| 5:00 a.m. Gym. Lt. upper body weight reps. 3 x 15 6 machines, then I got talking to Charlie and didn't have time for anything else before work. No running. Resting up for 4th of July 5K in Grantsville. I'm doing the controversial one. The 17th Annual Ray Barrus Memorial 5K. $5.00 entry fee, including a tech shirt! Can you believe that? Tooele City, on the other hand is charging $30 for theirs. I'm all for charitable connections or fund-raisers as part of a race, but at some point you need to be thinking a little bit about the runners. I know one guy that was going to register himself and his 3 adult kids until he found out it was going to set him back $120! Sheez! | | Add Comment |

| Ran the controversial 17th Annual Ray Barrus Memorial 5K in Grantsville. A town divided over running, of all things. Larry Lawrence did a great job with the event. One former BYU All-America runner honoring another former BYU All-America runner. Ray Barrus was the winner of the very first Deseret News Marathon. Felt pretty good throughout the race, trying to maintain 7:00 minute mile pace. Didn't quite do it, but finished in 21:57 for 7:04 AP. Left knee has been feeling at about 95% and improving, but my right hip joint is giving me some grief the past week and half. Tipping the ibuprofen bottle once again. |

| 6:45 a.m. 17 mile run. Tooele to Stockton around north end of Rush Lake through Hoganville over to Mormon Trail Road fronting the base of the Stansbury Range towards Grantsville and entrance to South Willow Canyon. A nice morning run with the a cooling south breeze which was a blessing since I took no water. Not so smart, but was only planning on 16 and stopping at a convenience store in Stockton at mile 6, which I didn't do. Next time I stash some H2O or G2 like I usually do. An encouraging run. Right hip not too much of a problem, although 3 or 4 reminders that my left knee is still not at 100% yet. |
