Scenery : A+ Red rocks, mountains, farmland.  Love it! Sand Hollow : A- Super clear, warm, calm.  It would be perfect if they didn't allow any stinky boats! Pre - race : A+ Fun, eventless drive with Karen.  A dip in the lake and a little ride.  Dinner at Cafe Rio.  Good times at the Rue Residence.  Marching to the Start Then a text from Coach M:  "I want you to have fun tomorrow!  I want to hear: I love racing !"  Really? Sweet!  During the last 2 years with HT Training,  Coach M would ask me for my goals before each race.  My answer for each and every race:  I just want to have fun !  And that's the truth!  M wasn't alway...

Guess who showed up at the track on Tuesday night?  Lots of famous super stars . As usual.  But do you recognize the guy on the right?  Yep. That is Ryan Hall !  He and his wife decided to make Flagstaff their new home!  Meaning, this is where he is going to get ready  for the Olympics this summer. Wow! They also invited us all to their Going for Gold Event  on Sunday night.  You bet we are going to be there.  Have I mentioned that I love this place?  Of course it's not perfect but I feel pretty darn lucky   to live here!  Being surrounded by so many incredible athletes is amazing! I have been struggling with my running lately,  to say the least.  But Tuesday night at the track is always a treat! And I haven't given hope that sooner or later I will feel like a decent runner again! In fact, it would be nice if my running legs showed up  this Saturday!...

I am busy reading this book:
