From home up Dry Canyon followed Timp trail marathon course up and over to meadow (alter) down to fire road and home. A couple close calls with lightning bolts (seemed close anyway) heading up and over point. Was glad to get off that mountain and down on the flat.

Last long(ish) run (1 hour, 40 min) before next weeks race. Time to shut it down.

Vert 2,100 ft.

5.5 in the hills this morning. Felt really good (at first) ended up a bit weak. Last "long" run for the week. Will do 4 on Tuesday, 3 on Wednesday and take a Thurday off.

Good to be running again. 1st mile was a bit achy and slow. Gradually loosened up and ran pretty well. Body and breathing suffering even more than legs. Anxious to monitor how quickly recovery will come back.

8 miles up Provo River Trail. Slow but nice..."nice" sums it up. Cool breeze, fall colors, sound of the river just off the trail. Ran a bit with a guy out on his long run for St. George. He's shooting for 4:30...slow but steady. Just my speed today.

10 miles on the nearly completed (CLOSED TO TRESPASSERS--VIOLATORS WILL BE PROSECUTED) Murdock trail. Can't wait for the finished product.

Have come down with a cold I believe as a direct result of Wasatch. Occasionally these longer, more difficult races destroy my immune system. I need to research better post race nutrition and immune saving tactics--probably dangerous to be so weak if I really get sick. Hopefully, I can shake this thing and get back to normal levels.

Daughters B-day party up at Big Springs. Dropped off at Vivian Park, ran from Vivian Park to Canyon Glenn up GWT to fire road and home. Canyon is beautiful! Ran hard down Provo River trail section but on the hike reduced to a walk/run. Legs feel fine, body is wrecked.

Had been considering Bear 100 but it's not going to happen. Need to heal up, let body catch up and recover and set sights on PET 100 in October. Bummer...quite a field this year at the Bear.

Hike up at Aspen Grove with family. Incredible colors this year. If you haven't been up the canyons yet...get up there! Slept for 12 hours.

To run or not to run (...when you're sick)?

"David Nieman, Ph.D., who heads the Human Performance Laboratory at Appalachian State University, and has run 58 marathons and ultras, uses the "neck rule." Symptoms below the neck (chest cold, bronchial infection, body ache) require time off, while symptoms above the neck (runny nose, stuffiness, sneezing) don't pose a risk to runners continuing workouts."  http://www.runnersworld.com/article/0,7120,s6-241-286--9082-0,00.html.

Looking for some validation to run and I'm not finding it. I like the "neck rule," makes sense...but no running for me.

6 miles from Crystal Lake trail head to long lake and up to Wall Lake. Run with Sandy, felt pretty good on the run. Got back to camp (Washington Lake) and started feeling really lousy. Altitude? Wasatch issues? Got sick in the evening and really out of sorts and out of breath over the weekend. Agh.

PS Fishing was as bad as I've seen it at Trial. Always catch a ton of fish up there. Only a few fish at Trial and Washington. Full moon? Low water levels, lack of bugs? A couple of the Tiger Trout really put up a fight.
