Personal:

I used to run competitively, and maybe I will do so again someday.  Right now I am primarily running to try and get in better shape, and to maintain both physical and emotional health, but also for the simple joy that comes when I run.

I am also the proud daddy of five little ones.  I love the opportunity that I have to be a daddy, and my challenge is to balance my family responsibilities with work and running.

I ran with a whole gang of people this morning up in Park City.  We started off pretty slow going through some hills in Park City at the 4.5 mile mark we had been out for about 36 minutes.  So, 8 min pace for the first little while.  Then, Walter and I started to pick up the pace and the next thing I know the others are completely out of sight.  We ended up running down the trail the Park City half-marathon is run on until we got to I-80.  At this point we ran next to the highway for a bit and then ended up looping back on a road in the middle of nowhere until we finally made it back to the trail we had been running on earlier.  We started heading back to where we started, and eventually we caught up to the rest of the group, finishing with them.  We finished in 2:08:00 for 18.2 miles, while the others had gone just over 15 miles during the same time span.  I then did 4 100s on the turf at the high school barefoot just to see what it would feel like to finish off my mileage for the day at 18.45.

Great running with you (at least your warm-up and cool-down). See you around.

it was good running with you too. It is fun for me to get to know some of the people on the blog finally. Sasha always talks about everyone, but it wasn't until recently that I started meeting people.
