After my message - you gotta see this story/pic below...
-I have a headlamp if anyone needs a light for the Wednesday dusk run.
The weather forecast calls for some pretty chilly temps...not to late to
change your minds (snicker).
-In the event that they don't let me back in the country Saturday night (I
guess for several potential reasons...) I hope someone will maintain the
website so I can see what you guys are doing. I will quit running and be a
beach bum and laugh at all the hard work you guys are putting in.
-The Tucson marathon has officially returned to the course from 2007 and
2008. The course is on their website now. That is really good news! There
was an outpouring of input from the runners that they did not like last
years course. Looks like we have a big group going to Tucson.
-I talked to Steve Orth today and although he finished the Grand Canyon
marathon - he had some medical attention between 22-23 miles. He is fine now
- maybe too many long hard races too close. Mr. Man vs. Horse Belt Buckle
winner can relax on the super long runs for awhile... Christina Robertson
retired before the finish with a bad cold - get better Christina!
-We had about 12-14? at the Skull Valley run on Saturday. I was an aid
station. Truthfully it is easier to run the crazy thing than be an aid
station. Julie who covers for us every time, did an aid station at about 8
miles out - she is my new hero and will remain my hero!! Everyone did really
well and most were prepping for Tucson. Rob ran back to back 14+ runs Friday
and Saturday and Paul ran all the way back to Heidi's so he did a 29 mile
run and that run back up the mountain is a B word!
See ya next week...Ken

Subj: Killer Mule
A couple from Montana were out riding on the range, he with his rifle and
she (fortunately) with her camera. Their dogs always followed them, but
on this occasion a Mountain Lion decided that he wanted to stalk the dogs
(you'll see the dogs in the background watching). Very, very bad
decision.
The hunter got off the mule with his rifle and decided to shoot in the
air to scare away the lion, but before he could get off a shot the lion
charged in and decided he wanted a piece of those dogs. With that, the mule
took off and decided he wanted a piece of that lion. That's when all hell
broke loose for the lion.
As the lion approached the dogs, the mule snatched him up by the tail and
started whirling him around, banging its head on the ground on every pass.
Then he dropped it, stomped on it and held it to the ground by the
throat. The mule then got down on his knees and bit the thing all over a
couple
of dozen tim es to make sure it was dead, then whipped it into the air
again, walked back over to the couple (who were stunned in silence) and stood
there ready to continue his ride as if nothing had just happened.
Fortunately, even though the hunter didn't get off a shot, his wife got
the pictures.
