2:42:00 Ran with the St. George Running Center, Steve Hooper Abraham Lincoln Annual trail run. Overall a good run for a trail. A couple of big hills that I decided not to run but walk fast. So I walked about 3 1/2 miles worth of hills, and still ended up with 9:28 pace which included water break etc. I slightly rolled my ankle as I was looking ahead to see 4 guys about 2/3 mile ahead and was concentrating on them to see if I could somehow catch them. After the roll, I started cramping from the quick reaction. I could only run about 1/2 mile before I would start to cramp and had to stop and walk it out a bit then run again til another cramp. I was keeping around 7 minute miles when I was running which was too fast for cramping but I just wanted to get finished. Ended up as the 15th runner to finish the run out of approx. 50 runners.

Nice to see you again Scott. Tell the truth, we all know you where checking out some of the ladies when you rolled your ankle.

LOL James! If you remember right, only one of the ladies beat me to the finish and she passed me at mile 15. Good to see you out there running, well it was for a very brief time.

Good job Scott. Sorry about the ankle - get that feeling better.

Dave, The ankle feels great today. It just affected my run since I acted so quickly to the roll it freaked out my tired calves and they started cramping. I totally had the leg strength and desire to finish strong but those cramps wouldn't allow me to do it. Good to see you for a few minutes!
