I woke up with a bad headache from playing the fireman last night at my neighbors house. Misty and I were the first to respond as they were out to dinner and came home to a couple of neighbors with hoses draped across the street. The Fire department came after  I had it pretty contained to the garage, I didnt even think about electricity as I was barefoot standing in water spraying the garage walls. Ugg I got chewed out by the fire department for not listening to them but the homeowner and I were determined to try and do something before the fireman got there. It went into the garage wall and started up the next floor when they came and doused it. Wow, I guess he had a battery charger on and the battery blew up and it was flamable. I was up till 1:30. 

So my run was 6 miles up at daybreak. I ran with Danielle and we did a nice slow pace to get my legs good for the race tomorrow in Moab.

Walter, you just seem to have all kinds of excitement in your life. Way to be a good neighbor and citizen! Lesson learned about electrical safety from the sounds of it!

How bad was the damage to their house?

Have a safe trip to Moab and run a great race!

BTW, your Boston number is 1215 and just waiting their for you to come pick it up and run with me!

Wow, what an exciting night. Back when we first got married, we lived in Sugar House and had this crazy lady that lived next door. One night her boyfriend decided to light her garbage can on fire which spread to her car and house. Lots of fun at 3:00 AM.

Hey, you really should come to Boston dangit!

From Jon on Fri, Mar 20, 2009 at 09:54:20 from 138.64.2.76

Wow, quite the adventure!

Are you not doing Boston this year?

From Walter on Fri, Mar 20, 2009 at 10:02:59 from 76.27.13.75

Jeff you are not making my decision to not go a good one. haha My fire fighting skills along with my neighbor Brett were well appreciated.

Michelle, come on! If I have money coming out of my butt by then, then I will commit ok?

Jon, No Im not planning on it right this moment. I owe my soul to the IRS and concrete companies right now. Them devilish bastards!

Amazing. I have a friend like you, who experiences all sorts of things which are beyond those most of us ever experience. Be careful when you fly next or you might end up on that Lost island.

From Jon on Fri, Mar 20, 2009 at 10:11:36 from 138.64.2.76

Ah, you should still do it. You only live once! Plus that would slow you down for the 30k.

From Michelle N. on Fri, Mar 20, 2009 at 10:14:45 from 75.162.237.156

You mean you don't have money coming out your butt? I got ya, but you will be missed.

Have fun at Moab and kick some butt.

Playing fireman and still have energy for a 6 miler?!!! GOOD LUCK at Moab!!!

From Walter on Sun, Mar 22, 2009 at 21:04:30 from 76.27.13.75

Paul, im a freak. I have no idea why trouble seams to follow me. haha

Cody, Thanks. It was a difficult race for me. I need to come up with a wonder recovery regime. Im not in high school anymore.

Smooth, thanks. I did the same last friday for the 10 mile race I did and i felt good. It wasnt as effective this week. I saw Teena at the starting line and her legs looked mummified! she had a whole roll of tape on them. Poor gal!
