No running today because my next race is Saturday. I had a great day at church and with my mom, my wife was working. My mom, brother and i went to lunch at Sizzler. Then i took up the mother day gifts to my wife at her work. Right after work she left for her mother house in Rupert. Then around 4:10 my mom and i went to the movie Star Trek, i do have to say that is an awesome movie. If you like seeing the Star Trek series this is an awesome one to see. Then some R&R at home! Have a great week!
Nice easy run this morning. Ran four miles at a 7:04 pace. I am getting a little nervous for my race coming up, but i know that is to be expected. Anyway, have a great Monday!
Ran my usual four miles at a 7:03 pace. Some stuff i have been thinking about lately is i would like to race more than four times a year. I have worked so hard getting to this point in my life i would like to enjoy the fruit of my work. I understand that more training is needed to get better, but i would like to run more than four races a year. The one thing stopping me is my wife, but she has a good point that is just too expensive to run races out of town. I don't know, do any of you have any advice for me or am i just a lost cause? Not much planned for today except my usual, work and rest. Thanks for reading and have a great day!
P.S. Is there anyone out there running the Ogden 1/2 marathon wanting to run it between 1:20 and 1:22? Please let me know, maybe we can run together and help each other out.
Nice easy run of four miles this morning in an 18 to 20 MPH
wind :(. I sure hate running in wind. Anyway, thanks for all the advice I received
yesterday, you all gave me a lot to think about. Not much planned for today, work
and rest and watching television. Thanks for reading and have a great day!
Nice easy run this morning. I ran three miles at a 7:10 pace. I am still getting a little nervous
about my race Saturday, but I know that if God is for me who can be against me!
Now today I have a lot planned, work and then I have a wedding rehearsal that i am in charge of and then Bill Mandler and I are getting Vitamin IV done :).
I usually hate needles, but the IV helps out so much that I over look my needle
problem. Then to bed early tonight for some good rest.. Thanks for reading and have a
great day!
Today's run was to help keep my legs fresh for tomorrow. I
also took an ice bath and now I will go and take a nap. I know that races are
stressful, but the days before are nice. The weather for tomorrow looks good;
the temperature is going to be around 47 degrees with a wind at 5-7 MPH from
the ESE. So if I am right the wind will be helping us a little in the beginning. So
for all of you running the Ogden
marathon and 1/2 good luck and God bless!

This was a very frustrating race for me! I almost gave
up around mile 8 I think. But even though I am frustrated I do give God the
glory for all the help He gave me. I will write more later.
Later: I sure had a very busy day! I started my day at 3:45, and then my
race started at 7:00. Then I had to come home early to perform a wedding at
5:00, now I will be going to a movie at 7:30. What a day! Well here are my times, but I have
to write them out because my other computer is broke. Also, my time is off from
the official time because around mile four my shoe lace needed to retie and for some reason i stopped my watch.

I think a lot of my problem is I forgot to take my
inhaler at mile five and that really affected me. Then both my legs IT muscle
was hurting me. Which is due to lack of oxygen, I think. Like I said before I wanted
to quit and I am glad I did not.I am
not sure what God is trying to teach me something through this, but in His time
He will reveal it to me. Now on to the good news I was 20 out of 3000 I think, I
still need to find this out. Then third
for my age and I will be getting an award, I think. So thank you all for the
support, it really means a lot to me! Also, I had the honor of meeting the
famous Marion, what an awesome lady. For those of you who do not read her blog
you are really missing out. Thanks for reading and have a great day!
