Run fast

0 miles running.  Instead I rode my bike up Emigration over to Mountain Dell and back.  About 40 miles.

In case anyone wants to know what Hobie Call is up to these days.

$20,000 if you can beat him and $100,000 for him if he wins 14 in a row.  I can see why nobody can beat him.  Interesting.

8 miles on the treadmill.

Ran up to the U Hospital and back.  My ankle seems ok.  I got a late start because I was trying to figure out why my power went out for the 2nd time in 3 days.

Ran around Holladay.  Got back to my house and my power was out again (3rd time in 6 days).  Problem with that is my car is the garage and the door to get into the garage is locked and I don't have a key.   Quite the predicament.  Fortunately I was able to borrow my sister's car so I wasn't late to work. 

Uh Oh.  GPS interference

This morning I ran the Sawtelle Stampede Trail Half Marathon in Island Park, ID. For such a low key race the organizers go all out. National Anthem, raffle, kids race, lots of aid stations, and they give out a big bag of $1 gold coins to the top three finishers. As for the race, it was somewhat uneventful after the first 1/4 mile but it was still challenging. Run up and down hilly terrain at 7,000 ft. wore me out.

Before the race I with my 3 year old nephew in his first 1k. He didn't stop the entire time even though several kids were tripping and having melt downs on the course. I think he has the focus.
