Cold tough run on the canal road. I ran into an 85 year old man walking his three dogs on my way home. The dogs were nice dogs, unlike most around here. He showed and told me about a couple of places where I could find petroglyphs. I will have to check them out when there is a little less snow. Lots of snow so it was slow going, eventhough I ran in snowmobil tracks most of the run. 7:39 average for the run.
(Kahana- 15 miles)
In evaluating this year, I have to say it was a good year for me. I hit over 2,300 miles, had some good races, and some fun times with many of you. St. George was my greatest accomplishment, coming off of 4 weeks of pneumonia and still being able to run 2:33! It was a long time goal for me to break 2:35, and was a sweet accomplishment for me. Also winning the Ute Stampede 5k by over two minutes, in what is sometimes a hostile environment for me, was another sweet experience. It has been a crazy year for me with a lot going on in my life. I was blessed to have as much time as I did to train, and to stay as healthy as I did. Last year I didn't even run 1,000 miles. Consistency was the key to my success this year and I hope to keep it up in 2008. It should be a fun year with the racing team and the growing blog. Happy to New Year to everyone!
