Happy new year. It is time to start making some short term goals. 2006 was not all that good to me as far as running goals. 07 should be different.

Ran wih Steve and a new person  who's name escapes me at the moment.    We ran into the desert reserve.   Nice trail run. It has been awhile since i ran up that way.    My ankles had a good work out.  slightly twisted  one.  lots of rocks  etc.   Steve is awesome, and is almost as strong as a Bull.   Steve and I were neck and neck the last mile.  he turned and looked at me and smiled, then went by me like a jet passing a bye plane. 

Break. Cereal, Banana.   Lunch.  16 oz chocolate bar . Top roman, vegtables, egg.  64 ounces of water, 64 ounces sope diet one carb.  Dinner:  piece chicken, one piece pizza.    and one  therapist!    Wow...  what a ride!!

I decided that Dustin is right.  I need to re evaluate my goals and work on  obtaining more realistic times with my races etc.   It is a good way to be happy with my running again.

Today i ran the Mesquite  10 mile.   The people that organized it were not to good.  We waited a good  half hour just to pick up our number and chip.      They drove us out into the desert on a bus.  I felt like a troubled youth going out to the desert to spend some hard time.   When we arrived at the starting line.  I took  my  usual warm up jog and sized up the competition.  Oh crap Steve Olsen!    I Did not recognize  any one else that i thought would give me a go for my money.  I did see Toby and his wife who were not running this day.    I started out  fine,  But i missed the first mile marker,  then decided  not to worry about the splits.   first ten k was fine    39.38.   legs a little tired.  Hit a hill at mile 7 and some 20 year old from salt lake cought me.   I draged behind hind him  the rest of the way.     Toby  paced me for about a mile on mile 8 up a hill.  toward the end.   I almost cought the guy ahead of me.   if the hill were just a little longer i would of over taken him.       Ended up    107.45      I will take the time.  The guy that won the race. was from Indiana  he came in at around 53.    I came in 10th over all.   2an in division.    I am not use to getting second.   Booo.     THE SHOES FROM THE  ST. GEORGE RUNNING CENTER   really helped.

The story for today: Mr. Yasso 800 and miss Buffet got together today.   It was love at first sight, but after one time around it was obvious that they had some major differences.  After two times around Mr. Yasso 800 got sick to His stomach just thinking of Miss Buffet.     It lasted a total of 3 minutes and 20 seconds and they both understood that they were clearly incompatible.   

I ended up doing 8 x 200 at the Dixie track.   2 mile warm up and then 2 mile cool down.       Pretty sore after words.  Left knee was not happy about the work out. 

Break :  cereal, lunch:   (God fathers Pizza) 5 plate’s pizza staked 4 high.  Potatoes salad, Mac salad.
