Today was the first annual lake to lake relay in  Saint George.      Hayden, Dustin James and my self set a course record!   (Ok it was the first one!)   We met up at the store and then went and got our Ace in the hole (Hayden)     (Bless you my child)   I was voted to run the first leg.   6.07 miles of nice road.    This was the longest leg but it was one of the easier ones.     I managed to hold on to 3 overall  and then” Nate the Great” took over leg two.  He ran his heart out.  He looked like man running in the  Olympics.   Then came Dustin who looked like a man possessed.  A man  who looked like he  was running from the IRS?    Then came James who just about missed the dinner bell. But made it up with his "Handsomeness"   Dustin was nice enough to give him his sweaty soiled stinky shirt!  With only one small request in exchange  "that he not sweat in it!"    We were in second place at this time behind  the Decker Clan "the Beast" and the brother of the Beast,  and his father.  and two other young guns that can fly.   Hayden our Ace put us in first place after his leg.  We  pretty much held on from there.   Opps the Wild bull did let the other team catch him at the end of his leg 6.  But "Nate the great"    soon corrected this and The rest is History.  Hayden ran the final leg into victory .  The Saint George Running team is deep in talent and guts.     Thanks to my team.  Thanks for all the support. And thanks to the Saint George Running store for sponering us.

Nice miles this afternoon.  I decided to try and change up my running schedule  and run during my lunch hour.    It is so nice in Saint George I have to ask my self if this is Heaven?    Then around mile 6 I crashed landed when my left calf  started Cramping.    I pulled through.  Bad choice of words....... I ran through it and made it back to the Rec Center and took a quick Shower.   I Will Run a few more tonight!

Nice night for a run.  Ran around the Black mountain and down a new trail by the river.  You never know what you will run into on a dark night down by the river.    The peole on the river are happy to give!   Big wheels keep on turning,   proud mary keep on rolling!...    The Toads were out making noise, Not one of them turned into a princess!   You have a Listen to  alot of toads I guess to get a  Princess.

I set my Alarm for 5:30 Am to meet up with Sweet Angela. "it's not about the Bike" It was difficult to get up but it was well worth the trip to the Recreation center. I was going to do some speed work last night but decided to let the calf take a break. It did not bother me, However hammies were very tight the whole run.

7 decent miles tonight.  a  warm night it was

We will call todays run "Return to Dead Cow Mountain"   James. Tyler, and my self started out early to see if we could hook up with Steve and mighty Dave.  About 3 miles into it we could see their Head Lamps.  Like  Twin beacons  in the dark.    We met up and passed like strangers in the night.    Steve said you guys are looking good.  In the Dark when you can't see 2 feet in the front of you "I am looking good."  We fought our way up to the Mighty Beast that gave up the ghost.   It still stinks.  And the "utter disrtuction" is remarkable. :)    We finally made  it back to the cars,   and after about 15 min I decided to go find the ultra Men, (Steve and Dave.)      I passed Dave   and continud up the road to find Steve.   I must of took the wrong Road because it seemed like I ran forever.     Finally I stopped and turned around and headed back.   The news here is that Dave  Ran this course 3 X  at 14 a loop you do the math.  The man is a magic man. I had a nice week of running.  Next week I will do some speed work.

Today was very nice. Decided to go out and run in the desert.   Ran up and through Mustang pass trail.   The Desert flowers are blooming  (yellow and purple all over.)   Trail has awesome boulders that stand out in the middle of a field.    Wide open spaces. Inspiring red mountains with pine mountin in the background.     Amazing Run.  Makes me grateful that I am able to get out and enjoy this eye-popping creation.     Later I went to see Hayden Run the mile. He ran a smart Race  4:22.    The kid can just fly.

Tonights run felt like every step counted.  The Body was just not into it. the mind just did not want to stick with it.  Seemed like it took forever!  I thought of Marci for inspiration.  If she can run 2 for 1 every day then i can run  with not many excuses.  No wimps allowed.  My days at work are long.   There are so many out of work.  So many who are trying to hang on.    I  am greatful I have employment. However, working 14 hours a day and  running 70 plus miles a week  is tough.    oh yea  I almost forgot    It is Taco Tuesday at Del Taco!!!  through the lips, through the Gums, look out stomach here it comes. :)
