Went to the Park Trail with Misty and Danielle. Ran 6 with Danielle, nice and easy like. My legs are thrashed. I had Bailey (my 7 year old) stretch my legs last night by pushing in them. lol I stretched her legs and was amazed at the flexibilty! I wished I was like that. Oh except for doing the splits. :o

You're doing UV marathon? Holy crap, man, you're either going to be in the absolute best shape of your life or you'll be dead from racing by the fall!

From Walter on Wed, May 27, 2009 at 10:56:16 from 76.27.15.208

I was going to do Bear lake half but have stuff to do here so why not do the UVM? lol Cody was trying to recruit me for the Logan Peak run. No thanks. lol maybe next year. I would ruin myself from that.

From Teena on Wed, May 27, 2009 at 11:05:00 from 67.177.20.13

Yeah ... what's another wee-little marathon for Walter James??? Nothin'!!!

From Walter on Wed, May 27, 2009 at 11:20:04 from 76.27.15.208

Teena, I should have signed up for the grand slam. oh well The UVM looks fun, except Tom Lee just told me that they changed the first part from the trail to the highway so now it will be rolling for the first part on concrete too! ugg

From Teena on Wed, May 27, 2009 at 11:21:18 from 67.177.20.13

Stupid rolling concrete!!!

(You're a genius with concrete though ... no sweat!!)

From Walter on Wed, May 27, 2009 at 11:24:05 from 76.27.15.208

Hey Teena Marie, I didnt think of it that way! hopefully im better running on it then kneeling down over it. haha I hope i dont get the urge to work on it. lol put my fingerprints on it.

From Teena on Wed, May 27, 2009 at 11:41:55 from 67.177.20.13

Fight the urge dear friend!!

From Walter on Wed, May 27, 2009 at 11:51:50 from 76.27.15.208

Ill try Teena, I actually almost ate concrete when I was running next to Jon in Top of Utah half marathon.

From jtshad on Wed, May 27, 2009 at 14:57:13 from 204.134.132.225

Alright, I get to run with Kory and Walter at UVM!

From Kelli on Wed, May 27, 2009 at 15:50:14 from 71.219.85.34

WOW, Walter. WOW.

From Walter on Fri, May 29, 2009 at 00:28:04 from 76.27.15.208

Its go time brother! well not right now. after my legs get the feeling back from Ogden.

Kelli, I was way more flexible in HS. thats when i had speed in my legs too. oh the days when coach pierce was our cross country coach.

From Andy on Fri, May 29, 2009 at 01:48:10 from 198.60.114.178

Jeff, Kory and Walter are all running UVM? That's a lot of star power for a small race. I may have to come out and watch it.

From Walter on Fri, May 29, 2009 at 10:05:21 from 76.27.15.208

Andy, I guess there will be a kenyan runner and a 2:21 runner there. Jeff Mclellan is running it too. There will be competition baby! lots of speed! And down hill.
