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

| Whew, another 30+ yesterday. Went with a friend and ran around Pineview reservoir on the roads, then headed up Wheeler canyon on the trail toward Snowbasin. Once at Snowbasin, we went up the access roads to ridge above the Needles lodge, then traversed over to the Beus Canyon trail that goes to the top of Mt. Ogden, then ran down that trail to the trailhead. What a great run. We both felt great after. I'm a little stiff this morning, but virtually no soreness at all. We started at about 6:45 and finished up at 2:45, so 8 hours for the distance. It was nice and cool running around Pineview, then stayed cool as we went up the mountainside. It didn't get hot until the last couple of miles coming down Beus Canyon. The air was nice and clear so the views from the top were fantastic. We had access to water at all the right places, the car after our Pineview loop, Snowbasin base and Needles Lodge. I used Cliff Shot Bloks exclusively (except for one PBJ) for the run and downed about 4 packages. That seemed to be plenty (1000 calories total?). With views and a good time like that, why run roads. Nothing beats a good, epic run with a friend. | | Add Comment |

| Did my run on the treadmill. Was going to run at lunch but didn't have time. Here I ran 33 on Sunday and had no blisters. I run 5 on the treadmill and pick up two. What's up with that? | | Add Comment |

| Ran the Clearfield Freedom 5K again. I generally don't like to do 5K's. I think they're way too hard and I'm not fast. At last year's race I somehow managed to take 1st place in my age group (45-49). First time I've ever done that. I went back this year to see if I could do it again....and I did. I ran this year's race over a minute faster than last year's and it's agood thing. My time from last year would have been good for 4th place this year. So 23rd out of 144 wasn't too bad I thought. Especially for not being a 5K runner and running over 17 the day before. | | Add Comment |

| Ran the local roads this morning. Was planning on going around 15, but the legs were pretty dead and I just couldn't get into the run, so I cut it a little short. | | Add Comment |
