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

Held the Frary Peak Hill Climb today.  This was a "fun run" that took us from the Frary Peak trailhead  on Antelope Island to the radio repeater near the top of Frary Peak and then back down.  Six of us started.  The trail gains 1700' in 2.9 miles with portions that are flat, meaning that the remainder is quite steep.  The winning time was 41 minutes us, 26 minutes down for a time of 1:05.  I managed 3rd place (sonds good except there were 6 entries) and a time of 49 minutes up and 28 minutes down, 1:17 total.  My legs are shot today.  With the snow that fell Saturday, there was about 4 inches up on top.  The snow level seemed to be around 5700'-6000'.  The trail was clear except for a little mud where the snowmelt was running down it.  We had a bar-b-que after and really had a good time just going out for a good hard run followed by sitting around eating and talking.  I'll definitely do it again next year.  Rather than a formal race with an entry fee, formal timing etc. I'm going to keep it as a fun run celabration of running with friends.  Put it down on your calendar for either the first or second Saturday of October 2008 and join us.

Ran at lunch.  Felt very sluggish.  After yesterday's run up the mountainside, my legs are tired.

Ran a new route at lunch.  I was getting tired of my old 8 mile route.  The new one has a little less traffic on it.  I don't end up slapping as many car doors for not watching for a pedestrian.

Had to run to the bank at lunch, so.....I....ran to the bank at lunch.  Felt really good, so I pushed the pace quite a bit.  I actually felt "light" on my feet.  The turnover was good, breathing was easy.  All in all, a good run.  Don't know what my actual running time was, but without the stop lights, I think it was around an 8 minute pace.
