Married with three boys. Ran the Odgen Marathon in honor of my mother, a marathoner, who passed away from cancer and it just had continued from there. Grew up in a running family and have fallen in love with running, especially on trails.

Went out with Chet for his birthday run this morning.  We ran the course for the Shamrock Half marathon next weekend in Saratoga Springs.  We finished up the miles around the half mile track in the back of the middle school.  I made the mistake of eating all you can eat pasta last night.  My tummy was rumbling the first 6 miles and I had to take a pitstop then.  Chet kept running and I didn't catch back up to him until around mile 13.

I wanted to keep it pretty relaxed this morning.  I felt like I didn't have enough fuel in me for most of the run. AP for the run was 8:06.  I only pushed harder on 2 miles, mile 8 was 7:18 trying to catch back up to Chet, where did he go?  And the last mile was 7:34, I was almost feeling better at the end of the run, almost got in a groove.  I'm sure if I ate my goo I would have been fine for the run.  Anyways longest run of the year so far and my legs feel fine afterwards.  Last year I would have been sore for a while for sure about this time.  Good luck to all those racing this weekend.
