I went down to Bingham High Shcool and met up with the bbk group. we did about 3.5 or more warm up and then got on the new track. We did a progressive 800 meter run and then we did a 1200, 800, and 400 with a 400 rest in between. I Then did 3 more laps of sort of cool down and then called it good. The rest were still going to do more but I have a race on Saturday and dont want to be beat down too much for it. My legs were stinging a bit. It felt good to get out on the track.

I went down to the park trail and ran with Danielle and Misty.  I ended up going out 4 and back 4 to make 8 with Danielle. Misty made about 6.5.  There was a strong headwind coming from the north and it felt like it was going to start snowing but we just missed it.

HAPPY APRIL 1ST!   RUN, YOU FOOLS!

Ok I woke up to a snow storm and that put me in a foul mood. I drove up to the Moose lodge  in Eden by Pineview reservoir.  I was extremely late and missed the busses. I grabbed my number and drove to the start and Misty and the girls drove back to mile 4. I barely had enough time to go to the bathroom and run to the start.  I hate stressed out runs like that. I wasnt feeling good from the start. Im not trying to use any excuses. I did save some gas from the previous weeks to try and make a good showing today but it wasnt in me.  I felt good to mile 4 and then we were out of the canyon and the headwind started to pick up mildly.  Tim passed me at mile 5 and had alot of power as he passed me.  I tried as hard as I could to keep him from fading away. At mile 8 or so I passed James and that gave me a little umph but it was brutal from then. A severe headwind with snow flurries and I felt like I was running in place. I could actually feel the wind pushing me when my foot released from the ground. Yuck!  I tried to run hard but my times suffered severly. Tim made a good show today and gained time back on what little lead I had on him.  Our last race is on the 25th and is a 30K.

My times were: 1:  5:31  That is 12 seconds slower than Moabs start and 7 slower than last week. 2: 5:38 still going down a canyon to help keep the pace.  3: 5:47 I felt good here and wanted to try to keep my time at this pace.  4: 5:39  Was pleased to keep the pace and started to be out of the canyon at this point. 5: 38 This was a good mile and not much of head wind but it was present.  6: 5:45 I started feeling my legs getting tired here but was determined to not let my time get slower. 7: 5:49 not bad started getting hit with some gusts of wind here.  8: 5:56 Dang! the wind was really bad at this point. 9: 6:07 gagged on a gu and felt it for almost a mile. But my body desperately needed it. we had headwinds and crosswinds as we zig zagged . 10: 5:56 Not bad considering i was in hell. 11: 6:32 This is where I was battling the God of wind Im not sure the name for sure but i know he got the point from my words to him. 12: 6:23 a few turns helped the wind subside.  13: 6:24  in the home stretch. 13.1: 1:17:41   11 seconds slower than last week.

Im glad its over!
