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

Come on out and run it, we have a good time.

Ran in to work this morning.  Nothing like a little run to put you in a good mood for work.

Did a tempo run at lunch, felt really good, warm sun, cool air, very nice.

Ran home.  Took it easy to the train station, then felt so good I ran at the upper end of easy, not quite tempo.  Actually busted 40 minutes for the first time.  Roughly an 8:30 pace.

Had my wife take me to the train station this morning, so ended up running just 2 this morning.  Ran another 5 at lunch.  Had big plans to do the run home thing and did run to the train stations, but my wife called as I was running home and offered to pick me up.  I never pass up the chance to get picked up by a hot chick in a big truck.

Ran in to work this morning.  A little bit cooler, but not bad.  Average pace.  Ran another 5 at lunch.  Thought I was running pretty good until I looked at my watch, then I got depressed with how slow I was.  Oh well.

Ran home after work.

Had tot ake the car into the shop and didn't get a chance to run in to work.  Ran home instead.  The cold front must have gone thru while I was on the train.  It was warm with no breeze in Clearfield, then cold and blustery from Ogden.  I really dislike running in cold weather.  Oh well, guess I'll have to get used to it again.  Ugh!

Speaking of cold and blustery, anyone wanting a fun little 5.8 mile run Saturday, come out to Antelope Island and run my Frary Peak Hill Climb.  It's a FREE RACE with a bar-b-que after.  Race start is at noon, with a time trial type start, runners will start on one minute intervals, run up the Frary Peak trail 2.9 miles and 1700', then come back down.  No prizes, awards, etc.  Just a little fun run to end the season.  Go to www.buffalorun.org for more details, or e-mail me.  I'll have a few cheap t-shirts for sale as well.  Just a low key good time.
