Finally got home after being gone all week up at the state wrestling tournament. This has been a long week. Some good, some bad, all very stressful and memorable. Now I'm just trashed. 

The run was down past the fire station, up the Millcreek trail, over the powerline trail to the water tank. Then down into the industrial park and back home. The weather was nice but I felt terrible. I think with everything all week I've just over did it a little and this run was almost too much. I had planned on going 16-18 but came home with a stomach ache and called it good.

The wrestling year has came and went. My 6th and final season as a coach at Dixie High. We ended up finishing in 4th place overall as a team and having two 1st place champions. It was good and bad. Good that some of the guys reached some big goals and bad that some of them didn't even do half of what they did the year before.  All and all I've loved it and loved the kids. I'll miss it next year but it's just time to be done... for now.

Clyde, great job getting out when feeling tired and crappy! We missed you on the run today, it will be nice to have you running with the club again. My wife wants to know how Uintah did? Actually are they still in the same division as Dixie? She said they always dominated wrestling in the day!

Mike they are not in our classification any more. That tournament will finish up tonight (Saturday). However when we left they were in 3rd place. For the last 10 years they have been getting pounded by Wasatch.

Clyde,

How come you are not coaching wrestling anymore?

Are you guys running on Monday? I am in town because I have my interview for the job Tuesday morning. Let me know.

Clay-

I decided this would be my last year a couple years ago. I told myself as soon as this class was senior's I'd be done. I love it but it takes a lot of time. I'd like to take my winter training more intense next year and also spend a little more time with our business. All-in-all it's just time.
