AM - 6.7 easy.  2 rules for today's run since I'm running after work as well.  1) Don't look at my watch and 2) Don't push it.  Suceeded today so that's good.  Hurt my foot again at the exact same place as last week, WTF.  Maybe I'll pay attention now, doubtful but hopefully.  Kinda a boring night last night good thing Top Gear was new.

PM - 5 miles with a big group from work on the weber river parkway from Parker drive in riverdale. Ended up running alone because nick and Sally we're going faster than I wanted and the rest were going slower than I wanted. Still a good run.

Nice and easy today trying not to hurt my foot so I let that dictate the pace.  Had to split this into 2 parts because I got a call from work and had to go home for and hour and a half or so at 2 miles.  Getting cooled back down like that didn't help.  Ran down Adams ave and back into Riverdale on the new Weber River Parkway extension...nice to have that new trail.

PM - 2.5 After work on the BST above Weber State, awesome night.  Decided to take my dog Bailey for her first trail run.  She did great except for being afraid when we passed other people.  I had to pick her up for that part.

Were to start....started getting sick Wednesday.  So going in I didn't feel well.  Got started and that first 3 mile hill killed me, I had no energy and couldn't breathe.  Decided just to take it easy and finish.  Even taking it easy felt like a death march.  Made it through the 1st aid station and then down the backside of Elephant head ok, probably my best mile or so here.  Hit that uphill back toward the aid station and just had no energy.  So the rest of the way was walk/run as best as I could just to finish.  Probably the toughest race I've ever run but I'm glad I finished.  It was great to get out with Oreo, Gdoc, and Fritz under the blue dome.  Thanks!  Those guys rocked it.  

Went to Now Care later in the afternoon and found out that I had Walking Pnuemonia so I guess I wasn't just having a bad run day.  Which makes me feel better in a way.

Well the sun was actually shining when this thing started for about 5 minutes.  You could see the impending doom looking down South Fork toward Pine View.  Started off easy running with Ben, Brandon, and Dave.  After about a mile or so I eased into an nice sustainable pace.  The rain started about 2 miles in and just got worse for the race.  I felt really good coming out of South Fork, at the Half Marathon split and running up the hill outside of Eden.  As soon as I was at the top of the hill there was wind in my face and the rain seemed to pick up, that was hard to do but it did.  Somewhere between here and the spillway I felt my legs cool down and I couldn't get them to warm back up.

I was able to keep my pace through 22 miles or so then my legs just started locking up.  So from here on in I was running/walking.  BUMMER!!!  I really think I could have held my pace and come in around 4:15 because I felt really good until my legs got cold.  But I finished and I'm happy that I was able to push myself to the end.

Ultimate quad grinder this morning with Oreo up the Fire Trail to Skyline trail, to Lewis Peak.  That's some serious uphill.  Nick warned me but somehow I didn't think it would be as tough as it was.  I think the downhill part was just as tough.  Anyway that's what makes it fun aside from having a good friend 'enjoy' the pain with you.

Awesome day....hiked from curry village campground up to Half Dome with Janell.  Went up the Mist trail to Nevada Falls and then up the John Muir trail to half dome.  Really can't describe how awesome this is but it's a must do in your life kinda hike.  On the way back went completely down the John Muir trail instead of taking Mist.  Specataular views and it was great to be in Yosemite.
