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

| Was originally going to run around 25, but had chores to do around the house so I cut it short at 9 miles. Took it easy. | | Comments(2) |

Ran into work this morning, will run home this afternoon. I was surprised at how warm it was. Very pleasant running. It was a normal run, I was somewhat tired for lifting weights yesterday but still managed to get to work a little faster than normal. We'll see how the afternoon run goes.
The afternoon run went very well. I ran about 10 intervals of 2 minutes each, generally on flat portions of the run. Ended up with close to a PR for the run home. Started to rain on me about 1.5 miles from home, but quit after about another mile of running. Got a little damp. | | Add Comment |

| Very slow day. Legs were very dead. Couldn't get any leg turnover at all. I figured this was a character building day. Getting used to running when the legs won't work well at the end of an ultra. | | Add Comment |

Did a tempo run on the treadmill tonight. Felt pretty good. Found out that I can actually run at a decent pace for a few miles. | | Add Comment |

| Ran to work this morning. Kind of cool, but it actually felt good. Usually my morning runs into work are kind of a chore, tired, slow, etc. This morning I felt very good, so I pushed it and definitely set a PR for a run into work, and just about an overall PR. We'll see how the afternoon run home goes. | | Add Comment |

Ran on Antelope Island. Took a group of about 9 on the first training run for the 2008 Buffalo Run. Perfect day for it. A little cool at the start, but wraming up nicely. Saw very little wildlife, all of the bison are rounded up for their annual vet check.
My run was a little slow. The uphills took some effort. | | Add Comment |
