Short-Term Running Goals: Have not seriously raced since 2005, but just run for fun while gettting over several injuries. Goal is to get back my fitness and not get re-injured. I am much older now and recovery takes a bit longer. Goals for 2011, besides staying healthy:
Wasatch Back Relay
Top of Utah Half Aug 1:32
Reach the Beach Relay (Sept)
The Other Half marathon Oct 1: 30
Long-Term Running Goals: I would love to do a 50 miler, plus get back to running a marathon in the 3 hr + range, but need to get running healthy again. Personal: Married with two grown boys. One has embraced running and the other is a snowboard fanatic. My profession, I am a computer analyst and geek. After hours, I am a fitness nut who also enjoys reading and hanging out with my family.

| 6 super easy miles in the morning followed by 4 miles on the treadmill at night. Did 2 miles of strides (16) where I jogged the curves on the "virtual track" on my treadmill and strided the straights. |

| Very hot run at lunch from work. Have not done this in awhile due to the heat and am still not ready. Left at 11:45 to get ready, so started at noon. Fine for the first couple of miles, then it started to build. With 2 miles left to go, I was dying. When I reached the office, I realized I had a meeting in 10 mins! Quick shower, no lunch, and continued to sweat during the meeting. Very gross! |

I signed up for this race to use as an easy long run. I did it in 2004 when I was in really good trail shape and loved the course. What I didnt realize was the course is now different and a much larger field of runners. After ankle surgery in Dec, I have only run on trails in a limited amount. The ankle stability is weak at best. My goal for the race was to enjoy and have fun. The drive from Farmington was about an hr and the packet pickup and potty lines took about a half hr, so no time to warm up. There was large field, maybe 400-500 at the start. I positioned myself in the middle knowing I wasnt in trail shape. Race starts and we went up towards the Legacy Lodge and under the Cresent lift. I was immediately breathless and tempted to DNF. I felt horrible till we got onto the single track trail, then I started to feel good and passed alot of people. Maybe too many people. After maybe 6 miles, I started having to walk sections. The section where we climbed up to the top of Jupiter Peak was brutal for me. I kept sliding back. When I got to the top, I paused took a GU and enjoyed the view. Course then had a rocky downhill and then another climb up to another peak, but not as brutal. Then the fun downhill started. I all of a sudden felt GREAT and tons of people. What started to happen tho was mtn bikers were riding UP while we were running DOWN. Not good. With about 2 miles left to go, I swerved to avoid a biker and rolled my ankle. I stopped for a bit and hobbled around. Tons of folks passed me by. I then tried to walk and found I could slowly run/walk. I made it in at 3:03 but am sure I lost at least 5-10 mins with the ankle issue. Frustrating. Overall, loved the course & organization. Aid stations were plentiful and awesome. Only thing I don't like which seems to be a trend (Buffalo Run this happened also) is the trail races are getting too full for single track trails. I think I prefer just running on the trails solo or with good friends. Any trail racers know how to quantify effort with road miles.

| Met my friend Cynthia for an early am run. She just had a baby and is getting back in the groove. I wanted a few more miles, but given the sprained ankle recovery etc I just went home and did some core work. Run was from Cynthia's house thru all the Lagoon trails up to the Pond, down main street and back. Very fun on the trails. Distance may have been a bit more as my Garmin 405 doesnt like trails. 51:52

| Slept a solid 8 hrs and could have slept a little longer, except the dog was demanding to be let out. Beautiful morning so I decided to sneak in an unplanned run. Temps were nice to start, but warmed up too fast for me. Ran from home thru the Lagoon bike trails (nice & shady) then out to Glovers Lane. The last part was completely unshaded and hot! 50:21. Did have some quicker sections, but the last part home uphill always is a challenge. |

| Met Michelle S at Liberty Park. She was running late, so I decided to run up the east side of the park then down the middle, guessing 1.1 miles. We then did 6 miles together. Fun! |

| Was supposed to run top of utah 1/2 today and had a room, but bailed because my ankle is still bugging from the sprain 3 weeks ago. Huz and I decided to go up and cheer on friends and just have a nice night out for dinner and relax. We ran from the hotel to the race finish and watched the winners and our friends come in. Nice job! We then drove by a cupcake bakery in Logan and had to try some (insert evil grin) and bought raspberries & blackberries on the way out of town.
