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.

Took a plane out to Jersey during the night, and got a few hours of sleep. Not nearly enough. Daylight savings also messed things up to where it wasn't light until 7:00. I got my wash and lifted some weights (upper body) while it was getting done. I had enough time after to do a short run. I wanted to do more than 6.5, but there just wasn't time. I will try to hit the treadmill or elliptical in the evening to round things up.

PM: Got out of the office around 5:30, and noticed it was still light. So I decided to do another 5.

I am so happy to hear that the Gua sha helped I wish more people would take that advise. It is a great tool to use once a week just to clean out the legs:)

You smoked the race great job. I think Josh is planning on running in the Ogden half, so we'll have to meet. I've tun the 5 miler down there before, but this was the 1st half, so I was excited. What's your Ragnar team?

Awesome. I'm doing the Ogden half as well. My Wasatch Back Relay team is "RunAmoks", but it's not a competitive team. I am good friends with Dominique, the race director for WBR, so I get to ride with her as we take the Ragnar van to some of these races like Canyonlands. Good times.
