Move into endurance mountain biking and trail triathlons (xterra, etc)

Long-Term Running Goals:

Keep running. Move into triathlons and get stronger. Keep succeeding at half marathons and the occasional marathon.

Personal:

I know Sasha from the CS program at BYU. We both graduated in 1997. He probably doesn't remember me, because he was definitely more vocal in class and among the students than I was.

Married to Teresa with 3 kids: Anders (4), Kristian (9), and Zoe (12).

Fluent in Danish, but there is obviously very little need for that.

I'm going to get my mileage up to 50 this week. It should be attainable because I'm not planning on boarding any more than once this week (if that).

AM: 4 miles out on the paved trail. It was about 24 degrees- nothing too terrible. I'll finish up this evening with another 6 miles.

I sent out an email to my running friends about putting a team together for the Wasatch Back Relay. We'll see what kind of response that gets.

PM: Met up at Murray Park with Andrea, Natalie, Johnny, Tracy C, and the dog. We did a mile warmup, followed by some sprints. Then we did another 4 miles to finish up at 6 miles. We talked about the Wasatch Back Relay. I think we'll have a pretty fun team.

Thanks for washing my gloves. I won't be at the run on Saturday since I'm planning on going skiing at the Canyons. If you are going to Hill Kills this week, maybe you can give them to Tracy C. and I could get them from her.

I just read your comments about running into the missionaries. I see them when I'm out running sometimes, and yeah, it can be difficult to keep it light-hearted. Religion is a topic that's personal and I've had a few uncomfortable discussions about it before with non-mormon friends. Andrea's response cracks me up!
