10 miles in the am with Sasha on Provo River Trail. Luckily the trail only had 3-4 inches of snow and was actually clear in spots where the trees covered the trail. Even with snow and ice we still ran 72 minutes for the 10 mile out and back.

The hard part was shoveling my driveway when I woke up as there was about 11 inches of snow overnight. We are supposed to get another big storm tonight so I may be shoveling the driveway tomorrow as well.

Hey Sir,

I was reading up on your blog. It's good to see that you're getting back into it after a long layoff. It's pretty impressive that you've ran sub-2:30 for the marathon. That is what I'm hoping to acheive over the next five years.

I peeked at your blog. It looks like you have been pretty consistent under 2:40. It would be interesting to see what kind of mileage and training you have been doing. For me what worked was conistent high mileage and I finally popped a good one. I was able to bump miles up to 100-120 a week for over six months straight while maintaining the quality and it finally all came together. Unfortunatley when I deployed I was in the best shape of my life and ended up not running for over a year so it has been a struggle to get back into it. I want to get back up to 100 mile weeks in 2007 and try and run St. George next OCT. Hopefully I can run at least 2:35 by then, we will see how things progress. Having a training partner (Sasha) that is a 2:24 marathoner is a big help getting back in shape as well.
