I run therefore, I am!

Went down to 98th with Misty and ran with Danielle on the park trail for  7 miles. I then went to my car to open it and stretch. I put the keys on the seat and the door shut on me which was no biggie. Then the doors locked! How the heck is that possible! I opened the doors with the key fob and after 30 seconds they automatically lock again. So I was locked out and Danielle had gone. Misty was still on the trail running so I ran back on the trail and told Misty I was going to run to Danielles house to see if she would give me a ride home to get the spare key. I ended up running another 1.5 miles and her brother took me home and back and we got the door opened which made us both late for work of course! 

 Ran later this evening on the Park trail from 7th west North. I saw Steve Ashbaker out and about.  

Met with the BBKs this morning at Bingham High School. We did a 4 mile easy warmup then a 1200 in 4:04, and 2 600's 1st was 1:52, 2nd was 1:55. Had to go to work and ended up with 6.5 miles. 

 Evening run went out to daybreak for a slow 10.25 miles. 7:21 average 1 hour and 15 minutes. legs are tired. I will take an Ice bath.

Met with Emily and some of her friends up in Corner Canyon. We ran up a single track trail to about 6700 feet in 5 miles which felt like Ragnar but was only a 1700' climb in 5 miles where Ragnar is 3600 ' in 7 miles. Very steep. When we got to the top we could see Utah lake and Utah county as well as Salt lake! What an awesome site! Very cool. My legs were thrashed and i was tired from last nights late run.  I will do more miles tonight. more to come...

5 miles around Daybreak loop. Just finished at 9 PM

I am in Lewiston, Utah...Home of the famous 4th of July festivities. These farmers know how to party.  I ran a 10k with approxiamately 50 total runners. They had a 1 mile and 5k also which was more popular. I started out fast of course with a 5:30 mile and then slowed my pace down when I was all alone. It was an out and back whichI I like to see where I am in the race. When I got to the 3.1 mile turn around, my brother in law was there with a water station and I saw that I was all alone so I stopped and drank the water and talked to him for a bit until I could see the second place guy. I then tried to get to a 6 min. pace but was suffering from a really bad head cold.  I had to stop and do the old farmers blow to clean my nose out. lol I immediately could smell the manure from the farmers fields which I thought to myself why I did that. I got a mile in 5:50 and then a 5:48 and I think my last mile was a 5:38 but I forgot to stop my watch.  I had fun and a local farmer actually got mad at me for running in it. He said i had no business being up here. Haha I told him for that Ill plan on next year. I set their course record its only been going for 3 years. They wanted to put me on a float afterwards for their Parade but I told them to just give me a rootbeer float and id be content with that. They gave me a medal and an Alveys Chocolate bar. yummy! I guess their first year they did this, they gave the winner a side of beef! I wouldnt mind that! Im off to enjoy the rest of the 4ths celebration. God Bless America!
