First, a couple weird dreams. Wednesday night, dreamed I was doing the SGM and my legs were completely leaden and I just couldn't do it. I was so frustrated as my training runs have been fine. Had to walk a bunch and finished in 5 hours. Woke up angry! Last night, dreamed I was in Farmington in my old 2 wheel drive Corolla and I started driving up a dirt road and ended up way in the mountains. Looked up and saw a string of headlamps going up a trail, and realized the Wasatch 100 starts today. I saw Davy's green headlamp in the distance and thought that was cool, then I realized I was in 6-12 inches of snow and I was stuck so had to walk back down and my car was stuck for the winter. Very odd. Wonder how those guys and gals are doing?

Now to reality. Ran up the same Veyo test hill as on Tuesday and did it much faster and felt much better. Ready for a campout tonight, football game tomorrow and somehow will fit in a 20 miler at night. AP: 8:26. Splits 9:17, 8:45, 8:38, 9:59, 7:48, 8:01, 7:41, 7:22.

nice run today, russ. it sounds like you have a busy but fun weekend ahead. enjoy!

i have been having some super crazy dreams lately as well -- all about top of utah. nightmares, really. the other night i was running slowly though the race trying to catch everyone when i realized i was the only one in the race signed up for the ultra distance. ugh. then last night was a pretty dramatic scene involving the bib number i had been assigned. race day just needs to get here! we're all a bunch of head cases, i think :)

Wow, Allie - great nightmares! Okay, not great, but very interesting. Before I go on my annual hunting trip I have Elk dreams where I see a nice 6 point bull across the canyon - nice to know I'm not the only head case.
