Interesting run.  Sunny drove me out toward Virgin, half way there we came upon an accident.  I got out and she turned around and heading back down to La Verkin.  Fortunately, no one was injured too bad in the accident, 4 Chinese people flipped a SUV. After, standing around and waiting for the EMT's to arrive I then left and ran along the old highway interesting in the first mile I saw two different groups of people shooting guns, and a strange guy digging for something using his metal detector.  I then turned and ran up the Overlook Road and down the steep section of the trail.  Actually, much easier running up the trail than down it.  Overall, the run was 5 miles, didn't feel that great on the run and now that I'm home I'm feeling a little like I've got a head cold starting.

Basketball this morning

Good workout this afternoon.  I recently decided to come up with a new route for doing tempo runs.  I really liked doing tempos from Anderson Junction down through Toquerville.  This route has some good downhill and for the past few years I have done tempos out there with quite a bit of success.  However, one of the draw backs is having to either shuttle cars out to the freeway or finding a time for Sunny to drive me out there to drop me off.  With those things in mind, I decided to come up with a route in Hurricane that would be pretty flat and fair, knowing that my splits would be quite a bit slower than the previously mentioned tempo route out in Toquerville.

Today I decided to give the route a try, not the best choice probably the windiest day we've had in Hurricane all year.  Anyway, I did a 1 mile warm-up from the Splash pad back toward La Verkin, then started at 600 North on SR 9.

1-6:56 from 600 North to 400 South

2-6:57 from 400 South to 400 West

3- 7:15 out by the Intermediate School

4-6:38 along 920 West flat and fast

5-7:18 along 400 South to 1760 West

6-6:42 along SR 9 to Family Pawn

1 mile cool-down back to Rec Center.

I think this tempo route might work ok.  I'm sure as I get in better shape and have better running conditions (not as much wind) the times will come down a bit.

Pretty decent run today.  I drove up 14 miles from my house on SR 9.  Started the run at the top of the hill just before Rockville and came back to La Verkin.  The goal was to try to run a 1:35:00 half (7:15)  I ended up with a 1:34:24 (7:12)  I felt good about this especially because of the conditions rain, strong head wind, and legs feeling tired from yesterday's tempo.  Also this route does have a few sections with some hills especially leaving Virgin and heading toward La Verkin.

Good workout this evening.  Did 2.5 mile warm-up from Warthen Park over to Valley View Drive, then started a 5 mile tempo from the first fire hydrant.  The downhill miles were easy, however there was a good headwind.  The next 3 miles were average, I turned and went through the park, looking back now at the times I think it would be faster and easier to just stay on the road the entire tempo so I might just do that next time.  Overall time was 32:19 (6:28 avg)

Wow this was a great week!  Monday was busy with driver's ed and high school track awards night.  Jordan got one of the outstanding track athlete awards. Tuesday began the week of events to attend.  After school on Tuesday we took Jordan to Adrian's and bought most of his missionary clothes.  I was very impressed with the gentleman that helped us (Dave Farnsworth?) I will need to go back and find out his name.  After getting the clothes total came to $1000 (which both sets of grandparents split down the middle, thanks this really helped us out) Jordan went to high school graduation practice and Sunny and I went to the temple to go through with Easton and Kazden Jolley.  It was a great session and glad we could support them.  They have both been really great friends to Jordan. Also on Tuesday I submitted my application for one of the two assistant principal/athletic director positions in the district.  Wednesday was high school graduation.  Before that we had an assembly at the intermediate school Jansen was recognized for his work in orchestra.  Graduation was fun, it was at the Burns Arena in St. George and I did pretty good holding my emotions in check.  After graduation we took Jordan to get some garments in preparation to going through the temple on Thursday. Eileen had a party for Jordan later that afternoon.  The real fun came around 10:30 that night when Sunny and I went to help out with the grad night party.  It was a fun evening even though we were out until 4 in the morning, helping with a ring toss game.  I had never been to a grad night but thought the event was excellent for the kids.  Thursday morning I was pretty tired but was able to make it through the last day of school, fortunately it was only a half day.  Thursday afternoon we went through the temple with Jordan, this was a really great experience.  My parents were there along with McKell's, Larsens, and Johnsons.  There were also many of Jordan's friends and their parents.  Erik Mitchell also went through on Thursday.  After the session we went to dinner at Texas Roadhouse.  Friday morning I had an interview for the assistant principal position. Also on Friday my parents packed up their camper and headed home. Friday evening we went to the temple with Cody Lebaron after that session we went to dinner at Chili's.  Saturday we helped Gary trim his hedge.  It was a pretty big project.  Sunday we had normal meetings. I taught Teacher/Priest Quorum. I had a stake leadership meeting Sunday evening.

I did a lot of driving this week.  In fact Tuesday I did like 7 hours, so lots of hours in the driver's ed car, but that is ok, we need the money.

Today (Sunday) was fast Sunday.  We started the day off with having a disciplinary court, an individual coming off of probation.  I learned quite a bit from listening to the individuals involved in the case. After that meeting at 7:30 we had bishopric, then PEC, then Ward Council, normal block of meetings, and then tithing. Today's count took forever, we didn't leave the church until 7:45, lots of flag money, plus fasting offerings.

Well, this past week was filled with many spiritual experiences. On Monday we continued to help Jordan pack up his room and get his bags ready to leave on his mission.  Monday evening we sold the Jeep Cherokee to the Ryman's for $1800 which is the same price we bought it for, I really hope the Jeep works for them.  We plan to put the money in the bank so Jordan can buy something when he gets home.  Monday evening we went out to Erik's setting apart, which was good.  Tuesday we got around, Jolley's took Jordan to lunch and then we gathered everyone and had one last family prayer.  I struggled offering the prayer, even though I know that serving a mission is the best thing Jordan can be doing at this point in his life.  It was really touching to see him saying his last goodbyes to Gary and Eileen, as well as the other aunts, uncles, and cousins.  As we drove off the emotions finally hit Jordan pretty hard.  The trip to Salt Lake was pretty good.  We spent Tuesday evening visiting with Grandma and Corey and Danielle.  Wednesday July 9th..Today was the day Elder Jordan Ence reported to the Provo MTC.  This was one of the hardest things I've had to do recently trying to be strong as everyone was feeling very emotional.  We went to breakfast at IHOP, but Jordan didn't really enjoy his meal like he usually do. After breakfast we spent some time on the grounds at the Provo Temple, saying our last goodbyes.  It was hard seeing each child give Jordan one last hug goodbye. Jansen had a very hard time, he is at that age where he is going through lots of changes and is very emotional.  We pulled into the MTC at 12:45 right on time. I got out and helped another missionary collect Jordan's suitcases, while Sunny was able to have one last nice hug, then it was my turn.  I will be honest I had a real hard time saying good-bye.  While fighting back all the tears I told him to be completely obedient and to have a great time.  Our time was short and then Elder Ence picked up his suitcase and marched off.  I had a great feeling as I watched him walk off very confident and excited to start his mission! Godspeed Elder Ence.  After the MTC we went back up to the temple and visited shortly with Brock Fenton and his sister and Dad.  We were also able to see Erik Mitchell and his family.  Wednesday night we spent some time swimming and then went up to Temple Square.  Thursday morning we woke up and took the kids to Hogle Zoo, it was ok, but not great. After the zoo we went back to Temple Square.  We took the tour on top of the Church Office Building as well as on top of the Conference Center.  After that we went to an open practice for the Utah Jazz.  The entire family even Sunny and Joslin enjoyed the evening watching the younger Jazz players. We were all excited they gave out free T-shirts promoting Dante Exum and Rodney Hood.  We even got a shirt for Jordan and sent it to him in a package.  On Friday Jansen and I went down to Provo and joined up with the kids at youth conference.  When we got there, the youth were just finishing up a service project and then we did an activity called object lessons.  Each member in the bishopric had to pull random objects out of a trash bag and then related them to the gospel.  It was kind of a fun game.  We spent the afternoon at Seven Peaks Water Park which was lots of fun.  I had fun going on the different slides with Jansen and also Bradley Creel.  After the water park we headed back out to where we were camping at Utah Lake State Park.  On the way back I decided to drive by the MTC and guess who was outside playing sand volleyball? Elder Ence!! I did not get his attention or distract him from his mission. Rather, Jansen and I and a few other deacons just parked for a short time and watched him having fun with his district. As we were leaving Jansen told me that last night in his prayers he had prayed that he could see Jordan one last time.  To me this was just one of the many tender mercies the Lord has given our family.  Jansen has really been having a hard time emotionally with Jordan leaving and I believe this was reassuring to him to see his older brother having a good experience with his new missionary friends.  Friday night at camp was good, and became somewhat eventful around 12:30 when a group of Rainbow people came and camped right next to us.  Bro. Christian and I stayed up until 3:00 am making sure everything was safe and secure, before we went to bed. Saturday we came home, which was good this week was starting to get a little long being away from home. Today, was pretty good, sacrament went good Silver Beatty, Sariah Beagley, Alli Farrar, and Wade Beatty spoke.  I stayed after and did the count and had to be back up at the church in the evening for a disciplinary council.  This was the second one I've been involved in and both have been spiritual experiences and have helped me better understand and appreciate the blessings of the atonement.

Nice early morning run down the course with Mike, Bill, Cody, and Scott.  We did 10 miles from Mike's Gym PF 24/7 started at Diamond Valley. We kept the pace pretty much under control.  We did throw in a 2 mile tempo towards the end (5:57, 5:52) My knee actually felt pretty good once we got going.  I started a trial sample of supplements from the Stewarts yesterday, I'm also skeptical but I'll see what a week of this stuff does.

This week was pretty good.  Running wise I was able to hit 50 miles and felt pretty good with a longer run on Saturday with Bill, Mike, Cody, and Scott.  I also was able to drive a few students this week and also spent a lot of time helping Sunny paint furniture and move things around.  We moved Jansen and Jarren up into Jordan's room.  Joslin moved over to Jansen and Jarren's room, and lastly we moved Jordan's queen bed downstairs and created a guest room in Joslin's old room.  Things are starting to get put back together and all of the rooms look pretty good.  Tuesday night we didn't have bishopric, because bishop was out of town, so Bro. Christian did temple recommend interviews and then went to the combined activity.  We got a letter from Jordan on Thursday and he seems to be doing pretty good in the MTC.  Today was Payton's farewell.  Tonight we had General Priesthood meeting is was ok.  Kind of funny Jansen kept snuggling up to me during the meeting like he was wanting to fall asleep.

Another busy week.  I spent quite a bit of time driving this past week which was good.  I'm really needing to make as much money as I can right now with Jordan on a mission.  Speaking of Jordan he is doing good in the MTC.  He was just made a zone leader along with his companion.  We received both an email and a hand written letter this week, which both were very positive.  We did good as a family this week reading our scriptures each night.  Tuesday night Sunny and I went with Jayce Housley to the temple.  It was a good session and I'm happy for him.   I feel bad that his parents are struggling with their marriage, hopefully things can work out for them. After the session Sunny and I went to Cafe Rio which was nice.  Wednesday morning Jansen and I went up to Springdale and helped set up chairs for the 24th celebration.  Thursday morning I met up with Bill and Scott and ran 8 miles, still having some knee issues. I got home in time to help Gary and Eileen at the free breakfast they were helping put on in conjunction with the 24th of July. Thursday night we took the kids of to Washington and watched the fireworks.  Also on the 24th I helped Jansen pick up all of the scout flags.  I think by the end of doing the flags we were both feeling a little frustrated with some of the other Deacons and the Scoutmaster for all being gone.  Friday I drove two different times.  Saturday morning was busy.  We had a baptism in the ward, but Bro. Ray Eves was gone so I had to fill the font and then conduct the baptism, it turned out pretty good.  Saturday evening Sunny and I went to dinner at Paula's we took Joslin also which made the dinner crazy.  Today, I was the only member of the bishopric at church.  Bishop was up North and Danny was sick.  Actually, things ran pretty smooth still it is much better when everyone is there.

Pretty good week, summer vacation is quickly coming to an end.  I guess the highlight of the week was celebrating our 15th wedding anniversary on Wednesday.  We didn't really do anything big this year, Sunny's parents were gone and we didn't have anybody around to watch the kids longer than an hour or so.  McKinzie took Joslin and Sunny and I went and watched a movie.  Earlier in the day we went to lunch at KFC and then for dinner we shared some nachos at Costa Vida.  I'm pretty cheap.  Saturday morning I went on a run with Steve and Jennifer Smith as well as John Larsen and Sunny.  After the run Steve and Jennifer took us to breakfast at Main Street Cafe.  Today I had a bunch of meetings starting at 9, finally got home at 6:00 pm.  We got an email from Jordan on Tuesday and also a letter this week, things are going good for him.  He has gained 20 pounds already in the MTC.  Also this week we did some school clothes shopping as well as buying new comforters for the boys and for the guest room.  Tuesday night there was pack meeting at the swimming pool and then I had bishopric meeting.

This past week I started back to school.  Most years I'm ok with heading back to work, but this summer was just way too short.  I really felt like it was a short summer.  I guess we were just so busy getting Jordan out on his mission that we didn't get much else done.  Anyway, I had to work Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday.  Wednesday I went to round table and Sunny took the kids to the county fair with Steve and Jennifer.  Thursday night we had Back to School Night which was ok.  Friday, Jansen went on a campout up to Kolob. Saturday I helped Brooke Cox move, then I ran 12 miles and then we spent some time in St. George.  Saturday night we went to Jayce's dinner and then Sunday we went to his farewell.  Also on Sunday I had a key scouter's meeting and then we had dinner at McKell's.   Tomorrow we start school.

Well this week was pretty good.  We started school on Monday, Tuesday night we took the youth and went and climbed Molly's Nipple south of Hurricane.  That was an adventure driving out there.  On Thursday, my parents came we had dinner from Pizza Wagon.  On Friday, we went to Dylan Ence's Eagle Court of Honor which turned out pretty good.  Saturday, I did a shorter run and then we went up to Zion and hiked to Emerald Pools.  My dad did pretty good, my mom stayed home and watched Joslin.  Sunday, we got up early and went to Kaydn' Ence's farewell and Justin Crapo's homecoming it was good. After the meeting they had a nice luncheon with lots of food.  I didn't go to any of my ward meetings Sunday, just got home from the other ward and waited for Jordan to call us.  He had a layover in Chicago and was able to call home.  However, he struggled figuring out how to use the phone cards and we didn't get to talk very long.  Anyway his flight plan was as follows leave Salt Lake 11:00---Chicago-3:00--Chicago-8:15---London 9:00 am the next morning, then 12 hour layover leave London 9:00 pm Monday night fly to Johannesburg get there at 9:00 am then layover until 2:00 pm and then final flight to Maputo arrive around 3:00 Tuesday. 52 Hours total.  I'm sure he will be a little tired and have jet lag.

This past week was ok.  Some highlights included getting to talk to Jordan on Monday while he had a layover in London.  We got a picture of him on Tuesday after he had arrived at the mission home, we also got a picture sent on Friday with him and his mission president having dinner.  Tuesday night I had bishopric, Wednesday night was back to school night for Jarren.  One highlight this week was getting a membership at Performance Fitness 24/7 (Mike Warren's gym)  Anyway, he has some cool equipment there, one thing is an incline trainer which I used twice this week.  The trainer is cool because you can upload maps with google street view and then it shows up on the screen just like you are running down the actual road.  This week I did runs in Craig, Sao Paulo, and Boston.  Friday night Sunny and I went to dinner at Durangos.  Saturday morning I did a 13 mile run with Mike, Bill, and Cody.  Saturday night we had a fundraiser dinner for the ward.  Today was pretty good.  I had to teach the Beehives which went pretty good.  This evening I went home teaching with Tui, we were able to visit both the Bowman's and Gubler's.  Also tonight I emailed Jordan.  I'm thinking his P-day will be on Monday's so I'm getting anxious to get an email from him to see how everything is going now that he has made it to Mozambique.

Dustin, are you still running SG Marathon this year. I know it is frustrating for me to not be able to run as I used to. Nagging aches and pains etc. I guess mostly I have got into road biking a really like it. Take care.

From Dustin on Thu, Aug 28, 2014 at 13:08:33 from 204.113.48.71

Yeah I'm signed up for the marathon, just not in the shape I used to be in. Like you said injuries can be frustrating. I'm hoping to turn things around and get going better with my training.

Overall I was pretty pleased with this race.  My goal was to try to break 1:30:00, so I accomplished that by running a 1:28:05.  I figured that would be a realistic goal for my current shape.  I'm glad I did this race and I feel like it was a positive experience for me. It will be interesting to see how the next month of training goes.

Anyway got over to catch the bus around 4:45 and saw Dave and Clyde rode up with them on the bus.  It was good to talk to Clyde haven't seen him in quite awhile.  Both him and Dave had good races, finished 1-2, and then James was 4th.  I did a 1.5 mile warm-up and then made my way to the start.  My plan was to try to not go out too hard in the beginning and just try to give the same effort througout the entire race (which I think I did pretty well)

1-6:15 Good downhill, but dark and watching out for others

2-6:20 Steepest downhill, but still dark and not a lot of room on the shoulder of the road

3-6:35 Tweeked my knee running through a dip in the road. Bummer my right knee which has been giving me fits all summer.

4-6:23 An ok mile

5-6:41 Felt good through this section, 

6-6:51

7-7:07 Stopped and took a GU and drank some water, probably wasted 20-30 seconds stopped

8-6:45

9-6:55-Basically from here until mile 12 I was very consistent and just hoping that things

This past week was birthday week.  My birthday was on the 26th, my dad's the 28th, and Sunny's on the 29th.  On Monday Jansen had his first football game, he did pretty good.  It was really cool on the last play of the game he made a tackle which prevented the other teaming from scoring a touchdown.  Tuesday night I went and did visits with the stake.  I was paired with Golden Johnson and we visited the Larsen's and Shelly Keene.  Both were pretty good visits.  On Sunny's birthday we went and watched the movie the Giver, had dinner at Chick-fil-a and then went to the Hurricane High School Football game.  Saturday, I ran the Southern Utah Half Marathon.  I actually did pretty good considering the shape I'm currently in ran a 1:28:05.  Saturday afternoon and evening we spend over at Peach Days. Today, I had an early 6:00 am meeting, at church we had a combined lesson in YM/YW taught by the bishop.

Pretty decent workout.  Did 6 mile tempo run from Anderson Junction to Riverwoods.

1 mile warm-up in a light rain.

1-6:25 some uphill

2-6:15 not as fast as it could have been, right knee and left calf still buggin

3-6:34 decent mile considering the rolling

4-6:29 most pleased with this mile as it has some uphill leaving Toquerville and is usually slower

5-6:12 good mile, I used to run this quite a bit faster but just kept it under control today.

6-6:42 a little uphill in the middle and then the last .4 on dirt which was a little tricky today with all the rain.

38:42 (6:27 avg) the training plan just called for a 6:43 avg, so I was happy I was able to run a little faster.

For a cool down I ran 4 miles over to the river, which was flowing very fast and out of its bank in a few spots, very dangerous, but also cool to watch.  I made sure I didn't get too close, but still had this weird feeling of excitement.

Tough day for me on the marathon course.  I was ready to drop out numerous times, but ended up finishing in 3:34:40. Fortunately Bill came by about .5 from the finish and helped encourage me to make it to the end.  This was my 13th marathon overall and 9th STG.  I felt decent the first half, but the second half was brutal.  Right now I have no desire to run another marathon anytime soon.  I've never felt comfortable with longer distances, and often question why I even sign up to run marathons when I really don't enjoy them that much.  One thing I do know I'm not going to sign up for another marathon until I've lost at least 15 pounds.  Right now I'm just too heavy and out of marathon shape both physically and mentally.

On a more positive note.  I was happy to see so many of my friends run well today.  Many had personal bests and great performances.  I felt terrible after the race and left right away so I didn't get to talk to very many people.

Nice recovery day.  Spent the day watching LDS General Conference, one of my most favorite weekends of the year.  I felt much better today compared to yesterday.  Of courses my legs are still sore, but I've been able to eat some food which has been good.  Just to recap the past week, busy with preparations for the marathon.  Thursday night I had parent teacher conferences which lasted a few hours after school.  Tuesday night we had bishopric meeting up in Virgin and meet with the clerks also.

This was a pretty good week.  I stayed busy teaching a driver's ed class and working on scout rechartering (I will be glad when that is over).  Yesterday I went on a nice run up near Virgin, also helped Jansen mow the duplex.  It felt great to get out and enjoy the nice weather.  I really enjoy fall down here in Southern Utah temperature was great.  Friday night Sunny and I went over to St. George and tried out the new Qdoba resturant, pretty good food.

Today, was busy as it was Fast Sunday and I had to conduct.  We had a few changes in Sunday School and as I mentioned before I've been busy working on scout stuff.

Everything else is going pretty good.  I'm looking forward to this week as we only have three days of school and then Fall Break.  Also Joslin will have her birthday on Sunday.

Basketball this morning, and then got home and was planning on going for a run, but ended up playing Jansen about 4 games of one on one and then played soccer with Jarren for 20 minutes. By the time I was done I just bagged the idea of going on a run. Oh well,

Had a fun week.  We had fall break, so it was nice to have a few extra days off from work.  Sunny and I went to Vegas on Friday.  We went and saw Frank Caliendo on Friday night, it was a really funny show.  Before the show we did some shopping and had dinner at TGIF, but it wasn't very good.  After the show we walked the strip and then went back to our hotel, we stayed off the strip at a Marriot it was an ok hotel got it for $60 on priceline.

Saturday evening we celebrated Joslin's birthday.  She is really into Frozen right now, so that was what most of her presents were.  Sunny made Navajo Tacos and we also had a cake from Costco.

Today was actually Joslin's birthday (3 years old). I was pretty busy with meetings today, however bishop didn't have any interviews after church so he said he would stay and do the count so that I could go home and spend more time with my parents.  They got here on Friday with their camper and plan to stay about a week.

Went and saw Dr. Welch today regarding my knee.  He didn't feel like there was any ligament damage.  He thought maybe I've torn or strained my meniscus so he gave me some stretches to do, he said he didn't think I could do much more damage to my knee by running.  I played some basketball with Jansen and then I rode the exercise bike for 20 minutes.  I'm actually beginning to wonder if riding the bike is causing some of the knee pain?
