I woke up at 4:00am to go help out with the Provo half marathon.  Because I wasn't going to race today I saved my comp for another race and ran it as a training run.  The bus duty went a lot better today than in recent years.  I talked Aubree into running her first half and ran most of it with her.  I wanted to get her between 1:26:00 and 1:30:00.  I know she could have run way faster but I was trying for more of a workout than a race that could cripple my little college freshman to be.   Aubree did awesome!  I know she was way beat up from camp like me, but still toughed out a great first half marathon.  I was way proud of her.  Her time was 1:28:57.

Derrek also ran very well we got him down to a 1:22:20ish.  And I did get a chance to run into several buddies, and teammates like Dustin, Sasha, and Jeff Mc. Sasha clip those toenails!

When I got home Allison had been to the Herriman farmers market and found a little German Shepherd puppy that she talked me into.  We named her Jetta.  Don't worry she'll be a running buddy and a Rottweiler destroyer.  Maybe I'll let Jon borrow her someday!:)

Nice seeing you today. Hope your hip gets to feeling better. Good luck with the start of the school year and cross country.

Thanks! The hip is slowly getting better, at least I can put some mid mileage weeks together again. Good luck to you with school as well.

Yes, train her to attack Rottweilers!
