USU river trail. The river trail was swarming with police. turns out some guy exposed himself to a lady on the trail. The police stopped me and had to write what happened down on a piece of paper since I wasn't wearing or carrying my CI so couldn't hear. I can see I am going to have to start carrying it as I have now had too many situations where I couldn't here when I needed to. They are looking for a stocky bald guy mid 30s. Fortunately I am a tall skinny red headed 50 year old guy so escaped suspicion.
I have always wondered how safe Logan river trail is for single women in light of things that have happened on jordan river parkway and provo river. the guy is dumb though as river trail always has runners on it and I and many others would have loved to have caught him.

USU river trail.. no stocky bald white guys to be seen

10x200 USU track ~40 seconds each

4 with some strides. taking a taper before a pathetic attempt to run a 10K tomorrow being hopelessly out of shape. I imagine it will not be pretty.

I tired to enter 6.2 miles for a 10K but keep getting this weird error message:You have entered a non-standard distance. This should not happen on a certified course If you are sure that this is the distance you ran check The distance was non-standard or the course was not certified checkbox. So I tried 6.21 miles. aha. you need three significant figures I guess, as we say in chemistry 1210. Maybe I should try 6.21371192 miles?

I ran the smithfield health days 10K today: up the canyon then back down the canyon. Was happy to see James Barnes at the start, he was here for the weekend. We had a good chat before the race and cooldown afterwards. I did about what I expected given my training and motivational level which isn't great. Two years ago I ran this in 38:15, last year 39:11, this year in 39:42, not exactly a promising trend.
I ran the first mile about where I wanted to: 6:28, slight uphill. Then 7:00 for the next part of the climb, bummer. Then a pathetic 7:23 to the turnaround and a bit back down the canyon. Keith A. passed me around mile two, it was good to see he was running, I didn't see him at the start which bummed me out since we a re the same age and it is fun to have another 50 year old to run with- turns out he was back in the crowd at the starting line- 8 seconds off the gun. Health days has chip timing this year for the first time ever.  I am betting he wanted that 8 seconds of cushion in the outside chance I could stay with him to the end so he didn't have to injure his calf again in a mad dash to the finish to beat me in a sprint as when there were no chips (re the one and only time I have ever beat him, in 2010). Good strategy, and flattered he thinks I even have a chance, but he solidly destroyed me by two minutes. He actually edged out James on chip time with this strategy too. Keith is an amazing runner, he gets faster as I get slower.
Mile 4, 5:52, mile 5, 6:09, mile 6, 6:02, 0.2 miles, 56 seconds.
Cooldown after with James and Sean, who ran great races today.  Now I am going to do a little introspection to decide what I want out of running anymore... The infernal plantar fasciitis, still giving me trouble after a year, has really sapped my morale and motivation. At least that is what I am blaming. Maybe it is just I am getting old and tired.
