    we've got some quick runners :)

    got my entry into the Bridger Ridge Run, now I have to kick back and wait a week and a half to see if I got drawn (fingers crossed)

    found this video (from 03) gives you a pretty decent idea of the run

    had a glorious run this morning :) it was absolutely perfect weather, high 50's, partly cloudy, slight breeze- we got some rain the day before so the dust was settled as well

    13 miles (~2000') and still felt very strong at the end, 2:19 which is actually a pretty decent clip for me :) I attacked the uphills pretty hard, which I'm sure helped shave a little time

    good (early 5:00 AM) run in this morning, early enough I forgot my watch :) liberating in some respects, but I do like to see where I'm at- 5.1 miles- guessing in the 11-12 minute range

    wildlife was especially abundant today, jumped three mule deer, small bunch of sharptail grouse, a nesting pair of mallards and a Easter Racer I had to hurdle over (saw him at the last minute and my brain screamed snake!! :D)- pretty decent population of Prairie Rattlers in this area so snakes get my attention

    Ran a 1 mile "Undie" race on Friday. Had two beers before the race, and three jello shots during. The first jello shot about killed me! I made it fifth overall on 7:20. Not bad for a hot, humid day but I was hoping to break 7's...

    Attempted to run on Sat evening, but my legs were shot, so I walked back home with the tail between my legs. On Sunday morning I remember to use my compression socks, and got my legs back.


    Went for a 2 mile Fartlek on Sunday. Yesterday I went for a 6 miler, but I felt weird, so I quit @ 4.7 miles in 46 mins.

    Doing trail work today and hill repeats tomorrow... It's getting HOT in OK...

    Did my first race this last Saturday - Mud Sweat & Beers 7k Trail Run. Had 3 muddy water crossings, one of which you needed to rope yourself up the hill on the other side. It was a blasty blast!

    Finished 760/1677 in 50:35 with a beer pitstop at the 2mi mark. Would've been a few minutes faster had I not stopped and started in somewhere in the first 2 faster paced waves.

    Very nice! Beer in between miles does not affect me at all, but 7 trail miles in 50 is SWEET!

    5 trail miles, 55 Mins.


    One thing though, we ran on the "easy trail" so not a lot of altitude changes, and the weather was BEYOND perfect. Temps were in the mid 70's, light breeze and humidity was in the 40% range. Like I said, PERFECT!

    the running God's must be smiling on us :D nice afternoon for me ~ 70 degrees and partly cloudy- perfect

    got 6.5 miles in (1:17 remembered my watch!), did have a small mishap- misjudged the distanced crossing a creek and soaked one foot- no biggie only had about a mile to go

    did try a new pack out today, a Nathan Trek- smaller pack- holds one 22 oz bottle, just about the right size for an hour run- any longer and I use a two bottle Osprey Talon 4

    the little pocket holds more than I first thought, even holds my windshirt :)

    4.2 miles of hill repeats @ Turkey Mountain. It took an hour, but it was MUCH better than the previous week. Hardly walked at all! Of course I've been drinking PLENTY of electrolytes, so that helped, along with wearing my compression socks whenever I'm @ my apartment.

    I have to admit that I'm enjoying my respite from 5 days a week pre-Grand Canyon :) running twice in the middle of the week (~6 miles/run) and once on the weekend (~ 12 miles), that'll change sometime relatively soon when I get something else in my sites :D
