Speed only kills if you don't have it!

Easy run with the kids after school.  We ran over to the water treatment pond and back.  Hip is better today.

We met at Dimple Dell.  It was a very nice day outside and great for

running on a nice trail.  i can tell that I haven't been on the trails

much because the legs were very unstable on the rough trail.  I ran

most of the run on my own and finished in about 48 minutes.  After the

run I ran with Alex back up the trail to make sure everyone made it

okay.  Christensen and some of the younger kids got lost but eventually

made it back.  Fun run, and good to be back on a trail again.

4 miles and some barefoot strides with Chris, Aubree, and Elyse.  It felt good to run barefooted again.  Hopefully I will mend a bit faster than what I have been so I can start some real training since I just signed up for St. George today.

We left the BYU invite today about 10:30am because it had rained like crazy all morning and we didn't want kids getting sick or hurt.  I did watch the boys 3200 where Hayden and Steve ran very well.

I went out on my own for five miles on a loop up by the Temple.  The wind was a pretty strong North wind but no rain at the time.  As I turned North by the Temple I turned in front a woman heading the same direction.  I didn't think anything about her keeping up and kept running at a decent pace into the wind.  When I turned around I realized that she had stuck right behind me for about a mile, I was surprised!  When I passed her she told me "Good Pace"!  Well that got my shorts in a bunch real quick.  It sucks bad enough to lose all of my fitness and not be able to get it back yet, and then have some lady tell me I was doing good eventhough she was keeping up with me.  She had no clue who she was talking to, and how dare she belittle my pace and treat me like I was some 3:20 guy and act like she was some Olympic champion.  The audacity!  Anyway it made me mad enough that I through down a couple 6 minute miles at the end of my run.  I have never been passed by a girl on a training run, and will never be, as long as the old sexies are still able to turn over.

I also went to the gym and lifted upper and lower body.  I am trashed today, but it feels good.
