I'm dreading it. My training has been pathetic. Thank goodness there's no uphill.

One of the reasons for the butterflies.

Good luck to you all. You are much tougher than I may ever be.

I am running the hardest 10k I know on saturday, which should be awesome. It is fun to see marines sucking wind as I pass them. http://y-events.com/mwtc/

That hill right before Pineview is no cake walk.

When I ran Ogden, it was the canyon that beat me up.

A word of advice: Don't taunt wind-sucking marines.

I procrastinated to long and didn't get in the half. But I get a call today from a girl in my ward and her sisters friend dislocated her knee and can't run it and they want to see if they can transfer me over for her, I still signed up for the 5K.

But I'm a little nervous, I really haven't been training for the half the past couple weeks and I have been just been thinking about the 5K. I guess I will find out tomorrow.

Good luck guys. May your legs be fast and your bowels be slow.

Well I didn't get in the half of course. I had a feeling they wouldn't transfer me. But I ran the 5K and I ran it at 25:27. I thought I was going a lot slower which I guess is good. But when I got close to the finish line and saw my time I was pretty happy. Not to bad after having to take 2 weeks off from my hamstring injury and then having no time to run during finals.

I'm for sure going to sign up for the half next year. No more procrastinating.
