BACK TO WORK

AM  Chad and I decided to get in 10 before work.  We ran the tonaquint/virgin south loop.  I hated it.  I felt like I was being drug by a bus.  The last 4 I just hung on to the chad's pacing and mentally zoned out. 

I think the fast 5K kicked my butt and I am not used to the early moring run. 

PM the team did a ladder of 2,2,4,8,4,2,2.  They worked hard and look great.  I am getting more and more proud of the work they have done this year. 

PM snow canyon meet for JV.  I timed with the eagle eye and it worked out fine.  I left a bit early so I could make it to the Ironman volunteer meeting.  Laur, Kire and I went directly from there to his last soccer game.  They wnet undefeated again this year.  I think I can count on one hand the times he has lost since he started playing four years ago.  The little team they had in GA was good as well.  He is really not going to know how to deal with it if he starts losing a few games.

I talked with Clymore about his upcoming Ironman.  I am seriously considering entering this upcoming year or next.  I dont think I can coach football and track and train for it though, so we will have to see how it goes.  Let me get the BQ out of the way first.

Chad and I did the tonaq/virgin south loop again today.  It was a night and day difference in the way I felt.  We pushed the pace down to 7:05-7:10 the last 3.5 miles and I felt really good.  I think I could have gotten in a really long one today but had to go to work. 

It is a full moon, so I slept like crap last night.  I will sleep good today though. 

PM went over to see dusk and fam.  They are in town from atl.  All the siblings were there tonight except ren.  It stinks she and Luke live so far away.   

PM we stayed in Nephi tonigh, so I had the kids work out the travel legs with an easy 800 then the warm-up drills.  I decided to run back to the hotel from the track.  It was pretty fast for the first 3, then I just backed of for the last mile and enjoyed the run.

AM headed out for the hotel downtown.  The weather was cold and the clouds were sticking to the hillside.  I ran up the canyon and turned around at an hour.  By the time I got out of the canyon the hail ws coming down hard.  My hands were freezing and my face felt like it was on fire from the hail.  I finished fast, so I could see Alexis and Mark in the mile at the Y.  The kids all did okay.  I am still a little bugged at the lack of heart some of the team members have. 

Laurie, Lex, and I volunteered at the 10/23 mile mark of the run leg in the Triathlon.  It was inspirational.  The athletes are amazing.  Bruin, Shaum, and Clymore all finished, so that was great to see.  I think I want to do it next year.  I just hate to give up track to try it.  We will see.
