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.

My right ankle was still hurting from snowboarding on Saturday, but it felt better after I did a few miles. I had to cut it short, thinking I would run in the evening in NJ once I got there. However, I always underestimate the time it takes me to get to the hotel from the airport. On top of that, I had a conference call with Japan at 8:15, which cut my evening short.

AM: Had to throw my normal running shoes out because they were nasty from my last trip out here. They got mold in them, and they weren't worth salvaging. Wore my performance trainers this morning and did 7 miles. It all felt good. I'll have to grab some new shoes at lunch.

Lunch: New shoes. The usual Missuno Wave Riders, with a good insert for my arches. I'll give them a test run tonight.

PM: Ran an extra 4 miles in the new shoes. Felt really good.

AM: Did 7 on the flat trail. It took a couple miles to get warm, then it felt good.

PM: Did 2 on the treadmill at the hotel. 1 with shoes and 1 barefoot. Everything is feeling ok.

AM: The usual 7 on the flat trail. I picked it up for a couple miles at the end (marathon pace), and everything seemed in order.

I found out yesterday that the Ogden 1/2 Marathon is full! 1700 people have filled it. I am on the waiting list now, so we'll see how that goes.
