| I ran with Dustin and Steve. Feeling pretty tired the entire work out. not sure why? felt good about getting the longest run that i have done in over 6 weeks. Steve looked real strong today! especially after he took off his shirt! He and Dustin picked up the pace around mile 6 and smoked me. I feel good about my progress this last week. |

| I waddled out into the warm evening with my mp3 player in hopes of crusing to that runners plain of total exhaustion/elation equation.” runner high.” I completed my 6.2 mile journey and returned to my building to lock up. I got into the elevator, pushed the button to go to the bottom floor as the doors closed the elevator had become stuck. here I was standing in a frozen elevator in a locked up building. that would not be open for two days. thirsty dripping in sweat. I peered down at the buttons on the panel and noticed a call button that connected to some sweet lady. It took a long half hour but the fire department showed up. |

| Today Clyde and I went up to Steve’s home. We met Dustin at Steves place. On the way up Clyde and I were amazed at how many people were running the marathon course. We must have seen around thirty men, woman and children all dodging speeding cars. When we got to Steves place he had an adventure all mapped out. A rumble in the jungle! A dog eat dog path. As we were running, I could almost hear the faint sound of banjos echoing through the distant canyons. Childhood songs of “over the river and through the woods to grandmother house we go” came to mind. All was well until mile ten and Clyde put on the after burners. In the end Steve cooked up a great breakfast. I felt relieved that I was able to run that far. I met my goal of 42 miles this week. iam shooting for 50 next week. will try and do two a days at least twice next week. |

| I ran my old path this morning. The moon was full and fleeing the morning sun. I decided to be bold and wear the red body shirt. Have you ever seen a 40 year old in a body shirt? Makes you want to run!! (run away that is) I started out slow and picked up the pace. I really enjoy running in the morning. I feel I get a better work out because it is not so hot. Trying to train my mind to concentrate on my breathing and keep those negative thoughts that want me to slow down at bay. RAN ANOTHER 4 TONIGHT. CALFS GOT CRAMPS. HAD TO STOP. TOOK POTASIUM PILLS TONIGHT. |

| I started out around 8:30. all decked out and no one to run with. so I took the lonley trail by the virgin river and ended up running some of the painters half marathon route. My lower abs are very sore. takes me almost a mile of running to losen up. I could also tell that i had not ate properly because my energy level was way down. I need come to reality and realize that not eating right affects my training and performance. |

| Ran a few miles with Dustin and Steve at 8 pm. still very hot at this time so we decided to take it down by the river. we were running at a nice pace most of the way. I was just feeling good about every thing then steve decided he had had enough. he put it in high gear and took the lead for good. he must still be upset about my soap opera comment. took the hat off for this run. felt cooler not to have it on. |

| July 24th started out being a fine day. Went running with Steve and Clyde and Dustin up near Steve’s place. Steve had this 17-mile trail all mapped out. our adventure began at the base of a mountain in pine valley. We were all decked out with camel packs and power bars. The trail looked simple on paper, I thought Steve must have got the map from Daniel Boons training guide for marathoners. About ten yards into the trail we ran into one-way Willy and his dog Ralph. Willy was all packed for a three-day hike on the same trail we were about to tackle in a couple of hours. The trail was steep and full of deadly ankle breaking rocks. A challenge that even mighty Brigham Young may of declined. The views of the valley floor were spectacular. About 6 miles into our 17 mile tour we decided as a group we better turn back because the trail did not appear to be getting much better. So we took our rag tagged war torn legs back down the trail. I gave my usual donation of blood sweat and tears to this happy trail falling down a record 5 times. We met up with one-way Willy who briefly told us that if we would of kept going the trail would of gotten even worse. At the end of the run we were able to get into a nice cold creek. or "Crick" if your from Pine valley. |

| Got up at 6 am. Walked out the door and the warm air could of melted a chocolate bar. I put on my mp3 player, and found only one side of the head phones worked. This caused my right leg to move faster! I really notice how much my body wants to slow down after mile 4. I have to really concentrate to keep my pace up. I need to get my endurance up. will run again tonight. went another 8 tonight. it is hot |

| I went out last night with the club fully expecting to have a good work out. It was hot and humid. Around mile 5 my body decided to go south. Unfortunately Steve and Clyde wanted to go north. I felt it was heat exhaustion. Steve suggested t was probably all the miles I did the day before catching up to me. Steve held back and towed me back to the park. |

| Took off with Clyde. we only did 15 but it felt like 26. We did not run fast. kept a pretty slow pace. I am glad this week is over. Clyde is amazing runner. He is getting better all the time. I think he could run a 2:30 this year in STG marathon. looking forward to a day off. Clyde gave me some sort of drink at the end of the run. I think it helped me recover some. I hope they don't test me monday for Roids:):) I viewed my miles this week 69.25 and got a little disapointed. decided to correct the problem and run another 2 tonight. now i feel better. ahh |
