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.

I heard the wind blowing this morning aling with the snow and decided to pay .50 cents to go run inside at the Lehi Legacy track.  Glad I was indoors but it was very boring.  Just plodded along at an easy base pace 8:10 per mile.  I swear I was going faster, all the turns I guess.  On a plus side I started really training again in October and weighed 177.  Today I was 157, so I am happy about that.  I should be light on my feet like a gazelle now.

Went by my lonesome to Liberty Park during lunch to run. 1.5 warm up then 6 x 2min at 6:00-6:15 pace with 2 min. active recovery in between. 1.5 cool down. AP for the run 7:54 It was icy in spots and had to ice skate a few times.

Between working 14 hours and the snow storm.  I did not make it out on a run today.  My plans calls for an optional cross training so I did some push-ups, pull-ups, and core excercises, and some weights.  I am trying to get back into regular stregnth training, I am trying to do atleast 100 push ups a day.  I am now up to 2 days in a row, we'll see how it goes.

Went to Liberty Park by my lonesome again.  Great day for a run, kind of warm, light rain, and my legs were feeling good.  Went 6 miles at base pace with 2 min. pick ups every 5 minutes.  It was hard to tell what paces I was hitting as the GPS kept cutting in and out with the trees, I tried to keep it below 6:15 for the pick ups.  Average pace for the entire run was 7:27.  It felt good to get the legs turning over now and then.  I went till the gps hit 6 but with it cutting in and out probably went a bit further.

6 easy miles with Laurel this morning around the neighborhood.  She went 5 with me then I did an extra mile by myself.  Nice, warm, and sunny outside.  Tomorrow it is supposed to be windy and snow for our long run.

11 cold and wet miles with Chet this morning.  Started at my house then hit the trail out to SR73.  From there headed up the hill to the ranches, then went south to the stop sign then back east, then looped back to the house.  Pretty nice loop I haven't ran it before.  It was raining pretty hard when we left and didn't let up the whole time.  I need to purchase a running jacket because by the end my clothes probably weighed 20lbs.

My history on my garmin was full at about 10 miles, up to there AP was 8:29.  My legs were a little more fatigued this morning and the rain and soaked clothes and shoes did not help.  But we got our mileage in and now it's snowing.  Congradulations on those who raced today.
