HAd a nice LAbor day with the Family, we took the kayaks and paddled on Causey Res. up around to where the Kokonee Salmon are Spawning... good fun time and an ok workout on the paddling, good cross training. there were a bunch of fish this year we hit it right!

Got a good run in today, did a new variation of the EB, did the MO loop backward with some add ons... I liked it this way not as much steep hills, long gradual climbing, which is what I need right now felt great the entire time... pushed good on the way back... 10:14 1st mile, 10:33 2nd, 9:00 3rd, 10:45 4th, 8:45 5th, 8:16 6th, 7:27 7th(this one included a bit of barefoot running), .20 at 7:21.... overall 9:14/mile

2-part run today, got to get em when you can...2.2 with T my 4 yr old on his bike when we rode over to get the other boys from school... good little run very easy pace.

next part came on the bench while my oldest was at soccer practice.. it was a good one, did the short 29th loop, felt great, some good pep... had a steady rain throughout which I love...

Tomorrow I pace a good friend for 22 miles at the Wasatch 100, I start at LAmbs cyn and go to Brighton... should be fun!

Well it was a good one at the first and then ended not so good... PAced a good friend at Wasatch from LAmbs Cyn to Brighton... his goal was sub 24 and he got into LAmbs feeling Ok took a 10-12 minute break and then we were off didn't push real hard for the climbing part but as soon as we hit the saddle he turned it up and we ran 80% of the rest all the way to upper big water... he took a 10 min break and we were off... which I was stoked about, cause last time I did this section we did it all in the dark... we got to the first lake just as it was getting dark... dead dog lake?? not sure if that is correct, doesnt' sound right as I write it... pushed on and he was still doing great running all the flats and downhill and power hiking strong on the ups... got to deso Lake, he kept going as I filled H2O bottles and when I caught him a few minutes later something had changed he was barely moving and not feeling to hot, we plauded on at a very slow pace to Scotts Aid Station... and he was beat, he went in the warm tent(somewhat warm), it was freezing up there,they said in the upper 20's with a slight wind... he hung out for 30 minutes or so with a couple barf sessions(outside of the tent) I huddled around the small heater... and then I realized if we didn't keep going he was going to hunker down and stay too long, so I got him going and we headed out... it was freezing, i wanted to turn around and head back to the kinda warm tent... he wasn't movin to good... got down to the pavement where his wife met us and took him into the brighton lodge... my run was finished... good times and hard times, I felt great overall and the INTRIGUE of the 100 miler grew deeper... I am getting closer to actually signing up for one!!

Shane ended up resting 3 hrs, went back to the spot he got picked up and finished strong... 29 hrs and change with atleast 4.5 hrs of downtime... impressive!
