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.

Feeling good this morning after the barefoot workout last night. I decided to wear the Mizuno Waverunners without the high arch support. It felt pretty good. I went out on the paved trail and saw a couple guys in my neighborhood. Pascal is registered for St George. He was running with Steve B, who also runs the typical 1/2 marathons during the year (Moab, Salt Lake, etc). I'll have to ask if he is training for anything. I counted 8 guys and 1 girl in my immediate neighborhood (ward) doing the St George Marathon this year. That's a pretty good ratio.

I pulled a Sasha and made an errand out of the run, grabbing some milk at the store on the way home.

Running with a jug of milk? I bet that feels awkward....

Ya- I don't run with the milk. I go to the grocery store at the bottom of the hill below the house. I just carry the milk the last 1/4 mile straight up the hill. More of a hike, really.
