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.

Been feeling kinda crappy lately, sore throat in the morning and congested pretty much all day.  It's been hard to stay motivated to wake up early in the cold when you feel like crap, plus wrestling practice, scouts, ect. in the afternoon.  Wrangled the Monroe mountain again this morning.  2400' of elevation gain in the first four miles, then back down.  Soft snow packed road made it kind of hard to get traction but not too bad.  Just me and the dog again...  Lungs felt pretty bad the first little bit and I was having not so good thoughts, walked most of the second mile, snapped out of it after that and shortened my strides and just looked down and ran the rest of the way up, not very fast, but at least I was running.  I have a goal to be able to run it all sometime this year.  Just enjoyed my self on the way down, only past two snowmobilers on the way out.  I am thinking I might need a running vest pretty soon and also need to order some more gels, been running with only water since I moved.
