billy boy, i hear you loud & clear! what are you suffering from? i've been out of the loop for 7 months. i'm going out of my mind!

guess we both just need to keep being patient. it won't last forever (it just feels like it)

hope your relative is okay. that's sad to hear.

I Drove to the store and was going to hook up with the guys, but I got there late and I was on my own.     About 2 miles into my run I ran into about 4 runners coming back on the trail.  I had a good run.  Felt pretty good after the run.   I decided to retire my 2120 Asics.  They were looking and feeling flat.   They were quite a pair.  We traveled many miles together.    They will be missed and I wish them a happy retirement!

I ran 8 miles on the dreadmill.  Did some core exercises and stair stepper 30 min?  I weighed myself on the scale.    Let me just say I am afraid to swim in the ocean in fear that I might get harpooned.

Wildbull, I agree, the parkway is great and the running babes are great, my wife Sylvie is one of them. I always carry pepper spray, not for people, have used it 3 times over the years on dogs coming after me. By the way, 3 hr Boston is a darn good marathon. It seems 2:50 or better at St.George is really within your reach. Your not old enough to be my dad, I am 57, but you could run me ragged. I like your MOTTO.

Had A fun run with the club.    Dave, Steve, Dustin, Alan, Mike, Marci, even Paul. And a few other fast runners.  We took off avg about 7 min miles for the first 5.  Dustin and I tried to hang onto Marci,  We made it for 5 then we broke off and headed back to the store.   This run felt good, but I had a hard time catching my breath most of the run.

Ran a few miles with the club.  I had to stop and stop and stretch out the back.   I have visited the chiropractor 7 x and have not gotten much better.   Maybe it is time to get a cortisone shot.   I will schedule an appointment with a sports medicine doctor.  Anybody have any recommendations for a sports medicine doctor in Saint George area?

Bill, Dr. Jevsevar, with Zion Orthopaedics, phone # 251-2650. He is the Doc that performed my knee surgery. He is hard to get into, (very busy), but he's good. His assistant is K.C. Hafen, he could also give you the shot and you would be able to get into him much faster. You still ran pretty good on sat, even with the pain. Have you decided to bag Painters? Cows may come and Cows may go, but the BULL goes on forever! You will be back!

From wildbulll on Mon, Jan 14, 2008 at 14:31:07

I have been to Jevsever when i had Planters and a fot fracture. He is good. but hedoes not do anything for the back.

From James on Mon, Jan 14, 2008 at 14:55:51

Cortisone only relieves the pain it doesn't fix the problem, I know. I would weight the options before getting shots that will eventually not work and can screw up your nervous system. Look into a massage.

From wildbulll on Mon, Jan 14, 2008 at 14:58:54

thanks James! I guess i will give Steve the Massage guy a call.

From Mike Warren on Mon, Jan 14, 2008 at 15:22:07

James is right, Cortisone should never be the first option. Although I feel it does have it's place. My wife and also a good friend of mine had planters so bad, walking was diffucult. Both had great success with the shot, my wife now in her third year with no pain. Bill, we have been trying to get you to call massage Steve!! You can do it, One Call that's all!!

From James on Mon, Jan 14, 2008 at 15:34:47

If massage Steve isn't what you want to do find a massage Amber like I did.

Everything has its place and can be beneficial if used correctly. But drugs and surgery should be some of our last options.

Chiropractors are good at breaking up the scar tissue so that you have more movement in your muscles, tendons, and ligaments. But if the problem is muscle related then a massage can loosen you up the best.

From Wildbull on Mon, Jan 14, 2008 at 15:49:48

James, I almost feel i am at the last resort. I have had this problem since October after During and after Saint George.

Thanks for the encouragement. I knew what I was getting myself into. I had already committed to running both races (both with Team in Training) and I knew I had to pick one for a PR and one for fun. I'm ready for some much needed recover time!

From MarcieJ on Tue, Jan 15, 2008 at 17:30:12

Hey I saw you out running down bluff, you were looking strong, just like a "wildbull" should! I was going to honk but then I remember how I hate when people honk at me cause you can never tell who they are. Nice run!

From Wildbull on Tue, Jan 15, 2008 at 18:04:24

Honk all you want. I get big points when woman honk and negative point when men honk!

From wildbull on Wed, Jan 16, 2008 at 10:17:13

From Mike Warren on Wed, Jan 16, 2008 at 13:20:01

We need to have a talk with Steve! He has stood me up a couple of times also. Good choice on the 5k, I wish you were running the 1/2, but you gotta be smart. Do I have you talked into Ogden Yet? 16 week program, begins Jan 28th!

From Wildbull on Wed, Jan 16, 2008 at 15:49:04

Love your quote at the end of your bio. I just turned 36 and I am ready to take it as far as the work I put into it. Thanks for the advice, I will run as many as possible this year. Going to try and run the Last Chance For Boston in Ohio Feb 17th, hopefully I can get back to my fittness before the stress fx.

What is your injury?

I have a nagging lower back problem! The doctor said it sacrotuberal muscle. He said I had a nerve that uns through it that is causing me pain!

Who were you talking to about changing to the 5K. I just changed it on the papers that Steve had, hopefully it got changed for me, because that is what I'm planning on running. Are you going to be there tonight?

From Wildbull on Thu, Jan 17, 2008 at 13:43:57

Man I couldn't stop hacking once we got back to the store and on the way home. I thought getting out and running would help me feel better, but I may have taken a step backward as far as trying to get over this sickness

From Dustin on Fri, Feb 08, 2008 at 13:14:24

Are you running the dam to dam race Bill? I don't know of many people doing it this year.

Chocolate milk, Umm does a body good! I wish I had the magic formula for the back, darn! Ya know, maybe just maybe, time for the cortosine shot. I waited till the bitter end with my knee, but if I wanted to run it had to happen. I know alot of people don't like this option, I researched and talked to several qualified medical people about it, before I made the decision. If given properly it is very effective. The only downside I came up with was, if you continue to inject in the same spot time and time again, you could damage and weaken your ligaments. One injection from my research is harmless, I receieved 2 in the knee, 1st one did not work. You and the Docs need to decide but, it seems you have had no luck with anything else. Just my 2 cents, I wish you the best pal.

From Hayden on Wed, Feb 13, 2008 at 00:20:24

man that sucks your back is hurting you hey im back to blogging. you are awesome bill, keep those miles up. take it easy man.

From Dustin on Wed, Feb 13, 2008 at 12:28:37

Bill you might find it beneficial to go back to last year and look over some of Paul Petersen's training. I know he was injured much of 2006 and part of 2007 yet was able to do some good things while cross training and then when he came back he was pretty smart not pushing it too hard too soon. I really think he could offer some good advice on dealing with injuries. You might also want to ask for some ideas on the discussion forum.

I had a cort shot when I was a junior in high school during cross country season and it helped for awhile, track season was painful but I managed. However, t wasn't until I broke my ankle the summer before my senior that I really forced to stop running. Looking back the weeks off with no running and then the time spent doing workouts in the swimming pool instead of the road actually gave my body some time off from the pounding. I was surprised I was able to come back pretty fast.

I just wish I knew what to do now with the hip pain. It is no fun being injured.

From Mike Warren on Wed, Feb 13, 2008 at 12:38:50

Bill, long run Saturday, meet my house 7 Am. 1868 N Serenity Dr. My wife will drop us on Utah Hill. Let me kow if your feeling up to it. We should have enough people, we will be droping at several mile locations, just in case you only want to do a little.

Went to Physical therapy again for the 3 xs.   This time i saw the Dad (mendenhall)  He was a little more obtuse and rather objectionable.  He told me not to run until my issues were cleared up.  he felt that my joint that starts with a “p”  was strained.       Worked out with sweet Angela.   She is looking real fine.   She is still an animal on the bike.

Today I got  a  surprise in spinning class.   Sweet Angela had arranged a substitute.  Her name is pushing Pamela!   Closer to my age and she sways to a different tune!  No AC/DC.      While we were spinning she would get off her bike and walk over to you and stair you down.  You could see the look of disgust in her eyes.  “Work those Gluts bubble! boy!”     At class end  I stepped into the puddle of pain created by sweat and tears. Oh sweet Angela come back, come back!     

Ten Miles on the road.  Felt great. Longest run i have had in months. I hace a massage scheduled today with April.  Oh it is going to feel sooooo good.

I  went and seen April and she is well worth the money for the massage.   I feel so much better.   She told me that the back is often the point that hurts when you’re under a lot of stress.   She said particularly the left lower back represents female relationship problems.   What an eye opener.  No wonder I have been in so much pain this last year.  But now is the time to seize the day!  Looking for Miss Right!  Who wants a short over the Hill Runner!    Mike has committed me to beat a 3:00 hour Marathon this year.  So I guess I better get committed and make sure it happens.

Good goal with breaking 3 hours. Are you thinking about doing Ogden or is that too soon?

Interesting stuff April told you about stress and back pain. I wonder what my hip pain is associated with?

Good job getting out for some more miles. I won't be at the club run tonight. Teaching driver's ed this week and next. I would like to do a longer run on Saturday, so let me know what the plan is.

Bull, you could be ready for Ogden. Why not? I say let it fly, your not getting any younger. By the time STGM rolls around, we may have to check you out of the care center, to let you run. (jk) You are my running hero!!

Bill it sounds like we are doing 3 by 6.5 mile loops tomorrow, with the second loop being at tempo pace. So for tonight I wouldn't do any tempo stuff.

I decided i needed some good tempo running.   I did 4 one mile repeats on the tread mill at 6:00 pace with a easy 400 in between  each mile.     I heard that I am supppose to come away with this kind of work out feeling I could do one more.  I felt pretty good!   

If i am going to break 3:00 hour marathon this year i need to make a good training plan.     150 LBS.    5 more pounds and i will be happy!

Thanks for all the running advise! I'll just be glad once I finally get there and finish! For some reason the sprints were easier than the steady long run for me, but I find I need to set short goals and then I do much better. :)

Plus work is crazy so maybe I just had the extra energy to burn.

From Maria on Wed, Mar 26, 2008 at 09:38:01

Bill, I say it's time you recruit sweet Angela for a marathon! Then she can channel her competitive nature into the right direction, rather than yelling at you early in the morning. Great job on your workouts!

From Mike Warren on Wed, Mar 26, 2008 at 10:12:25

Billy boy, awesome workout! I would come do the spinning with ya, but I think that would be a little too radical for my leg. I am actually scared of sweet Angela now! I would not fight her for the chicken wing! Crunch ball, you must be going for that sexy, 6 pack!

From Ally Holt on Wed, Mar 26, 2008 at 15:52:53

I Ran with the Club. No sign of Mr. Holt.   We had a good turn out.  It was a very windy day.   We fought the wind for two miles on the trail before we switched directions.   Felt pretty slow the first mile. Then picked it up.   Aaron flew out of the gate pretty fast I finally caught up to him at the ballpark.   After the run I went back to work my allergies really kicked in.  I was miserable all night!  (146 lbs)

I got to the gym 20 min late.  And sweet Angela was not to be seen.  Had some substitute with sub standard music.  It was almost boring!   Worked out with weights and abs after Spin.      I have a Massage scheduled today with April!  Oh I can't wait, She is the best!

Good job Billy boy. Remember to stay loose and don't force anything that can cause a injury. If you keep up this kind of running you'll be in great shape by the end of the summer.

Ran 6.25 at 4 today.  Nice warm day. I Ran most of it at a real easy pace.  Picked it up the last mile 6:10 pace.    After work at 9 pm. Went to the gym and ran 7 on the treadmill.   Did 4 x 1 mile intervals at 5.27 pace!      Decided to see how fast the treadmill will go.  Got it down to 4.48   min mile pace!    Rocky music does wonders!  Only hold this pace for a quarter! Any longer I would eat the wall behind me!

 

Robin called she said she was tired!  Just wanted to talk!   So we talked for 20 min on the phone!   I think it is time for new shoes!

Good workouts today Bill. I'm still amazed how fast you can get going on the treadmill. Sounds like things are going good with Robin. I'm planning on being at both of the club runs this week, so it should be good to see you guys. I've been feeling a little better the last few days. I think the calf is doing quite a bit better. I signed up for Hurricane Half, but still a little scared. I haven't done enough longer runs. I'm worried I might run out of energy around mile 8 or 9.

5:30 am comes awfully quick after getting home from Robins at 12 in the morning. Met up with the club on this dark morning. Steve, Ken, Dustin and Sasha from Provo. Steve plotted a great course for us. I decided to take over and try to lead the pack for a few miles because I knew that it would come down to a punishing run after 10 miles and I did not have the gas to keep up! I do not have my gamin today so I will have to look at the pace later. Just tried to relax and run efficient. Sasha was giving me encouragement the entire time telling me that I was looking good. Keeping quarter splits. After about 11 I began to feel dehydrated and had to slow down. Limped into the Jacob Hamblin home about mile 13 and filled up on water. Picked up the pace again but by then the guys were gone. Over all had a good run.

After a desperate battle with the mattress i got out the door.  I did the wild bull shuffle for 2 miles. I must of looked pretty bad.  I was thinking this run was not worth a nickel. Then i spotted a nickel on the road!    Guess i was wrong!    Ran into Dave and his young guns from pine view!  They looked terrific.     Will run another 8 or so tonight! 

10 easy miles in the desert reserve. I forgot how pretty it is out in the desert. All the flowers are blomming and the cacti are blooming bright red flowers. just beautiful. Ran out on the t bone trail.

Ran seven in the morning.  Clyde and i passed briefly he was going for 12 , and  i did not have that much time.  So we went out seperate ways.  

 

Went to Zions hiking for the day with Robin.  Met up at her house and she fed me breakfast oatmeal,  smoothie.   made  her work it today pushed her up the trail at a brisk walking pace.   She stayed with me the whole way what a trooper!

Spinning with sweet Angela!  Well guess what?  She is Pregnant again.  But i don't expect any drop off in our work outs!  She rocks my world every time.   She is planning on running the Hurricane half Saturday.  She is so competative. I have no doubt she will be in the top 5 for woman! 

Went to see April today.  She worked on the hamstrings.  had knots in them.  holy batman the pain.   Back is getting better!   

Got new shoes!   I will try them out tonight! 

Ran 8 more miles in the wind tonight.   raced some kid a bike up main street for a mile.     I beat him to the light just as it changed making it across the street.    thank goodness,  I was not sure how much longer i could hold the pace.  observed Dustin in action with his driving students!  He was screaming and yelling .  I thought i heard the word retarded coming from his car?

From Cheston on Thu, May 01, 2008 at 12:51:58

Yea, it's windy here as well. The wind gusts were as high as 60 mph yesterday. Puncture proof tires sound nice. Oh how nice it would be if I could just run down to the store and buy them like everyone else, problem is I live 3 hours from the nearest store and about 5 from the nearest bike shop. You city folk take city liven for granite.

Ran the Hurricane half. Felt good about the race. New PR for this course. Hills were tough.     

Got to be something wrong about getting up at 4 am to run  a race!  It has to be a sin!  

Picked up Steve and Marcie and headed over to Hurricane High to meet the buses.  It was a lot warmer this year. 

1st mile got out and lead every one. just showing off!  Ha  Ha

2.  settled down  and slowly let the leaders leave

3 still rocking away  6:24 avg pace.

Will put the rest of the report together tomorrow.

 

Mile 12 picked up the pace 6:25  felt strong going in which means i should of ran this course faster! I  need to get more mentally tough on the hills.

Planning on doing interval work tonight.  At least 5 1 mile repeats under 6 min pace. 

Signed up for Kanab 10 k.   Oh crap Dave Holt signed up!  He is going to be the 1st place winner! 

 I ran another 4 miles tonight  tempo intervals     went 3 miles at 6 min pace.    Then ran 1 mile at 5:27 pace on the treadmill.     probably should of done more but i am still feeling  a little suggish from the 1/2. last weekend.   calf and back a little tight!

Woke up at 5 am   and picked up Kendrik and Dave  at 5:30  and we headed to Kanab.  first timei ran this race and i think it just may become a tradition.    About 170 people showed up.  I was surprised it was so small.   even though it was small the people in the race were from all over.  california, Nevada,  georgia,   etc.     I told dave if he bets me he will need to run home!      Dave and i started out and left the rest of the pack behind up from the beginning!  No one  came with us!    So the first half mile it was just Dave and me!  Dave gave me a hand pound and started pulling away.  I  will give the mile splits on monday! firstteo miles were a slow decent.   mile 3-4  were rolling hills.   and the last mile a gradual up hill all the way to the finish!      Earned $ 100.00  for getting second place over all.    nice rock trophie.    Dave came in first of course and won a river trip for four.    I should of left him home!   Dave is a great runner.  I am glad he got first place.     Kendrik came in 4th place over all.     the food after the run was awesome.   fresh strawberries, bananas,  grapes, energy trail bars.   these people know how to put on a good race. 

After took Robin to zion theater and watched island of nimb.    She made me stew.  watched santa clause 3.   got home at 12 am.  man am i tired!  bring on mothers day!

Sweet Angela must be scaring people.  we only had 3 people which  included me.   So she gave me a little extra attention today and told me what she thought of me.  Lazy no good slow drag along!  ETC   I think she was up set because her tri last week was canceled due to weather.  Hoping to see April  sometime. 

Always on the run and thinking of Robin!

a few more miles tonight.  It is beginning to get a little warm!  Most of my work outs will need to be in the morning or later at night.

Easy miles with Steve, Dustin and 3 mile Mike Rockafeller Warren.  I must say it was fun to see Mike.  He is still the same Mad man!   Dustin and Steve already had ran before i got  to the store, So they were a little worn down.    Ran a short cool down after our run.  Feeling a little tired.

Was getting psyched to do 20 with the club!  Steve text me 1:30 in the morning and said he was a no go.   Then Dustin Called around 5:30 AM and said he was feeling sick.    So i was left to my self to think and talk to my self.   I decided to go up to the ice Box trail.  This is not a running trail.  It is so bad.  This Trail chews runners up and spits them out with scrapes and bruises and blood all over.    I wanted to run more then 15 but my body just would not go one-step father.     Spent all afternoon and evening with Robin and her children.   I am the UNO king!

Went on  club run!   or should i say the thursday with the living legends.   I was so intimidated.  these guys are awesome!

Dave H, Clyde B, Logan F, Ken , James H, Steve H, Hayden.  Aaron M.   I was feeling ok and decided to push out the first 7.    After that i slowed down alittle.    Was pretty  warm.   It is going to be a awesome sumer of training with these guys around.  Hope i live to tell about it!  maybe even write a book called "Running with living legends!"

Good Job today. I have a big request/ favor to ask you. Do you think you would be up for a long run next tues morning (like the 17 mi loop we did on sat). I am flying to Texas that day for the week and dont know if I will be able to get a long run while I am there. The biggest thing is I would have to go pretty early to get back by about 6:55. So let me know what you think, If you cant or dont want you that is totally fine!! Just thought I would ask.

Hey Bill, I got signed up for the Summer Games 10K, then went out with Steve last night and did a pretty good 18.5 mile run, I'm feeling a little spent this morning, but still planning to race. Are you driving your car up and if possible could I hitch a ride? I would help pay for gas. Let me know what your plans are. I'm not sure if I will be at the club run tonight or not. Steve said they were going to change the time to 7, instead of 6 pm.

From dave holt on Thu, Jun 12, 2008 at 11:26:28

Hey, what are your plans for going up to USG? I see Dustin is wondering the same thing. Let me know. Hayden is wondering about a ride too, and James. Maybe will have to take two cars. I don't know. I'll check back later.

WBR was Awesome.      Meeting many of the best runners on the Blog was what Clyde would say “ Making Memories” We had two great teams.  Both the Blue and the White teams ran with Guts.    I need to thank Steve Hooper and Shasha for letting me have this great experience.   Thanks Guys. 

 

We had a start time of 5 pm in Ogden.  The first few legs seemed Very warm.  I was glad my leg did not start until 8:40 at night.   I was put in Van GO GO.    At first I was nervous, because I only knew Steve Olsen and ran with him a few times.      Our Van of Spartans were, Steve O, Kory W, Stephen C, James M, Andrew M, It was a honor to run with these great warriors.      The legs we ran   were short.  Sleeping in the Van and in the parking lot was the most difficult.     I must say our Van of Spartans were Awesome.  I am glad I got to know theses guys.    Great team, Great times.   “Get busy living or Get busy dying.”

You asked how my team did. We came in 39th place and 2nd in the corp coed division. Took us 24:33. When you saw me i was done with my runs but just wanted a little extra so ran with my friend/teammate on her last leg.

I am seriousley thinking about Des News to just get a good training run in, could I maybe carpool with you up and back (I would stay at my sister-in-laws). When are you going up and coming home? (I would help pay for gas too!)

My next race is going to be Deseret news Marathon. Looking Forward to it. I make my own smoothies. Just ice, milk, fruit, yum. easy to make and fast. even protien powder if i want the mix. I really enjoy running with our guys down here. We get along great. We have alot of fun. just the other day we started our run from the store. I looked back at the group. I was in awe. Clyde, Dave, Ken, Steve, Hayden, Logan, Dustin. I about freaked. having all that talent in one group. (Running with living legends!)

I don't think I'll be at the club run tonight, but would like to hook up with you guys Saturday morning for a long run.

Also, great job on the relay. I haven't been able to blog much the last few days, but I was so glad you were able to get a spot on the team. It sounds like you really ran great on your legs.

Wildbull,

My parent's address is 3088 Windmill Drive in Santa Clara. Drive on Sunset heading towards Gunlock. Turn right at the light at the Sinclair gas station and follow that road up into Santa Clara Heights. (Chevron is on the left and Sinclair is on the right.) Follow that road which is a little curvy and go all the way to the 4-way stop sign. Turn right at the stop sign and go 3 streets down. Take the 3rd street on the left (Windmill). Their house is on the right side of the road. Look for a maroon Subaru wagon and our gold Hyundai Elantra with all of the stickers on it. If you have questions, call me = 801-391-7859. We are meeting at 5am and running Utah Hill.

You were on Green Springs both times. Yesterday you were probably just starting your run and we were coming down the hill between the golf course (not on Green Springs) and today I was coming down Green Springs and you were probably about done and turned before I got to you. Open your eyes when you are running, it might help!

Started out with lindsey  who appeared to be wantingtodoa litttle tempo.  My buddy aaron was not there so i decided why not.      after mile 3 linsey slowed down.  I slowed down,  but he did not seem to want to keep the pace.    I continued thinking that the guys would catch up as soon as they started there tempo.    I guess they decided not to do a tempo run today.    felt good about the run.  Did not feel good about doing it alone.

ran the second annual memorial Steve Abraham Lincon Hooper fun run.  This time with out the man who created it.     Ran with the legends  (Dave and Logan.)     Those guys are sooooooooooo   fast.     Logan attacted every hill like it was his enemy.   Dave was smooth as silk.   Logan tried to act like superman and almost went horizontal.   Guess he tripped on  a rock.  I must say this was much more enjoyable this year.  I actually felt pretty good except for the lack of sleep.  I could feel it when i hit the hills.  

I wanted to see if i could push the pace at mile 14 but my left foot started bothering me.  so i had to shut it down and just take it real easy on the way in.

No snakes this time, no bear tracks,  and best of all no stumbling.   The ice cold stream was such a treat after the run.   It felt great.   plud we stoped at Veyo and got a triple berry pie.  Yum,

Easy miles around the dog pound.   Decided to take 200 w instead of  300 w. less traffic .  Very easy run.   took it real slow.

I wanted to do my traditional tuesday interval work but when it came time to put on my shoes they were no where to be found.     so i had to go home.  I decided to just run a short tempo run in the dark from home.

Big fat o this morning. I am feeling really tired.  Slept in. need my sleep more then the run at this point.   looking forward to running tonight with the club.

Met up with an awesome group for the club run.

Aaron and i took off like the cops were after us.    Found out Aaron had some digestional problems and he bailed out after 3 pushing the pace 6:10.   I waited for the rest of the guys to catch up.   and contiued on with this awesome group.     after 5 hooked up with Dave, logan, kam, and Ross.    Logan started pushing the pace when we hit the golf course.  And of course like a dog after a car i gave chase.   We stopped and got water after about a mile.    I shut down at that point.  Just ran it slowley on in.  Cought up  Ross and kam  on the trail and pushed it on in.    Thanks guys for waiting.

Overall we had a good run.   And i got some great ideas from the mature guys.

a little side note.  I seen a giant raccoon on the trail.  The thing could of took me home for dinner.  ( Me being the main course)

Bill. Thanks for the comments. I haven't reviewed your blog for awhile. Your out of control!!!!!

I can't believe all the miles your logging. You must weight about 50 pounds or be eating about 10,000 calories a day.

I don't know how you find the motivation to run as much as you do, and for a man of your age!! I'm surprised the knees and hips haven't given out!!

Just kidding. What's your goal for the St. George marathon this year? I'm sure you'll be well under 3 hours with all the miles and hard work you've been putting in?

This was an interesting marathon.    I arrived in salt lake weds day afternoon and picked up my packet.    I  expecting a big marathon Expo.    No expo, just a place down stairs to pick up our packets.     I have always thought the Deseret News marathon was one of the biggest in the state.  To my surprise it is one of the smallest.     I arrived at my sisters and called Robin and we talked for 4 hours.   (thank goodness my sister had a  charger that fit my phone)   I had to get up at 2:00 AM  to catch the busses that started leaving at 3:15 AM.      After arriving  The Temps were a little warm but ok.  No problem for someone from St. George.  Talked to Sasha for a few minutes.  Found a spot on the ground and waited until 5:30 start time.

1. 5.34   Sasha and another couple guys took off like rockets.    Kenyans and me are just relaxing.  

2. 5.36   Last Kenyon starts to pull away.  I let him go.   Feeling great and relaxed. 

3. 5.41   feeling great easy running here.  Running with a guy who wants to finish around 3 hours. Having a great conversation.

4 5.59  course is flating out.  Hill time baby.  Feet are beginning to really hurt.  Speed stars have not been this bad before. 

 

My Battery just died on my Garmin.  Will give the rest of the splits later.   I ended up stopping 4 times to adjust my laces on my shoes.   One porta potty which took about 4 minutes.  

I think I could have been  at least 10 minutes faster if I would not of had the shoes problems. Besides my feet my body felt good.   The Gatorade at the stops seemed to make me sick.  So I drank water and relied on my Gue Packets to get me through.  The ceremonies were terrible.  The food provided was not to good.   I am grateful however to of ran this marathon.  I  gained a lot of confidence going into St. George.    I am going to switch shoes and run a couple of long runs in them before I use them in the St. George Marathon.   I am pretty sore.  My feet hurt.   My legs tired.  But I am excited about my future training getting ready for St. George.

Nice run this morning, real consistent the last 7 miles, which is a good thing.

From MarcieJ on Sat, Aug 02, 2008 at 17:49:21

Those are some great miles and esp with holdin back. I am planning on running up SC park on monday but if that falls through I will for sure be waitin at the rec center to get whipped into shape!

I met up with some Ghosts and gobblins around 5 am this morning.   Mike, Marci and two other strangers in the nght exchanging glances by the recreation center.   Nice easy run.  Mike was trying to use me as a wind breaker.  Then he began to pick up the pace running up toward webb hill.  diapointing weekend as far as  Robin is concerned, I did not see her at all sunday.   Her children came home.  had some sort of flew sunday.   :(     :(.    We only talked about 40 min Sunday.   I am now an offical Verizon carrier!    And no that is not some sort of disease

Bull, thanks for the run today. Are you having Robin withdrawls? You would have to triple in size, to break the wind for me. We need a nickname for Marcie, throw out some suggestions.

From wildbull on Mon, Aug 04, 2008 at 14:11:24

Met up with Marci, Mike at the rec center.  Ran a different course.  Marci was pushing the pace most of the way.  At one point i almost gave up and let her carry on.  Mike will be  in shape in no time.  left foot went numb. right foot is past the point of whatever.     New hours at my job is killing me.   Forget sleeping.

FYI

Most Socially Conservative College

"Because of the nature of BYU as a private institution run by a religious group, the school typically attracts a lot of Latter Day Saint (Mormon) individuals," most of whom are "friendly, clean-cut and religious," with an "emphasis placed on education and social interaction." They "never drink or smoke, work part-time and spend weekends either at the library or trying to find someone to marry." As one student explains, "Because of our religion, many students are very preoccupied with marriage and finding their special someone. This also is hard for those of us who are not yet ready to look for a marriage partner or who don't want to start a family right away." In fact, atypical students -- there are some, "usually distinguishable by the way they dress (they try to stand out)" -- can find it "hard to be around this culture." One student writes, "Sometimes I get really frustrated and don't like how close minded and judgmental a lot of the students can be."
BYU  Rocks!

20 miles . Metup at the store with a solid group of runners.  Good runners. the kind that put fear into a mans eyes.  The kind that make you wonder why you even showed up.    Mike, Bruce, Logan,  and the spirit of Steve!    Marci , Hayden,  Eric, James.  and another Girl who decided the price was just too high to pay,  and high tailed it out of there before we started off.   We All crammed into Mikes truck. What a guy! What a nice guy.   Every one was doing great until i started to put Vapor rub on my legs.  then suddenly Mike and Bruce and Marci wanted to bail out.   I told Marci that it was better then Pepper spray!    Mike almost told me to get out of his truck.  

We droped Mike and Bruce off at 15   and Mike was kind enough to let me drive his truck to the 20 point.  (Mike your truck clears giant boulders and jumps streams with  ease.)   What a truck!  

5  Brave souls took off from 20.  On our dark journey looking for road kill.  Logan, Eric, Marci, James,  and myself. Marci took the lead,  She had enough of the smell and was not going to hang back.  Soon after,  we all took off at a very comfortable pace.  so comfortable it reminded me of  a fluffy pillow.   after about a mile of warm fuzzy and barley avoiding head on trouble with a few cars.  (thanks logan) I decided to pick up the pace and get the show on the road.  (No head phones, No AC/DC  Nothing.  This run was going to be about just me and the road and trying to live with my self for the next 18 miles.  Finished and  avg 7 min pace. i was a little disapointed.  Wanted to run faster then that.    But this was a nice 20 in the books.

From Dustin on Sat, Aug 09, 2008 at 18:18:27

Nice run Billy Boy, did you get another Power-Aid slush from Sonic. My 25 mile bike ride made me pretty sore, but I'm going to try to hit some miles tonight, when it cools off. Next week is back to the grind of school. Hopefully, the hip cooperates the next few months.

Met up with Marci and Jeff this morning.      Started out and I just did not feel right.   I was breathing hard trying to catch my breath from the beginning.    Seemed like i was really struggling trying to just keep pace.  Back was tight,   no energy.  Right foot was screaming for a vacation.   Marci and Jeff were having a nice conversation and i was sucking Air. Jeff must think i am a jerk because i did not say much.   I thought if i picked up the pace the body would adapt. But that did Not help.  Even when the road had a down hill  the body just  did not want to move.  no get up and go.    Marci and Jeff were kind to stop and let me streatch the back a little.   I cut the 10 mile work out short and hobbled back to the rec center.  ran a few slow on the treadmill.  

oh yea almost forgot. I talked to Robin for 2.5 hours last night until 12 am.    Getting up at 4:30  hmm    4 hours sleep.   Why am i tired?

So you want to run Hobble this weekend? After my workout last night, I'm feeling pretty good. Of course still having some hip issues, but maybe with enough IB's and and some wintercrest I'll be ready to rock and roll

From Mike Warren on Wed, Aug 20, 2008 at 19:52:35

Bull is the wintercrest king! Although, he shouldn't be ptting it everywhere he does. Bull, you have to read the warning label. By the way, you were flying today. Was Robin watching or something. If you guys don't head north, lets do a long run on Sat.

From Tom on Thu, Aug 21, 2008 at 10:15:07

Bill your training has sure been great the last while, nice job.

So did you decide if you're going to run Hobble yet? Like you I've been a bit tentative about racing hard with all the aches and pains. I'll probably go easy the first 1/2 of the race and treat it like a downhill marathon tempo run then push it the last half if I feel good.

So most likely if you run it I'll be seeing your behind for the maybe the first 1/2 mile or mile then you'll be GONE! Good luck I hope it works out for you and Dustin to come an run.

From wildbull on Thu, Aug 21, 2008 at 10:15:38

Hi Mike. Decided this morning that i am going up north. Foot feels good enough. Not 100 percent. but good enough. I will try to be there tonight.

Hobble Creek half. is always fun.    Dustin and i Got on the next to the last bus up the canyon.   I would say there were over 1000 runners.  The start of this race is always interesting.  Narrow sarting line.   And every one wants to start at the front.    I got pushed back about 20 feet from the start and had to just wait it out for a half a mile before i could get going.   I decided the night before that i was not going to go all out and see how the foot responds.  I just tried to keep an even pace most of the race.   Got a new PR for the Half.    I am pretty sure i can hold this pace for a marathon.

Bill, I checked out the results and looks like there were close to 1080 finishers. I think you ran a smart race and you were still able to hit a PR, which is great! I think you are on track for a PR come the marathon.

From Tom on Mon, Aug 25, 2008 at 10:54:51

Bill you were running strong, I tried to catch up to you a few times but couldn't get to you. I was bummed with the 4th place AD finish but I was glad that it was you who got 3rd. Considering the reversal in placing at Race4Kids 10K back in April I guess that makes us even :)

I agree with Dustin that you'll PR at SGM and probably closer to 2:50 than 3:00. Same with Marcie. Hopefully I can keep you guys in my sights and you can help pull me along with you.

Today met up with our little group  we will call goldilocks and the 3 bears.  Marci, Mike, Bruce and  myself.  We decided to run a new course and we started out from the recreation center.   And ran toward green springs golf course then back down river road to 100 south and down by the college and back to the Reek center.   Marcy said we avgas 7:01 on   her Garmin. 

We ran about 9 miles.   I went into the rec center and ran 4 more miles.  Decided I needed to do some intervals so I did 3 one-mile intervals.  Each one set at 5:27 pace.  The  last mile cool down was avg 6 min pace.  Nice work out.

Bull, you're an animal. You already have a ton of miles this week. I'm planning on doing some 1000m repeats tonight after work and then maybe a few more easy miles. I really need to get my butt out of bed in the mornings.

I'm planning on doing the 20 mile race on Saturday. Sunny is going to volunteer, but I need to get in at least two more 20 milers and next weekend I'll be out of town. I'll probably do my last 20 miler on the 20th. Anyway for the race I would like to try to average between 6:20-6:30 pace, which I think would be a good workout for me.

Nice job Bull. I may go up through Snow Canyon and down past winchester on our run tomorrow. That should be 20+ with going thru Ivins. That will make Sat easier for me. Then maybe 6-10 on sat.

There will be no retiring for you. haha. Hey Sat. morning 5:00. 2139W. 1465 N. SG. From Sunset go north on Dixie Downs Road. Turn left on 1465 N. the road is chewed up, they are getting ready to repave. Go through the stop sign, then watch out for the very large speed bump as you enter my neighborhood. My house is on the corner.I'm looking forward to a nice easy 18mi. We can stretch it out if you need to. call me if you have any questions. 680-1592

From Dustin on Tue, Sep 09, 2008 at 11:07:43

Hang in there Bull. Listen to your body you might want to back off just a little this week, if you are feeling sore. There are a few good articles in this month's Runner's World talking about tapering, aches and pains and things that tend to happen in the weeks leading up to the marathon.

From Mike Warren on Tue, Sep 09, 2008 at 12:20:45

Bull, maybe breaking the sound barrier beat you up a little on Sat. Lets take it nice and easy tomorrow. Is the Rec at 5 good for you? We will do more talking than running.

Rise and shout the Bermuda triangle is up.  On our quest for perfection Mike, Marci and my self set out for another adventure in the dark.   We started out slow, and then Marci started picking up the pace.  Then out of nowhere Mike would come up strong from behind and pass like a flaming dart.  I was thinking to my self that these guys were tagging off trying kill me.   Each time I would go after the lead runner.   The last team tag Marci passed Mike on the trail by web hill.   She really put the burners on and it took all my will just to hang on.    Thanks guys for a great work out.    I almost forgot  had my colesteral checked great news 178.  lowest it has been in a long time.  and HDL was 74.  I think i will go to iceberg and get a  choclate alomond shake.

Happy B-day to Robin! I hope the Bull got her something nice. You guys are animals. I've been struggling a little this week from that 20 mile race and feeling some sickness. Today will be super busy with Parent/Teacher conferences, but hopefully I can get in some miles later tonight. We will be out of town this weekend, so my mileage might be down a little this week. Hopefully I can hit 60 miles this week and then I will probably start tapering next week. Though I do want to do another longer run on the course on the 20th maybe 15 to 18 miles.

From Mike Warren on Wed, Sep 10, 2008 at 16:12:50

From Dustin on Tue, Sep 16, 2008 at 10:04:48

Bill,

I wouldn't mind doing a 13 to 15 mile run Saturday down the course, with 8 to 10 miles at marathon race pace. I also wouldn't mind finishing the tempo miles at the park and then doing a few miles cool down from there. Any thoughts?

From wildbull on Tue, Sep 16, 2008 at 13:07:33

if we started at the snow canyon enterance and ran in to the park how many miles would that be?

From Dustin on Tue, Sep 16, 2008 at 13:16:33

I think if you start there you are pretty close to 11 miles. I remember we started around there last year when we did a run a few weeks from the marathon.

Bill- The circle of trust is thinking about doing a little camp out Friday night and then running Saturday morning. We were thinking maybe up at Oak grove campground and then running back on that road from above Leeds to where it comes out by my house. That or maybe up around Zion somewhere. All you guys are welcome to come too. Your triangle running club, Steve and Dustin and whoever else. We'll try and finalize our destination plans and let you guys know but it would be cool to have everyone along.

From Wildbull on Wed, Sep 17, 2008 at 17:36:09

I am not sure the Bermuda Triangle Will crash the Camp out. But it does sound fun. Thanks for the invite. I will relay the message.

From Superfly on Wed, Sep 17, 2008 at 19:44:21

Bill you wouldn't be crashing the party. We want everyone to come up if they can. It will make it fun. We most likely will just go up Friday night after dinner so we don't have to worry about food and stuff. Just kind of low key with a big bonfire.

Nine easy miles this morning with the Bermuda Triangle. Mike was hanging back like a guardian Angel until he took off down by the river.  Marci and I just eased along.   Then Marci said let us real in that fallen Angel inn.   Ended up running 7:05 pace avg.  That is good considering that we started out real slow.   Nice work out guys.

I am still a littel sore.   This next week will be about just relaxing.  running easy miles.  Ran 3 miles with Marci and Kendrick  before the race,  Ran 4 more miles with Marci after the race. about 2 with Dustin after the race.   I am Feeling good about next week.  I will run 2-4 tonight with the woman I love.

Hey Bull

Do you guys want to plan somewhere to eat dinner Friday together?

I was thinking about dropping by the blog party at the park for awhile, but also heading up to the cabin in time to watch some of the BYU game against Utah St.

Not sure if you can call BYU-USU a game. Game implies equality. This will be more of a beatdown (and don't forget, I live in Logan, even).

From wildbull on Wed, Oct 01, 2008 at 13:33:29

I think USU will not go go into the night with out a fight!

Good luck this weekend Billy boy. Just run a smart race and you'll pound the 3 hour guy to death. You might pound the 2:50 guy too. Don't get too crazy and run the first 5k in 16 flat. Work into the race and make sure you can open up after the half. I'm excited for you buddy- go get it!

Ran the saint george marathon.   Though race, bad conditions.   cramped up just after veyo.  

1. 6:33  2. 6:49  3. 6:35  4. 6:38 5. 6:44 6. 6:30 7. 6:41 8. 7:57 9. 7:39  10. 7:38 11. 7:49 12. 7:42 13. 7:13 14. 7:40 15.6:49 16. 6:49 17. 7:11 18.7:30 19. 7:57 20. 7:44 21.7:24 22.8.17 23.8.03 24. 7:47 25 8:37 26. 8.33

My back was pretty tight.  the weather  conditions really made me shorten my stride.   Made it hard to maintain any sort of pace.  Especially after mile 8.  All the way to the finish.   Not happy about this time.   But I am happy about my effort.  I never gave up.  Never called it a day.  Finished with pride.

Man we all had a bad day didn't we? I had the cramping issues as well around 17, then it was all just trying to finish after that. It's pretty darn frustrating when you're not even tired, you're running downhill, but your cramped up legs won't let you do anything.

But we will surely have our REVENGE!

Bill, I'm waiting for a more complete race report??? Thanks for your help the other night

From James Holt on Tue, Oct 07, 2008 at 11:51:41

Knowing how long you guys talk on the phone, that probably worked out to about 1 hour pace per mile.

How is the foot doing? What did the doctor say about it? I'm just trying to get back into shape. The Butch Cassidy race was ok, nothing too exciting, but I did like the course and would like to go do a few training runs out there.

From wildbull on Thu, Nov 06, 2008 at 15:38:16

Hi Dave. Just living and counting the days until i can run again. Stress fracture in right foot. Doc said no running until thanksgiving. Are you running snow canyon? i am still doing some cross traning. trying to keep the weight off. I might run the 5k saturday with Robin.

From Superfly on Thu, Nov 06, 2008 at 17:21:42

Billy you will get arrested carrying around those "guns" in public. Don't you need a permit or something? You should come ride a bike with us during club runs and on Sat morning runs...

From Dustin on Fri, Nov 07, 2008 at 11:51:31

Hope the foot is getting better

Ran with Robin. She ran hr first  her 1st 5 k.  She did really well.  I took her out to fast in the beginning .    Some kind of coach I am.     It was nice to see every one at the race.  They all did well.
