| | I sent a text out yesterday to see who was running today. Everyone was coming. But I woke up at 3:45am to a text from Maggie saying she wouldn't be able to make it. I went to the bathroom, then went and laid back down. Then I went to the bathroom again. Mike was supposed to pick us up at 5:00am, and I got a text at 4:53am saying he was here. I texted him back and said I had just gotten off the toilet. I threw my running clothes on and urged my wife to hurry up since she was lagging behind, too. Then Mike texted again saying he needed to use our bathroom. So I put Herbie outside and told him to come in. This gave Vickie time to get ready. But she also let Herbie back in before Mike went outside. So Herbie started barking at Mike. Then he stopped and went and sniffed his leg. Then he started barking again. Stupid dog.
By this time it was 5:04am and we went to pick up Glen. We drove out to Usery, stretched out, and were on our way. I left before everyone else, but Glen and Mike were right behind me. Mike's tummy was giving him issues and he was worried that he'd have to turn around before getting to the top, but he made it fine. Vickie also was having issues, but she held it in. Mike and Glen both caught me at the stop sign as there were a few cars that I waited for because I don't trust anyone. It was dark out so I was wearing my reflective vest, LED, and headlamp. There were a lot of cyclists coming down, which was a bit annoying because I always step over into the dirt/gravel, and that's hard to do in the dark. It wasn't until Bulldog that it was light enough for me to take my headlamp off, but I was only 0.8 miles to the top, so I left in on 'til then. I saw Mike coming down first. Glen is the fastest, but he always runs further. Right as I got to the top I saw a bike slowing cresting over the hill. It was a former Ragnar teammate of mine from 2008, Jay MacKinlay. We stopped and talked briefly and I headed back down. It's always fun to see people you know. I saw Vickie near Bulldog again. I think she was going slower than last week, but she's still putting in the work. Now it's time for General Conference. Good luck St. George marathoners.
