color. Also I see alot of magpies with their neat black and white pattern - their call is like a laugh and seem to be saying "You call that running thats a laugh". What do birds know anyway. Unless you can fly like my son (Falcon). I guess it could be worse - Alfred Hitchcocks movie "The Birds" - that could make me run faster.

Nice views of the mountains and approaching storm.

Ran at Murray Park with son's practice, nice evening run but too much on asphault/cement. Right IT band bothering me - need to work on my self PT

2 slow miles with son and dog at Cottonwood Park on grass as son reviewed regional race course. Right ITB starting to bother me a little so taking it easier

Have no idea how much I ran today but it feels like a half marathon. Helped USATF setup regional championship XC course - worked 7 hours including setting up flags, pruning branches, picking up debris, filling holes, and blowing leaves off about 4 miles of course, Im darn tired and I know I had to get several miles in. But its for the kids and thats who counts. 4 of us did almost all the work. I wish other runners would help the kids. Anyway there is alot of top runners from Arizona, New Mexico, Colorado, Texas and of course Utah - there are several hundred here. Am excited to see my son (Falcon) run against these other top runners - its going to be tough but he can do it, he has worked hard and will do his best. Its amazing checking the web for USATF how many ast runners there are. Fastrunner Blog runners beware - youve got alot of competition in the future coming
