Almost stepped on a Rattlesnake
Over 50 miles for the week
Sunday, June 24th, 2012
Mike and I ran 11 miles this morning. At about the six mile point Mike yells out "Rattlesnake." We were running about 7:30/mile pace at the time and I could not stop. I hurdled over the top and Mike came to a dead stop. The Rattlesnake was between us. Mike decided to go out to the road and meet me on the other side. This Rattlesnake was about six foot long. But we got it together and ran the last five miles. (We staged this shot after we got back.) I got in 55 miles for the week. Most miles in a week all year. It has been hard to train with all my races. Comments and Feedback

Race 27 this morning
I really needed this
Saturday, June 23rd, 2012
After not running well in Puerto Vallarta last Saturday I was being to wonder about my half marathon in Fontana. Was it just one of those days that everything works? I had gotten in some extra miles this week (like 38 before the start of the 10k this morning) and I ate later than normal last night. But this morning I ran my best 10k race since Nov 2009. I placed 50th overall, first 50 plus and finished in 41:22. I really needed this. I battled with the third place female over the last two miles. I had a chance to met and speak with the overall winner after the race. Met Ujena Fit Club member Gary Funck after the race. He ran the 5k. Another good day of filming. Waitman, me and Michael.
