Morning Run - Desert Reserve - They fenced me off my favorite access trail into the reserve.  I was pretty ticked.  All for a stupid tortoise I've never even seen and that's not even native to S. Utah. 

Ran up to the end of the Paradise Rim Trail.  When I got to my turn-around point a MT. Bike guy pulled up on his $4G bike and started talking to me about how he used to run but stopped because Mt. Biking is faster.  Anyways, to make a long story short I started to head down the trail and he said, to let him go first so he wouldn't "run me down" on the trail. So, I let him go first and just held to his rear tire .5 miles down the trail then passed him.  I must say he was pretty surprised that I was still with him and kicking his butt on the downhill.

Looking Forward to Speed this evening at the Dixie College Track.

Ran with Clyde and "The Girls" at the track this evening. Clyde and I decided to do 10x400M with a 200M recovery. I kept them all at 1:20 or below.  We got a little faster at the end. The last lap was 1:09 for me and 1:04 for Clyde. I really liked the workout, I wouldn't mind doing Sasha's 20x400M on a non-race week.  I think its good training for focusing on form and leg turn-over at higher speeds.

Don't worry Steve I didn't show up this morning, I'm still struggling with my mornings getting out of bed, but hey only 16 more days of school, then I should have no excuses for not getting up and getting in a morning workout. I won't be there tonight, but I'm going to try to come on Thursday I have a family thing at 6:30 over in Washington, so maybe we can run a route that heads over that way, then I can take off when I need and run to my party.

The tortoise is more native than you are - unless you lived here before the Indians! Nice speed. I tried 4's the other day and they kicked my butt.

Good work Steve, I need to get back to doing some speed. Are you planning on doing the half this weekend?

Dave, Everyone knows the tortoises were brought to the desert by Aliens - Haven't you seen the Petroglyph?
