Big morning of pain. 21.8 mile bike ride in 1:55:08. So I'll count 5.4 miles of that for running. The bike ride was a muther so that is less than fair but I'm just going to stick to my formula and it should avg out in the long run. The bike ride was a big loop around the city. I stopped at the 10k race this morning and helped out for a while and then finished going back up over the T'bone trail and down off to my house. I saw TWO turtles today right by me on the trail. Pretty cool! And yes WildBull I have pictures to prove it this time.

1.25 miles of running down at the race with Dave, Dustin, Marci and a few others after working as a volunteer.

I spent most of the day after getting home on the couch. I think I logged around 4 hours of nap time- good because I didn't sleep very good last night.

14.8 mile run tonight in 1:50:16. Not bad considering the first 7 miles or so are in sandy, rocky, slow trail- with the majority being uphill. I did the overpass loop but started going up the trail and hitting the powerline down into GS first to extend it a little. When I left it was 93 degrees out but felt doable. Once I got to the golf course I hit one of the water stops and rehydrated the best I could. From there up around the overpass and around through DogTown I did pretty good. However once I got to the firehouse with around 3 miles to go I was dehydrated and needed hydro bad. But I just pressed through and was glad for something cold when I got home.

The run felt good. Other than my legs were hamburger before I even left the house from the bike stuff this morning.

I think its so sweet that you are trading your car in for a bike. I would do the same but I dont think my patients would appreciate being so close to me after a bike ride:) It was fun to be able to talk to you for a little bit today and thanks for helping with the race. Hope everything continues to get better for you! and biking can be hard, i got sore/tired from riding my beach cruiser a couple weekends ago, pathetic!

Clyde, I can sell health insurance but I don't like too and for the simple reason that it is so hard to keep your clients happy with continual rising premiums. I have an individual plan with Blue Cross Blue Shield of Utah and they seem to have the best coverage for the best price, so I would check with them out.

Just go to Regents Blue cross of Utah and you can do a bid right on line, if you have any questions then I can help answer them if you just let me know.

Good job today!

Thanks Marcie- Good job in your race today.

Clay- I'll look that up. We have United American Insurance Company now. I know what you mean about the keeping clients happy. We have only been with these guys for around a year and the premium has gone up twice...and my wife and I have really on gone to the doc for yearly check-ups...

From Adam RW- on Sun, Jun 08, 2008 at 16:02:52

In your picture you remind me of John Malkovich sp?

From Superfly on Sun, Jun 08, 2008 at 18:24:10

Adam- Come on man. I hate that guy. I was hoping you'd say Brad Pitt from Legends of the fall... without the long hair.

From Logan on Sun, Jun 08, 2008 at 21:26:32

What is the game plan for tomorrow or Wednesday? I couldn't remember what day we decided on.

From dave holt on Sun, Jun 08, 2008 at 22:43:35

People always say I remind them of Brad Pitt! (sorry inside joke!)

Plan?

From Superfly on Mon, Jun 09, 2008 at 09:06:30

Dave, and Logan- I didn't get on here yesterday afternoon or evening. So sorry for the delayed reply. Dave since you are racing this weekend I think it would be best to not do that one tempo that I was talking about. So lets do the 200's that you were going to do. Do you want to meet at DSC track? Time?

If that works let me know.

From Logan on Mon, Jun 09, 2008 at 10:00:44

Let me know what time you want to meet and I will be there. We have a ward BBQ at 6pm on Monday so it has to be before or after.
