Ok so I'm done with snow and this winter, ready to move south and become a bum. At least I will be a warm bum. So today I ran out to harrys hill and back, the roads were snowy again which made it hard to gain very good traction. My legs where done when I reached harry's. I am not ready for next weeks half marathon I will just go and do the best I can.

The first 7 miles  of this course is a gradual uphill climb, I feel good about my effort in this half. My training was not as well as I would like do to the very cold temps and air quality here at home. I have spent a lot of time on the treadmill and ran outside when things are decent. I ran this race with my son Bryan and my Brother Clay. They made a very fun a memorable experience.

I ran up over harrys hill then up to the round about on woodland hills drive. Then cut over to mt. loafer canyon rd, came out by the canal then headed for home. My legs did feel a bit tuckered at the end. Nice run though.

 I had a blast very nice weekend, it was nice to run this race with my Son Bryan and my Brother Clay. Next weekend I have my first Ultra a 50k on Antelope Island, should be a great time. I thought that perhaps this was one of my better times, my mistake I have had faster 10ks. I'm getting old I quess.

I wanted to work some of the kincks out of the old mans legs from sat race. So I did a real easy out and back to gu corner. They did ok, but their still barking a bit. hope they will be ready for sat 50k. What did I get myself into?

One of the craziest things I have done in my life. This was every bit as hard physically and mentally.This consisted of two 16 mile loops that went around the south part of the island. Lots of very steep uphill dirt road and single track trail. I did this with my son Bryan which made this one of the special high lights of my life. I will give a more detailed update later, this was a blast and may put this on my schedule for next year as well.

Today the old legs did feel better than they have for a few days, I decided that they needed to be tested out to see if any damage from sat 32 miler. I took things easy and surprisingly they did well. Tired still but I do think they weathered things well.

I have been excited the past few for this mornings long run, I knew the weather was going ton be one of the nicer Saturdays that we have had foe a while.It was perfect running conditions, I headed out the the door just past 6 am and the temps were in the middle forties, perfect as it just warmed up from there. I wanted to see how well my legs would respond from last sat ultra 32 miler. They did well as this was a real surprise to me. I thought for sure they would act as rebellious teenagers, they did well going up over harry's and up woodland hills road. Coming back to gu corner I was at my 13 mile mark and decided to throw in a golf course loop. All in all  it was a wonderful long run and I am excited for this year, we will see if the running Gods will be in my favor. Happy Easter.

Headed out to gu corner today and then up power house road to the river trail head. Made my way back down the trail along the river which made for a very peacful run, I was able to contemplate about things going on in my life and get some perspective. I know that at times the Lord allows us to have adversity in our lifes to humble us and to bring more in line with Him. As I watch my youngest daughter McKenzie struggle with some health issues at this time and watch her courageous battle with Chiari. What an ugly disease this intruder is, we hope to get into a Nuro-Surgeon soon and hope they can do somthing to relieve her pain and discomfort. Hang tuff McKenzie you are stronger than you think, Daddy loves you little sweetness.

My sleep last night was less than perfect almost none. I just could not fall asleep and I was so stinkin tired to. I hate nights like that, I think tonight will be better.

I did the extended golf course loop today and added the side trail that goes along the river above the golf course. Warmest run of the year so far, 90 degrees when I headed out the door. The last couple of miles my legs felt dead, don't know if it was from the heat or lack of sleep, maybe a combo of both. Still a great run, I love this sport.

Oh and I made it into the St. George Marathon again, this will be my 7th St. George only three more and I'm in the 10 year club.

Then headed over to loafer canyon rd and came out on canal road where I met up with my Brother Clay and ran with him for a couple miles. Back to gu corner where I ran into Tom Lee, have not seen him all winter looks like he is doing well. He is still faster than a Jack Rabbit.

It's been a good week of training and now I will taper for Utah Valley Marathon in three weeks. I seem to feeling good at the moment.

The legs finally did,feel like going for a little run today. My quads are still on the tender side, been rolling them which seems to help doesn't seem to be any damage after Saturdays marathon. I will go easy tomorrow as well and work my way back into the routine and begin to get ready for St. George in October.

Headed out the door just after 5 am this morning. What a beautiful morning to, this is the kind of morning you wait for all winter and just soak it all in. I wasn't sure how far I would go this morning, as it has only been two out from doing the marathon. My legs seem to be doing well and recovering just fine. I went up over Harry's and then headed up to the round about over to loafers canyon road and out by the canal. Feeling good and it was nice to be out in the early morning air. Just a great run.

If the wind I'd blowing hard at St. George Marathon this I will be ready for it. It seems as though the wind is blowing every afternoon, not just a little breeze but a good,strong steady blow.

I did the golf course loop today, seen some deer, hawks, and pheasants. Nice run enjoyed very much. Well it sounds like the rest of the week,is,going to,top,out at a 100 degrees for the five or six. Well make for some hot runs.

My legs are starting to bounce back from the marathon of few weeks ago, starting to feel like going again. I will keep it easy for the rest of the week and get back into hill repeats next week.

Nice run this morning out past mini gu corner and back, very muggy which made for a real good sweat. My legs and body this has just felt on the whack side, I know it's because of the heat and it will take some time for my old body to get used to it.

I did see a Deer running next to the road running in the alfalfa fields, it was cool he was just snorting away at me and running crazy in circles.

So far it has been a great week of training,mi will take tomorrow off and do a long run early Saturday morning. See you then.

Met up with my Brother Clay, Pat, Hal, chad, Tom. Clay decided he want to sprint the last eighth mile and it was all I could do to keep up. Hope I did'nt hurt hi,.

It has been a great week of training, the legs are starting to feel good again after last months marathon. I finding it takes about a month for me to get my mojo back after one of those crazy things.

I went on a really cool trail run with my son Bryan this morning. We did the Squaw PeK trail that takes off from just above the Provo Temple. Very steep and rocky but very cool, we made it up to the camp ground. From there we went south for a while on the dirt road very beautiful, thought we saw a bear. Seen some animal big and black dart off into the trees. Very close to us and gave us a little bit of a fright. On the way back we seen it again, we got a better look and could tell that it was a big moose. Nice run with an amazing Son. Would like to do it again and go all the way over down into the left fork of Hobble Creek.

I have not been able to run for about a week, I had the opportunity to go on a stake trek for four days last week. It was a wonderful the built my testimony and had great spiritual experiences.

So today's run I did not feel 100 percent, not sure if the legs were tired from the 28 mile trek of last week or because I missed a week of running. Maybe both, I will work back into my routine slowly.

Finally have some ti e to log my runs, been a busy few days. Fridays heavy ran flooded my family which took a few hours of wet vac and a few days of constant fans running. I do believe it is finally dry and ready to put back together.

Saturdays long run was the highlight of my weekend, was able to run with my son Bryan. It has been a blast to train with him all summer as we both have been getting ready for the St. George Marathon in three weeks. He has helped me push the pace a little more this which has been good for me. Now we get to taper and recharge over the next few weeks and allow our body's to rest a bit from the summers training.

Six days ago on my run I was about two miles into it going up the hill to gu corner. As I rounded the corner a sharp pain went through my left quad, my leg buckled and it felt like I was going to go nose first into the road. I stopped running and my quad was hurting bad to walk on. I thought at the time maybe I pulled a hammy, I had Wendy drive out to get me because it was hurting to walk on. So I thought my chances for SGM in a few weeks was pulled out from under me.

I took six days off, lots of ice and rest and winter rest ointment. So today I thought I will run out to gu corner and back and see how things are feeling. Nice surprise no pain, handled the,run just fine which was encouraging. So on Saturday morning I will go for a longer run and see how everything is going.

Wish me luck!

My second day of running in the last eight. My plan was to do at least a 10 miler this morning. I went real easy did not want to push things as I'm still not sure on the left hammy. It did fine although the last mile it did begin to tire out. Not sure what to think about a week from now during the marathon.i know I can do a least 10' will the old hammy give out after that. It will differently be a crap shoot. Kind of frustrating putting in all this training and then two weeks out an injury.

I will do a few low mile easy runs next week and just do what my old body will handle. It will be a nice vacation and time away from the regular rat race. Today's run was still a great run.

Another St. George Marathon come and gone, it's kind of anti climatic when the marathon is all done. You spend months, and months in preparing for one of these insane events. It becomes a part of your everyday life that you have to pay attention to if you at least what to finish. My muscles rebell for three or four days after these things, and yet I can't wait for the next one to come. Even though I'm not very good at marathoning, I do love the sport of runing. Runing is a great stress reliever, an outlet for me to make some sense of the test and challenges that we all seem to face from time, to time.

As ususal the SGM was not disappointing, the race directors have this down to a science, right down to the last stick of vasaline for calming down the irratation of chafing. Perfect starting area with all the amenities that anyone would need in such an event as this. For me this was one of my better marathons, not a PR by any means. But still a succsses with lots of room for improvement. I was blessed with the opportunity to run with my son Bryan this year. What a great young man and friend he is to me, runung this marathon with him is one of the greatest highlights of my life thus far, and we are both looking forward to next year. I did miss my brother Clay AKA (Rambo Jr.) who, for the last few months has been fighting injury after injurry, there is no doubt he will be with us next year. He will BQ next time around.

My physical goal for the coming year is to shed a whopping 20 pounds, I feel I need to take this step in order to meet my goal of BQing. I really want to disapline my eating habits and make greater inprovemets in my diet. So there you go, it's out thier now and with that I know I can succeed and get down to a better weight for runing marathons. Yoda baby, "Do or Do Not, there is no try."

so here are my numbers:

Mile 1. 9:40

        3. 9:05

Well there you have it, perfect day for a marathon with the wind at our back and cool temps. Just signed up for the runners series this morning, so in a few days it will be time to start all over again. It's been a great year and looking forward to the next physical challenge. "Yoda Baby."

Nice long un with my son Bryan this morning. The wind was brutal all through the run, but we got it done. The gave us a little more of a workout than we we thinking. Great run though.

Got up this morning and went for a run, my legs were a bit whack after running with my son Bryan last night. He pushes the pace when I run with him, which good for I need that in my training. I ran out past mini gu and back today, very nice morning and another great run.

Usually I detest treadmills, I just did not want to run in the cold weather today single digits just not worth it. I only had time for a little workout anyway so I opted for 4.5 miles on the beast. Got it done and did at a decent pace. Great workout and thankful for the treadmill today.

I whimped out of going outside today. The wind is blowing very hard and with snow on the ground it looks like missery. Did the tread kill at more than moderate pace for me at least. Good workout anyway. I miss my long run though.

You should have come over to Salem bro. No wind and it was pretty toasty.

Hurried home from work threw on the cold weather running gear and headed out for my run. The sun goes down pretty early these days and I knew it would get ever colder once it did. Ran out past mini gu corner today, for the most part I was able to stay somewhat comfy for the run. My face did get really cold, I will need to do something about that if the cold the bitter cold weather hangs around. Legs did good today, great 13 degree run.

I did the out and back past mini gu corner today. Ran into my Bro Rambo Jr. Have not seen him for a while he was running great. The temps were a bit warmer today, a balmy 19 degrees. The legs did well, pushed the pace a little bit other than that a great run.

I have not ran for a week, just have not felt very good with a sore throat, achy ans just all around cruddy. Feeling like a small run tody, it was good to just be out and feel the sun. I will ease back into this for a few days.
