Got up 6 am. 48 degree, sore throat. felt pretty good mechanically. Ran on new paved road. Nothing like the smell of new asphalt. I want to run at a faster pace. need to work on flexibility. also figure out my stride. I do not want to over stride. but i don't want to over work my legs. looking like mini mouse either. this week i am going to concentrate on foot turn over to see if i can increase my speed.

Ran with Clyde, Dustin, Steve, Got there a little late, and I Did not have time to stretch enough. About 4 miles into running I had to stop because my lower back was hurting. I stretched out and it felt better the rest of the run. Clyde and Steve continued on down the trail at a blistering pace. I decided there was no way to catch them so I took the trail above them and intercepted them coming back. We went over foremaster ridge and ran fairly fast the last two miles. Clyde runs like a dear. He must be getting free Blood transfusions or something. He seems stronger every time we run. And is always pushing the pace. Steve is looking stronger every time also. Steve has an extra gear that comes out of nowhere. Dustin is amazing. He runs his best on flat paved roads. I think these guys will help me become a better runner if they don’t kill me first.

I got up at 6:30 am and ran for about 35 minutes. Took 800 mg of ibuprofen the night before. What a lifesaver. Ran slow first mile then picked up the pace. Pushed it the last mile. Felt good. Will run another 6 tonight.

I Literally had to pry my ugly carcass off my silk sheets this morning. The Body and the mind were weak in the cold dark morning air. Ran 5 easy miles. Not even the pounding beat of ac/dc from my mp3 player could motivate me to push it up to threshold speed. I even stopped to pick up 25 cents. Thinking as I stopped “who says running does not pay.” I think my allergies are beginning to act up. It feels like a cold. But I don’t have all the cold symptoms.

The Wildbull invaded Utah county Friday around 3 am after fighting off the perfect storm all night. The freeway was slicker then Steve’s oiled head. I managed to run up to Bridal Veil Falls. Beautiful trail all the way up the canyon. I was looking for Sasha. And he was nowhere to be seen. Maybe, Somehow, he heard that the WildBull was coming to town and decided to take a couple of days off! It was nice to run in Happy valley again.

I ran at four in the afternoon today. Felt pretty good. As I was running; I saw this bald headed runner about two hundred yards in front of me. I thought to my self; This must be the "Desert runner." To my surprise it was not the man. It was a cheap imitation from New York. It was a nice day and the heat was on, so I took my shirt off by the river. The Moon must have been full tonight, because the howling from the passing by cars was more frequent then normal. The thought of the day is: Hills are easy as long as you’re going down them!

Ran with the club. They beat me like a card on a bicycle wheel! I should of known something was up when I noticed Steve was doing a warm up around the park before we even got started. Clyde the glide gave me that Clint Eastwood smirk as if he were saying, “do you feel lucky punk. Well do you!!” We started up the hills about 4 miles worth. Every thing was going fine, until the last mile. Clyde took off like a rocket, and Steve took off like lighting. Steve unleashed the beast with in and lost us all. I hung back just to make sure no cops were trying to catch them for speeding. We ended up running a little over 7 miles. I decided I needed to do a few more miles, so I went out that night and ran 3.5 more.

Got up 6:30 AM and ran 3 miles. I put my Garmin on and kept looking at how far I was running. Every tenth of a mile I would look down at the watch and move on with utter disgust, I kept telling my self, “I can not turn around and head for home until I went out 1.5 miles.” As I passed East Ridge drive, I gazed up its mighty mass. It beckoned me; so I took the challenge and galloped up its sturdy side, wheezing all the way. At the top bent over gleaming in triumph and looking at the view. I said to my self; I did not need to have half million-dollar home to see the view. Just a pair of good legs and a will to get there. ran another 4 miles at night real easy. Easy as pie!

I am still battling this dog called a cold. So I decided it would be best to stay out of the cold and rain today. It was a tough call. Today is our regular club run and these guys in the club keep me honest. Sure I could find some blond babe to run with that would be better company, but I run to race, and so do these guys. I ran 9.5 miles on the treadmill at the gym. Boring as a turtle on a hot summer day. To keep my interest, I kept myself up to race pace 6:13 min miles for the first 6 miles. Then slowed it down on incline to 7:00 min miles the last two. Then cranked it up a notch 5:00 min mile pace the last mile. With my sweat flying off my body like a rabid dog, People around me begin to notice and anxiously anticipate me flying off the back of the treadmill and eating wall. Someday they may get that show, but today is not that day.

Got the bones out of bed at 6 am this morning. Went to my spinning class. This class lasts an hour and instructor; “a blond bombshell” keeps me moving. I definitely get an aerobic work out. I could go running, but I feel I need give my body a break from the pounding of running at least twice a week. I will run at least 5-6 miles tonight.

The stars must be aligned right today because I actually felt pretty good this morning. Went out at 6 am and ran my usual rout. Ran a good pace around 6:30 min miles. Getting light earlier and the temp 40 + makes it nice.

I woke up to the pounding of a cement truck this morning at 5:30 am. My blessed neighbor decided he needed a little more drive way. Since I was up, I decided to go for a run. Nice morning for a run. Kept it simple and ran with out my mp3 player. Just the cars, the sky and me. Feeling a little sore in the legs so I did not push it too much. Ran 7 miles. Will do about 3 more tonight.

The Bull went up to Salt lake after the 20 mile run with the club. Stopped by some place called the china bowl in Orem and had shrimp. The Bull has been running ever since. Food poisoning. The only running I have gotten in is between my bed and the bathroom. I guess you could call that "Threshold speed."

Went out with the club. Ran about 3 with Clyde and Dustin, then ran with Steve for two miles. Felt a little tired so Steve held back a little. Happy that I am now down to 150 lbs. Not a good way to loose weight.

I ran up the T-bone trail. The wind was gusting and the lighting flashing and the very pillars of heaven seemed to be shaken. As I was Running down the road, I saw this muscle man running toward me. I said to my self "the Hulk is a fictional character, ain't no way!" I knew there was no way to out run it so I steadied my pace and said a prayer! Each passing stride as our gap narrowed, a familiar smile greeted me. To my relief it was Clyde the glide. We exchanged a few words and parted ways until next time. I am still sick. Had to stop several times to take care of business.

Ran at 4:30, Ran from 100 S down to riverside drive down the virgin trail up to mill creek high then back over fore master drive. And back to work. Nice warm day. Forgot my hat. Eyes were stinging from the sweat off my brow. I only had to stop 3 xs to take care of business. Calves feel tight. Exciting news. Got my Boston info in the mail. In the first wave, blue bib # 2544.
