I ran the old BYU farm route, out and back, and my stomach is still a little unsettled... As I got out to the old farm and the red brick house I ran into Pat Loss and Kent Wing, I stopped and we chatted for just a bit, great guys and awesome runners! They are always good to lend advice and encouragement, they are both an inspiration to me because of their dedication and talent... I took it easy for the most part this morning, except on miles 3, 4, 5, 6 I did some strides at the end of each of those miles, lasting about 20 to 30 seconds for each one. My average pace was 8:25 with my heart rate at 141 and my total time was 59:42. My legs are still tired and I think that is from the stomach issues, I must have a touch of something because I don't feel 100%, but I do feel better today. I will probably run the flat course tomorrow and then do Harry's hill on Thursday, but that will depend on how I am feeling. I also did my strength training on my legs and my core training using the rubber ball and doing push-ups between each set of crunches...

See ya Tomorrow.

You continue to be very dedicated, even when you don't feel 100%! Good luck hangin' with Harry on Thursday. I haven't quite tackled that hill yet, but Coach Tom said it is in my future.

You're getting in some pretty consistent mileage there. How is the leg doing? Completely mended now? Did you register for SGM this year?

From Clay on Tue, May 06, 2008 at 14:06:20

Kim, I will be thinking of you when I am trying to make my way up that darn hill.

James, I have entered the SGM. I have a guaranteed entry, yahoo!!! My legs is completely healed, knock on wood, so I'm excited about that!

Lucky you - I am sitting here waiting on pins and needles to find out if I got in or not. Can't wait until I get to the point where I can join the 10 year club and have a guaranteed entry each year!

From Clay on Thu, May 08, 2008 at 14:06:49

I received my Guaranteed entry via the Cancel in time method. They are not doing that for this years race, you have to be one of the first 500 cancels to have a guarantee for next years race.

Good luck tomorrow, I will be praying for you to get in:-)
