only did 3 this morning. Thursday night is club night here in St.George. Met up with Clyde at the park. As I approached he looked like a young Sigmund Freud with his goatee. I think he asked me how my mother was doing. Steve came a few minutes later. And I guess Dustin had a day up at Zion Park running through the narrows dodging flash floods all day. Steve, Clyde and my self pushed forward into the night for a 9-mile tour. Steve and Clyde were rambling about their favorite barney show while I was gasping for air and wondering where I could find an oxygen machine. I feel like I run like a rental truck. The kind that has the sticker on the dashboard stating not to exceed 45 mph. I am getting worried about Steve. Every time we run, he is getting some strange cat calls from non female fans in trucks. We may have to start calling him “pretty boy Steve.” I finally caught back up with them around mile 8. Glided our way back to the park.

I went to the gym at 4:30 and decided to do a few miles on the treadmill. As I began, I noticed some sweet old lady next to me running at a nice 8 min mile pace. I smiled as I cranked it up to 9 mph. She bellowed out like a dragon on roids “hey sunny lets get it on.” I glanced over with utter shock. Then I said “ bring it” she cranked it up to 9.5 mph, and I cranked it up to 10 mph. She looked like she was going to loose her dentures. I briefly held on to the side rails and she screamed, “that’s cheating sunny.” She cranked it up another notch to 10.5. I am use to being last on the club but there is no way in heck I am going to let this lady on the other side of 50 show me up. I cranked it up to 11. I thought there is no way she can maintain this pace for long. To my surprise she kept it up for almost a mile. After my victory lap on the treadmill. She left with a smile and I left with the feeling that father time is trying to catch me. I got up this morning looked in the mirror and saw my buzzed head. I got this army hair cut saturday. I am hoping it will help me take 30 seconds off my mile. Calf still a little sore. it does feel better then saturday. ran 11 tonight.

Ran Home from work. Man is it ever hot. Holy fry pan. 9 pm still 98 degrees out side. I think I ate to much on the ship. I probably gained 15 lbs. that is after each meal. we had assigned seating for dinner and no one would sit with us after the first night. I guess they felt I was sick or had some sort of eating disorder?

“A Day of analogy”

I paid for my vacation today around mile eleven. I whipped out my credit card and slid it through the machine and it came back stating over the limit. If I were from Russia I would say you can’t get goats milk out of a wild bull. Or if I worked at the hospital I would say, “ you can’t get blood out of a turnip.” Or if I was a geography teacher I would say don’t buy beachfront property in Montana. Or if I was self-employed I would say don’t move to central Utah if you need fast Internet.

I ran 6 miles today. set my alarm and got out the door. i was doing fine, with some discomfort in my left calf. around mile 5 i met up with the pine view x country team. I told myself here is your chance to show off. But my calf screamed at me and forced me to stop running. hopefully i can work this out before saturday. went 6 more tonight. calf still not in good shape.

ran down hobble creek. i woke up at 6 am and drove from salt lake to mapleton cought the last bus 6:45. It was a awsome site. lots of good runners. among them was are team. the st.george runing club. Clyde,Dustin,Steve. It Was a good race. I knew i could not run at full race pace. But i felt like i could at least use the race for a training run. My left calf really bugged me from the first step. I figured it was fitting since the race is called HOBBLE creek half. going to salt lake for a couple of days. i have a work conference.

I witnessed a hit and run last night! I was running along 100 so by the under pass near 1000 e. poor thing zipped in front of A car. the poor guy was flopping around on the ground until another car ran him over (the poor thing.) to make things worse i almost ran him over going home from work. My calf feels like the prom queen from Torrey utah has been chewing on it.
