Funny that my 50 mile time is faster than my 50K.  Guess that's what happens when your only 50K has over 11,000' of vertical ascent =)

Personal:

I started running in April '09 and run to maintain some balance in my life.  Apparently I have an addictive personality so I figure I should do something positive with it.

Not much time today so I went to the JRP for my usual 6 mile route there.  Felt hot today but my body dealt with it pretty well.

Found out last night that I'm pacing my friend Darrell from Brighton to the finish at Wasatch this year.  I'm excited to do this section when I'm at least semi-coherent and feeling ok.  I remember last year I was dealing with a hurt knee and that, along with the cold, were the only things occupying my mind.  Looking forward to a totally different experience this time around.

Lake Blanche trail.  Ran 100% of the trail today.  The only place I stopped was on top to take in the view for about 10 minutes.  Energy was good but it was a total sweat-fest out there.  I couldn't keep the salt out of my eyes.  Lots of fun.

I hate days like this.  I had plans to get out and run the JRP right after work, but the freak lightning show that rolled through at 3:00pm changed my mind.  From my office I could see lightning striking near the area I run.  It was enough to scare me from going out.  The last thing I wanted was to be the lightning rod hopping around on that trail.  It didn't last too long, but by the time it ended my window had closed since I had somewhere to be at 5:00.

This is the one major problem with running in the afternoon/evening.  If I don't get my run in, my day is done; whereas if I were to miss a morning run I'd still have the afternoon to make it up.  Maybe I should start trying to run in the morning more often?  I realize it's not that big of a deal to miss a day, but it stinks when I had every intention of getting out there.
