Yesterday I got a call from Jake inviting us up to a "cabin" in Heber City that his parents have rented for the week. The place sleeps about 20 people so we mooched our way into staying the night. The kids had a blast feeding the horses and checking out the property.

Went for a 15.5 mile run with Jake this morning in about two hours. Wandered through Heber City to Midway and back. I Did two miles before Jake and I started at my creaky old man pace so I wouldn't slow him down too much. Beautiful cool morning.

Jeff Shadley awesomely got me a free entry in the Pocatello Half Marathon over Labor Day weekend. So I guess I'm committed now.

Fourteen trail miles at Alta in 1:52. Pretty hard running and now I'm tired. Fortunately it's my last day of summer vacation so I can loll around this afternoon after I get my majorly cracked windshield replaced.

I'm thrilled to be training more or less consistently and hopeful that I can put together a couple decent races in the fall and early winter.

Ten treadmill miles.

I got to have lunch today with legendary University of Utah football coach Ron McBride. Great coaching insights. It's amazing how so much of it is transferrable whether you are coaching football players or runners.

AM: Three miles warming up and cooling down with my team at our first cross country meet. It went pretty well considering we lost our #2 runner due to his boss spilling acid on his leg requiring surgery and also our #3 runner for not coming to practice.

PM: 7 miles around Sugarhouse Park in the hot heat.
