Great run with the club tonight. Did the Snow Canyon High loop with the sunbrook extension.  Nice in easy - picket it up a little towards the Golf couse then going up Dixie Dr. I took a gu and started having serious stomach problems. Ended up taking a pit stop off the edge of the trail and eaving behind my Hobble Creek Half Marathon Shirt.  It was the better choice of the two options.

What an Awesome Weekend! I had a great time with all the Bloggers over at our place Friday night - once again thanks to everyone that participated and help out Kendra.  I think we ended up with about 50 people.

Anyways on to the race - I decided, since I'm not in race shape right now I would find more enjoyment pacing Mike Warren.  He's improved so much I was excited to see him get a PR - and PR he did! Mike, I hope a wasn't too obnoxious there at the end.  Here's a link to Mikes Blog for the Painter Half.

We ended up running a 1:29 and with about 100 M to go Mike takes off and shifts gears like an Indy Car and drops me bad.  Fun times! Great Day!

Easy Quick Run on the Treadmill 4.75

Club run - Did the Thurs club loop extended to 10 miles. Fleet pretty good and tried pushing the pace at the end - however I'm paying for it today - my hips are majorly tight.
