12:00 PM

Went over to the hospital to see dad.  He got the knee replacement on Friday, so they kept him until MOnday morning.  He looks great.  (Considering it all)  They took him into physical therapy, so I went in and started talking to the therapist about the wasatch back.  The conversation with me always ends up on the subject of track or the next race or training of some sort.  I think I am obsessed.  I guess there are worse things to be obsessed with.

I got to Logan last night @ about 9.  I stopped on the way up to see the golden spike natl historic site.  I got there too late, so I just looked behind the visitor center.  It was cold and rainy, so I didn't stay long. 

AM ran up the canyon on hwy 89, then down the canyon road, and then cut back to the north to check out the Utah State Univ. campus.  I ended up back at the dorm on campus where we are staying.  It was still cold and wet.

AM went out on the USU track to get in a little speed work.  the track was nice and the weather was a little drier.  I still think it is too cold to live in Logan.

AM Drove back from Logan, then over the rec center.  I am just chillin' today trying to rest for the 10K tomorrow morning in Cedar City. 

I ate way too much during the football camp and I didn't get to sleep last night until midnight, because I stayed up and watched Valkyrie with Ward.  Great movie but a realist movie ending is never my thing. 

Ironically, some racist jackass shot up the Holocaust Memorial in D.C. today.

What a beautiful race day.  I got up at 4:45 AM and took off for Cedar City.  I got there early enough to do a few 200s at race pace, and then we boarded the bus for the canyon.  It was really cool and we had a little tail wind at the beginning of the race.  There was not a clud in the sky and the moon was still out.  I went out with the first group, but there were 3 that pulled away at the first mile.  The rest of us just strung out over 200 yards down through the canyon.  I backed off @ mile 3 because I wasn't sure I could hold +/-6:00 a mile through the race.  Mile three was the slowest of the race at 6:38.  I started to feel it around mile 4 1/2.  The guy from cedar that pased me at mile 4.5 during the "run 4 kids" passed me at the same place, but I didn't think I could hang with him this time, so I let him go.  Interestingly, he didn't pull away and he actually brought me within striking distance of two other runners by the end of the race.  I got both of them by the end, but the younger one passed me again at the 6 mile mark.  I had a good race, and it was a fast course.  I will want to do that one again next year.

PM went over to rec. center and hit the treadmill for 35 minutes.  It was slow and easy after the race.  Just trying to work a little soreness out of the quads after the downhills.  I just plugged along and watched Jerry struggle to kiss Neumann's old girlfriend on "Seinfield."  Laurie just walked on the treadmill next to me and that was nice.  Jennifer and Todd showed up about 25 minutes into my run , so we chatted a bit.  I sure like those two.  Anyway, that is the end of the week for me.
