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.

Got up this morning and headed to the gym before work. I felt bad leaving all the snow in the driveway and the puppy for my wife to take care of, but I had to be at work in Salt Lake at 7:00 and with the snow I did not have much time. She has the day off so she will get a good workout I guess.

Felt really good to get a run in before work.  First 4 miles 8 min pace, 5 the mile 7:47, last 1.25 7:30 pace.  Just a good base run, hopefully I can start running more consistant this week.

Hopefully I am getting back on track, well the treadmill at least.  Due to the snow I opted on another treadmill workout at the gym.

First 5 miles at 8:00 pace, then miles 6-7 at 7:30, with the last mile at 8:00 again.

I am again cautiously optimistic I can start training again and gradually build up on the miles.

Once again an early morning treadmill run at the gym.  I just moved office to Draper which is a lot closer to my house.  It is nice because the gym is right by my work and when it is not so icy and snowy out the Porter Rockwell trail is like a quarter mile from my office.  I could probably even run to work if I was really ambitious.

4 miles at 8:00 pace then miles 4-6.5 at 7:30 with the last .5 at 7:03. 7 miles total- Just working on building my base again and feeling things out.  I hope to average 7 miles per day this week.

Another day running, woo hoo I am on a roll.  Went to the gym again this morning and did 7 there on the treadmill.  I have to have the TV on and headphones in just to keep me interested.  1 mile warm up at 8:00 pace then 3 miles at 7:30, 2 at 7:03 , and a cool down mile at 8:00 pace.  Didnt feel too hard, but hard to imagine hitting 7:03 pace for marathon pace in a couple months.  Just got to gradually build up again and stay healthy.  Hopefully I can continue to be consistant.  Come on warmer weather and dry roads.  The roads where I live were a sloppy mess this morning.

Had to drop the car off at the mechanics in Lehi, so went to the Legacy Center with my wife.  Ran around the track inside, holy turns,  Turned it into a progression run mostly because I wanted to get it over with.  Miles were as follows : 8:39,8:19,7:58,7:50,7:41,7:33,7:17.  Pretty much tried to run easy and push one stretch of the track to marathon pace for a little stride.  The pace felt like I was going faster than what the watch said.  It will be a busy, busy day tomorrow so I hope I can get a run in early.

Good cold run this morning.  My son's baptism is this morning so I headed out early to get the run in.  My eyelashes and eyebrows were covered with ice when I got back.  Started at the iron bridge in Lehi and headed south along the JRP.  The trail was flooded at Willow Park so I headed up on main st. to the 4 corners.  Then North on Redwood until the road the Police driving range is on then looped back to the iron bridge. 

My garmin's battery died at mile 4, I was planning on going 10 but when I mapped it when I got home it was only 9.  Legs were feeling some fatigue.  I didn't push the pace and was averaging around 8:20 when my garmin died.  Probably averaged somewhere right in there. 

We might go snowshoeing this afternoon so I will get some more time on the legs.  It was a beautiful sunrise this morning.  It's a good day to be alive...
