I had physical therapy in the morning. My Knee is still "snapping", but not hurting. I'm also pretty sensitive on the top of my femur where my hamstring comes across. I'm planning on getting a deep tissue message the beginning of next week. Hopefully that will loosen me up a little more than I've been able to do just stretching.

The run with the club tonight was pretty intense, at least for me. About 3 miles into the run I was behind Clyde and Dustin and Clyde just kept increasing the speed. By the time we were going down River Rd. my legs just we're able to turn over fast enough to keep the pace. When I got down to the Virgin River Bridge my lungs were burning like mad. When I got back to the park I think I was about 2 min behind Dustin and Clyde. I have some serious work to do.

Bill, Dustin and Clyde came up to our place in Central, UT this morning for our group run. It was nice being able to sleep an extra hour on a Sat. until 6:50am.

The run was pretty fun, we did loose the trail for about 1 1/2 miles towards the beginning of the run so it slowed us down a little. We basically did a loop around Central and Baker Lake. Probably Climbed about 500 ft. the first 3 miles and spent the next 6 coming down. Then got on RT 18 3 miles down from the start of the St. George Marathon and ran back towards the Starting line and back to my house.

I started having some issues around the Baker Dam. My legs, lungs seemed to be working just fine, I wasn't hurting at all I just had a complete system shut down. I probably was a little dehydrated and just not used to be out running as long as we were. The humidity was also very high to it raining the day before. So I had been sweating like a mad man. Anyways, I pretty much got dropped by everyone once we hit RT 18 for the last 3 miles.

By the time we stopped I was light-headed and not doing too well. I haven't felt like this during a training run - ever.

I think my problem basically boils down to my training. I'm just not where I should be and I pushed it a little too much.

When we got done everyone, including me said it was between 12-13 miles. So I mapped it out on Google Earth and got only 11. If you guys get a distance different than that let me know. It sure in the heck felt more than 11.
