Had a busy day and I had it off too. go figure. I made some progress on a bathroom in my basement and fumed up our house good with glue smell! haha hahahahaahha ok Im glad I ran because I was higher than a kite and getting 6 in a rain storm cleaned my brain. Now im home again and could smell the fumes pretty good once I opened the door. It was dark, wet and soggy.

Had a busy day! Got a viscious Migraine headache this morning at 7 am on the dot. I took 2 of my prescription pills that would work for a normal person of average weight. It hit me within 10 minutes! I was flying! I was so damn dizzy! I actually fell off the ladder at 6 feet up changing a sign. thats when I had to sit down and eat something. pwhew!  my skinny bod was overwhelmed! I kicked it though. I came home and did a night run of 6.3 miles and finished in the dark. You know 106th south has been widened and there is a bike lane with extra room to the curb and yet people still seem to drive down the side of the street thinking its a runway to turn right! Oh well. I guess getting hit will teach them! Ill show em!

Had a great short lived visit to St. George. Stayed with Terry and Tim Porter. Great running friends! I went to the start of the race and it was 33 degrees. I was hoping for maybe high 40's. No such luck. The sun did come out as I was leaving today at 1:30 though! Thanks! I started the race and my legs felt heavy. the pace was pretty fast and my first mile was 5:45 and it felt like 5:15. I saw a High School buddy who was extremely fast and on my same team named Steve Sumsion. He actually took 2nd in State in Cross Country and ended up running for Utah till they destroyed there running program. He did very well running for Uof U also. He hasnt been running and has some damn much talent. I told him he had to get back in the scene. Anywho, I got to mile 6 and was in 6th overall at that point and a guy named Jose Soccoro passed me and brushed my shoulder! I thought it was kind of weird but let him pass and then he slowed down so I got up next to him and was trying to pass but he kept speeding up. I really didnt care so I let him. He then proceeded to bump me with his arm and body every once in a while and at first I thought he couldnt run in a straight line. I kind of thought he was trying to psych me out so I slowed down on purpose but he matched me. This happened from mile 6 till the finish. I actually got sick of it at mile 9 and ran to the oncoming side of the road to get away from him. He dashed over to my side and bumped me off the shoulder I finally bumped him back and crossed the other side of the road. I have never been in a situation where i had a guy all over me like that! It was a new experience that I didnt want to go to. When I finished my buddy Steve Olsen asked me about him and told me he did the same thing to him in Mesquite half marathon. He chuckled at me when he saw me cross the road. Nice one!  It was an honest course that humbled me and will get me running more. It was fun to see so many familiar smiling faces! I wished the weather was better but oh well.
