took the family down to Provo for homecoming and the game, my two oldest are students at BYU. Having just run a marathon a week before I didn't really care much how this race went so devised this strategy: survive getting up the hill to 900 east, run as fast as I could down 900 east, and then crash and burn and try to finish. Mile 1 (upjill, then start of downhill) 6:07. Mile 2: screaming down 900 east, 5:42. Mile 3, I don't want to run anymore, 6:35. Last 0.1, 6:02 trying to beat 19 minutes. mission accomplished. After the race I talked to Doug Padilla for awhile. He is the RD and really nice, great guy. Miles batty ran the race too. cool. Tailgated and went to the game. good game until 5 minutes left when BYU self destructed. oh well. my interest in football is waning. I don't even know if the pack is playing today or if the game is on TV. pathetic.
