That's my son and I in the picture at the 2007 Buffalo Run.  He's always a big help and a pretty cool kid.

I direct the Antelope Island Buffalo Run, the Mountain View Trail Half Marathon, and the Antelope Island 50K/100K, all on Antelope Island State Park.  The website is www.buffalorun.org

Ran to work this morning.  Distance was a little longer since I didn't cut across the railroad tracks, that just makes mea little nervous.  Felt really tired but my time was about what I would expect, 2:04.  Maybe it was the 4.5 hours of sleep last night. The run home started out really slow.  I was not into it, tired, etc.  After the first couple of miles though, I started to feel much better and ended up feeling pretty good the rest of the way home.  Ran home 10 minutes faster than to work.  Time was 1:55.

Ran at lunch and had to make a concious decision to just take it easy and run slow.  It was kind of nice to just plod along and enjoy the day.

Ran one of my favorite trails after work today.  The BST from 22nd street in Ogden south towards Beus Canyon.  It was too much fun.  I felt great and managed to run every uphill section, even the steep long ones.  Pushed hard on the flat and downhill sections.  Had a great time passing all the flabby mountain bikers going uphill.  Had a grin on my face the entire time.  That's what running is all about, having a good time running in a favorite place.

Ran the White Rock trail on Antelope Island.  The bugs were out in force whenever the breeze was at your back.  I actually met a goal I've had for awhile out there.  I've always had a goal to be able to run up the grade to the White Rock/Split Rock junction.  I've never been able to do that due  to the grade and length.  Well Saturday I finally was able to do it without one step walking.  Felt pretty good.
