Short-Term Running Goals: 2011: Complete my first Olympic and Half Ironman triathlons 2012: Break 2:40 at St George 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.

I tried going out in the morning, but the roads were terribly slick. I got down to the bottom of the hill and there was this guy stalled on the side of the road. He hit the curb and got a flat, and the road was too slick for him to move. I offered to push, but we still couldn't make it move. I used that as an omen and went back home.
It snowed a couple inches sometime between noon and 3:00, so I decided that was also a good omen. Nothing really beats running on new snow. Quite a workout too. The temperature was right around freezing, so it was perfect.
I'm going snowboarding in the morning (Monday), so I won't get a morning run in. I'll have to meet a few people at 6:30 for a run around Murray Park. Not my favorite because of the busy roads, but it will work. | | Add Comment |

An evening run with a small group. I wore trail shoes to fend off the ice and snow.
The entertaining part of the evening was running into the missionaries as we stopped for water. I struck up a conversation with them. I tried keeping the conversation light so the girls I was running with would feel at ease and comfortable talking to them. However, the older missionary was pretty hardcore, almost as if the light conversation was a waste of his time. He tried commiting Andrea to take the discussions until she finally exclaimed "I WILL NEVER BECOME MORMON!". | | Add Comment |

Off day. Recovery.
I took a few miles on the treadmill, followed by some core excersices and swimming. | | Add Comment |

Played racquetball at lunch. I was fresh, 'cause I didn't do a morning run. I had incredible energy and it showed in the last game, when I skunked the competition 11-1. The other games were nice and close.
In the evening, I met up with some running friends for our Taylorsville hill kills. There were 5 of us there. We talked a bit about the missionaries that we saw on our run on Monday. Basically, I waived to the missionaries on Monday as we were getting water 1/2 way through the run. We talked about it more on Wed night and that conversation led into our religious affiliations. I talked a bit about serving 2 years in Denmark, and how the culture and language is similar to ours in more ways than many other countries would be. As typical in Salt Lake, the group I run with is about 1/2 lds (somewhat or fully practicing), and 1/2 not. It always provides interesting conversation. In California, people I worked with and ran with would not dare talk religion in public circles. Different culture. | | Add Comment |

I have to quit screwing around. I spent another morning snowboarding (that's twice this week). Great powder day. They opened the Millicent bowl in Brighton today after having it closed yesterday, so there was 2 feet of untouched powder over there. Incredible. After that was tracked out, we went over to Great Western and finished it up with some out-of-bounds riding. Very nice day. Warm too- about 20 degrees up there.
I will try to get my evening run in tonight after I get home. Unfortunately, snowboarding in the morning means working late.
PM: Ran 6.5 miles out on the paved trails in Draper at 9:00. It was a little icy 1/2 way through, so I had to watch it. My ankles were in pain off and on through the whole run due to the snowboarding earlier in the day. I'm glad I did it, though. I'm trying to get up to 50 miles/week and I'm having a hard time making it. I'm sure it will come soon, and then 60 miles/week will come once I increase the length of the Saturday runs in preparation for Boston. | | Add Comment |

I took a bath after the run last night and slept well. I woke up this morning at 5:00, and felt pretty good. I was glad, because I wanted to get the run in this morning rather than trying to squeeze it in on a treadmill at lunch. That's no fun.
The run felt good. No ankle pains. I was still fatigued from yesterday's activities and lack of fuel. I wish it were Saturday so I could take a nap. Maybe I'll sneak one in at lunch. | | Comments(2) |

I had to drive the vehicle around and provide hydration for the group today, but the course was laid out in a way that made it easy for me to run. We started out with a warmup, followed by 10x100 sprints. Then we went on to the core of the workout- 10 hard-effort hills on a 1/2 mile loop.We would hit each hill hard and then run together on the downhill. We followed this with a mile tempo run on the way back. Good workout.
I'm not quite at 50 miles/week yet, but I'm getting there. I'll make a goal of 50 miles for next week. | | Add Comment |
