My legs were so trashed this morning, I feel like I have just run a race or something and I have dead leg syndrome! I think the extra effort in the snow really gave my legs a workout, I mean they are beat! Because of the lifeless legs I bypassed Loafer this morning and just kept it easy and headed out towards Payson via Salem canal road, at least the roads were a little better this morning so that was good... Average pace was 9:18 with my heart rate average at 139, total time 43:21 like I said slow and easy. My groin was giving me problems again, nothing like it was last year but I can feel it, it must of been from yesterday and the uneven roads and footing I hope I didn't re-injure it! If I did, I'm going to scream out loud they might even hear me as far as Nephi;-D

I almost forgot, at 7:50 am January 7, 1998 my son Ethan was born it was one of the happiest days of my life! He just turned 11 years old  4 minutes ago,  he is such a cool dude, I don't know what I would do with out him!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY SON!

See ya tomorrow.

Clay, trashed legs are fun, 100 commando points for the bad weather run. Having kids sure puts life into perspective.
