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.

Good Job Bill, sounds like you had a good race, Steve said your time was faster than last year, so that is what we like to hear. I did a speed workout in the shoes yesterday and they felt pretty good. I ran with the guys this afternoon, but I was pretty trashed didn't go very well.

Bill you looked very good and relaxed it seemed you kept your pace all the way and finished strong and who is this Steve Olsen? What time did he have, I wish I had seen you before you got on the bus and you could have gone with us to the start although the bus looked pretty comfy, take care and thanks for the run on Thursday, be back in a coulpe of weeks.

Good job going down there and running a good race. Sorry no one else from the club was there to run with you. That's a pretty good time for this time of year. Just keep building on it.

Nice job Billy Boy, Its is interesting to note that you know so well the feeling of being a troubled youth hauled off on a bus... Hummm Flashback?!
