I run therefore, I am!

I went up to Logan yesterday and watched some of the runners come through before a birthday party started that I attended.  Im a little upset at myself now that I didnt run Top of Utah this year but I know it would have been my last race of the year.  I found an article in the Herald Journal about me and Sasha predicted to be among those to win the race and look at me, I didnt even run it.  The one time I get recognition in a local paper and im a no show. Im not sure why the columnist of the paper has an interest in myself, but I feel embarrased now.  Oh well, live and learn huh!?

Yes my sleep time needs improving.  I got up and was going to do 5 miles and got a phone call from a police station in Heber from my foreman of my crew that he was arrested and needed me to come get his pickup.  I went up there and arrived at 7:30 and they wouldnt let me take it. So I begged with them for the tools that were in it.  They allowed me to them and I cleaned all my drills, transits, expensive stuff that I needed for the day and then went up to the job site.  It started to pour up there so I called it off and had to go help my foreman get out of Jail. After $200.00 just to get him out I told him that my patience of losing money on his cause was frustrating me into no sleep and no money!  I told him that I was up all night trying to decide on whether I should fire him or not and this kind of pushed me to a conclusion.   Frustrating!  I will try to get in some miles this evening after all my little meetings with people are over. 

I slept really good last night.  Finally!  Ok things at work will get better, I had to fume my frustrations out and now im good.  

I ran with the BB runners  this morning in the dark and did a 2.5 warmup,  1x1200, 1x800, 1x400, then a 2 mile tempo run, then a 1x800, with a 400 recovery mind you and then 1x400.  Binghams track has a metal fence around it so you cant get in. We found a way around the back.  

Too much to do this morning so no run. I was planning on running this evening but at work up at Timberlakes by Heber I was working and rolled my ankle so I will Ice this sucker. 

I ran 13 miles with Trick this morning around South Jordan. We started at 5 and she was having a hard time after 7 miles or so but finished strong. 

I ran 6 glorious miles in the dark by myself around daybreak.  I accidentally woke up at 1 am this morning and took a shower thinking I was late for work and when I got out of the shower I looked at my watch and it said 1 am. Brilliant! So I got another 5 hours of sleep before my run. Oh yes, Im losing it! 

I decided to do a nice slow paced 15 miler.  I started out with Misty, Charity and Trick.  I made it about 9 miles with trick and then took off on my own at a 7 min pace. It took me 2 hours. It was a bit chilly on the park trail and extremely dark!  We started at Tricks house which is 1 mile from the 90th s. and 7th w. opening.   I really like running on the park trail because there are usually 50 or so people that i run into and that is peace of mind when I leave my wife by herself. Im excited for SGM!  Its going to be here before I know it!
