| got a comp courtesy of my friend who is the CFO of the race sponsor. Great race on a challenging course. Training has been spotty, I forgot my garmin, and it was cold and windy so I wasn't really planning on doing more than trying to finish this in under 90 minutes. But fortunately I found blogger Chad at the starting line. He had his garmin and told me he was going for under 1:25, so I decided to hook up with him as far as I could. We decided to take turns breaking the strong south wind, by switching the lead every half mile or so. Chad ended up doing more of the wind breaking than me, maybe due to something he ate the night before? Lame attempt at joke. Anyway it was nice to have someone to run with and keep me motivated, and not to worry about the pace since he took care of that with his garmin. He would take the lead on the hills, but I managed to catch him again up until about mile 10 when he started to gap me and finished 30 or so seconds ahead of me, nice job Chad. I felt surprisingly good for this race considering really spotty training and less than ideal conditions. I shaved more than two minutes off last year's time in this race despite being in worse shape and worse weather? Maybe I will continue to prepare for races by not training as hard?
Anyway, this has become one of my favorite Utah races- great organization, challenging honest loop course, great group of runners, awesome volunteers, and cool new wagon wheel trophies three deep in all age groups. And timed by runnercard, who always does a great job.

| I got as pair of hoka bondi's as a gift so took them for a two mile test spin. interesting shoe.. very cushioned, and impossible to heel strike based on the design of the foot sole. they claim they emulate barefoot running on sand or grass.... definitely very cushioned, but lacking in flexibility. I think this is a good shoe for the rotation for long runs when training for a marathon when cushioning is needed, but I am still unsure how the lack of flexibility will work with my rigid feet .

| got my yearly free entry courtesy of a friend whose company sponsors the race. still a chaotic disorganized mess at the start but at least they got rid of the chain link fence penning and corraling the runners in at the start, although the porta pottie and start situation is still a complete disaster. Anyway, the course itself is fun, the weather was great, and the volunteers and police did a nice job. Finally met Rob Murphy at the start and chatted a bit, talked a bit with Steve Anderson as well. My strategy with fairly limited training was to push hard for the first nine miles and then just hold on from there and try to make it to the finish. I was happy when Allie pulled up along side me around mile 8, that gave me a little mental boost to stay with her through Liberty park, but I was pretty wiped out by then and already psyched out by the thought of State street ahead. Allie forged on running really strong and I struggled up State, then I turned in a decent final mile to finish in 1:21:10, about 90 seconds faster than last year so I can't complain. unfortunately I couldn't stick around after the race as my son was playing tennis at the Ogden invitational so I drove to Ogden to watch his matches. good day and fun to see some bloggers. good luck to the Boston runners tomorrow! (I am writing this Sunday). |

ran in Provo while waiting for my daughter to pack her stuff and load it in my truck. went to BYU track where they were preparing for a track meet. no one kicked me off so I ran intervals: 4x200 (100 recovery), 4x400 (200 recovery), 4x200 (100 recovery). 37-39 for 200s, 76-80 for 400s. day 5 of the cold of the decade. it shows no sign of relenting. and I have decided emergenC is worthless when you have a real cold.

| I have this incredible cough that keeps me up all night and won't relent. I went to the doctor and got some of the hard stuff cough medicine( with codeine) but that still hasn't helped. But he said I am fine except for the cold and cleared me to keep running. So I ran from south end of PW to Logan high and did 4x1600, 5:55-6:05 each on the track, hacking and coughing all the way around. Lots of fun. |

| local elementary school fundraiser, none of the serious runners come to this so it is pretty much a solo time trial. Since the money is for Providence elementary I wish they would ditch the millisecond chip timing they use, which takes a huge chunk of the entry fee with their ridiculous fees for timing the race. I am no fan of milliseconds anyway, and you would think they could provide free or reduced rate timing for fund raisers for schools but I guess not. And there is no reason to chip time a little race like this with no serious runners anyway. I've tried to convince the people in charge of this but to no avail. Whoever marked the course added an extra block before first turn, which added exactly 0.25 miles to the race, making it a 5.4 instead of 5K. Oh well it's a fundraiser for the school, and to make money for millisecond chip timing, so it hardly matters. The course is a loop with rolling hills through River Heights and Providence. Splits were 5:42 (mostly downhill), 6:02 (rolling hills but net level), 6:20 (uphill) and 5:39 for 0.35 miles (downhill). Kind of a "bleh" performance, not really motivated for racing right now. I entered the SG lottery, and i am almost hoping I don't get in so I can just take the summer off and get fat and lazy. If I don't get into SG then Bolder Boulder on Memorial day will be my last race of the year before a low key 5K in November.

| tough day at health days. I thought I was in as good of shape as last year, but I ran a full minute slower. Not sure how to interpret that. It was warmer, head wind up the canyon, I am too old for this, I don't know. Course goes 3 miles up Smithfield canyon for continuous 500 foot climb, then you come screaming back down again . my trouble today was getting moving on the uphill. I just couldn't get my legs to turn over like I wanted. mile splits: 6:27, 7:03, 7:23, 5:38, 6:02, 5:47, 5:20 for 0.2 miles. Well, it was still fun, got to see and talk to Conner, Rob, Steve, Dave and Keith. Finished about 30 seconds back from Keith and way back from Conner and Steve. big congrats to Conner on another solid win. I was hoping to win the SG marathon entry but alas no such luck.

Then ran a tempo rest of the way back to Paul's car for 1.85 miles total at 6:11 average pace, chatted in sign language with Paul for a few minutes then easy back home. |

| ran the Bolder Boulder like I do every year. They changed the course this year adding a little more net uphill. Would've liked to break that pesky 38 minute barrier but the course just wouldn't cooperate. lost 10 seconds off last year, but I will attribute it to the course being 15 seconds harder!

| sorry I haven't blogged in a while. I am fighting PF in my right foot and metastarsalgia in my left foot to the point I can barely walk at times. I don't know how I developed either of these problems, I have never had problems with the soles of my feet before. So I haven't been running much and have been experimenting with different shoes to see what will get me back on track. Meanwhile I have had a great summer with lots of camping traveling, reading books, home projects. I should feel bad I haven't run more, but I really don't. And with the injuries there isn't much I can do about that anyway. the miles for today are really a compilation of about all I have managed for the last 3.5 weeks with all my troubles. My goal now is to get my feet healthy, no races for awhile. I will try to put in about 4 miles a day this next week and see what happens. I am going to try running them in my hoka bondis to give me some more cushioning and see if that helps. they are actually a very cool shoe. |

| USU river trail. came onto the scene of the big accident about 10 minutes after it happened, the ambulance was already gone bu ther e were police and fire trucks everywhere. made me sick to my stomach at the time as I figured someone had been killed or something. was glad to hear the motorcyclist will be OK. what a great group of people up here at USU who rescued him. pushed the pace for the run to about 7:15 with the adrenaline surge from all that. |

| ran from home to millville and out the TOU course. my mission was to deliver a cold mountain dew to Steve Anderson. Unfortunately I never found him. Did get to cheer for Paul as he turned toward the millville hill. Then I stopped at the mile 17 aid station to wait for Steve. I almost missed Allie blasting past tucked in to the middle of a pack running at a really fast pace, fortunately I was able to see her and shout some words of encouragement just in time- great race Allie! Waited awhile for Steve, figured I must have somehow missed him as the runners were now coming by at about a 7:30 pace, so started jogging back down the course on the sidewalk, careful to stay off the course itself. Stopped to talk to a neighbor for awhile, then saw Keith Anderson come by, he had torn his calf and was in a lot of pain, but refused to quit since he has finished every tou since the first, he is one tough dude. Ran with him for a mile or so then came home, then spent the day building a tennis backboard for my son's eagle project. The 20% chance of rain took a bee line right for braegger park in Providence and parked there for 4 hours. wet and cold but we got it done, except for the final painting and finishing. |

| hiked up rattlesnake canyon to the top of wellsvilles. I can't believe Cody and Joe run that. I should have read this entry more carefully before going up there. At least I had long pants, my poor son's legs look like he got attacked by a cougar or something. I wouldn't try running this for anything.

| A student in my biochemistry class told me about this race yesterday, put on at USU by ROTC so I decided to see where I am at in the 5K. Race is through campus on sidewalks, quite a few turns, but a flat pretty fast course. Pretty good turnout and for a good cause. Garmin mile splits were 5:56, 5:54, 6:07, and then about 6:15 for 0.1. I am pretty happy with this race effort since my foot hurts bad and I haven't raced since beginning of June. I won the "over 35" age group (did I mention I will turn 50 in 12 days) and got a 25 dollar gift certificate to Indian Oven, a one month family membership to Sports Academy and some other miscellaneous swag for my efforts. My student beat me by 30 seconds to take overall while a 32 year old guy from Idaho came in a few seconds ahead of me. I'll have to try to get even in another race! |

| spent so much time repairing the integrator for my thermal conductivity gas chromatograph so we could do some oxygen consumption experiments that I didn't have time to run. the good news is the integrator works again and we were able to successfully make our measurements. for the loyal readers of my blog this will be very exciting news.

| 11 miles @7:43 pace. my lower calves were hurting which is troublesome so i think I will take a couple days off to let them recover. the PF is really bad. Carol showed me how to tape my foot for PF so hopefully that will help in the future. I think it is time to start incorporating a day or two of water running into my regime too. |

| I was joined for my one mile interval workout on the east bench by one of my biochem students, it was great to have a faster person to push me. we ran 4 x 1mile with about 90 second recoveries on my one mile course by Lundstrom park. We played rabbit where I took a 20 second head start over my student and he still caught me, passed me, and beat me on each interval by 10 seconds. My splits were 6:01, 6:01, 6:08, and 5:59 while Thomas' were about 5:30 each.

| really aggravated my PF attempting intervals today to the point I can barely walk. 4+ months of this PF is enough. Looks like I am going to be calling it quits for awhile. I signed up for first dam Saturday, if I undergo a miraculous recovery I will run it. Otherwise I will cross train for two months and start fresh next year.
