I was way tired and could hardley pull myself out of bed to run at 6:00 am today.  It has bean a long and hard week with everything, especially school.  I really would have liked to run with Jon, Paul, and Cody this afternoon, but since I had Basketball game at 11:00 am and we are trying to leave town to go see my family for the weekend, so I figured I had better get up and get things done. 

My left leg was sore and aching this morning and made me alter my stride a bit.  I don't know what is going on with it, because it hurt last night when I was climbing the rock wall at the Celebration center, and after when I ran upto the Field house to play Basketball.  I think that I am just getting old have have arthritis in my ankle or something! 

The run wasn't too bad even with the added discomfort.  I went down Boulevard, past the old house on the Island, and upto the bench at the top of River Heights.  I came back along Canyon road and the dug-way, and finished with the 800 North hill.

Time: 37:14

I felt fatigued today after a good hard week of training.  I reached my goal for mileage again this week (35).  I am finally feeling like I am getting in better shape after a whole month of running now.  I think adding 5 miles a week is working good for me, so I will do it again next week.  About 36.5 for the week, 40 miles are scheduled for next week.

James,

You asked if I'm from Sanpete. I went to Manti High and to Snow College in the 80's.
