Short-Term Running Goals:

Get fit again! Casper Marathon on June 8th in Casper, Wyoming. I don't have a specific goal time for it, as I don't know the course real well, but I'd like to shoot for 6 minute pace.

Long-Term Running Goals:

Run for your life! Stay active enough to eat seconds and ice cream without guilt.

Personal:

Married to a beautiful wife AnnMarie, who is also a 3:15 marathoner and the mother of our handsome 2 year old, Myles and newbie Sullivan. Sullivant was born 2 years and one day after Myles was born. Myles knows only one speed--running all out. Kinda like Prefontaine.  Besides running, I enjoy reading, woodworking, fishing, and chasing Myles around our house.

Sore from water skiing, especially my traps and bi and triceps. Oh well. Decided to mow the lawn at 5:30 A.M. while AnnMarie went running, and I was surprised to see it so windy and warm--80 degrees nearly. Met up with Justin Nipko on the canal, then we turned around and headed east and worked our way over to the trail at the bottom of north ogden divide. I wanted to explore what I thought was a new trail just below the power lines at the base of Ben Lomond Peak, and was pleasantly surprised to find a new trail indeed. Very well shaded, flat and a nice overlook of North Ogden and Pleasant View. Kept the run at conversation pace until the last mile, on 3300 north going west until 450 east. Justin and I picked it up, probably because we were ready to be done with the run but also because we were hungry. Made it home and AnnMarie was making french toast--yummy! Justin stayed for breakfast, and found out his mission call is at the post office as of this morning. I think he's going to Provo South mission, or Boise, or Butte, Montana. Someplace exotic, that's for sure. Headed to Cokeville this afternoon for a few days, I'll get my long run in probably saturday. Tomorrow will probably be a recovery day.

Joe, just wanted to say that it was great running with you down at the Summer Games. Your encouragement really helped a lot and your positive demeanor was very cool for me. Anyway... Good luck on this summer's training. Wyoming? What's the point of that?

Thanks Dave, it was nice to run with someone, thanks for helping me out on the course. I wish you well for the rest of the summer and St. George. As for Wyoming, I got a teaching job at Cokeville High, they're on a four day week and it's a nice pay raise, plus a small town to raise Myles, so we figured "Why not?" We'll see how it goes, I hope training up there helps too. Keep running, maybe we'll see ya in Cedar next year or at this year's Oly Trials when we both qualify!
