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.

Started the run this morning feeling very stiff so I took it very easy and just did a recovery run around the hood.  Hopefully I loosen up quickly..

Just getting in the miles this morning. Still felt like the legs weren't fully recovered. Just took it easy on the dirt roads heading towards Poverty Flats. Didn't push the pace but still got some decent mileage in hopefully burning off some fat. AP 8:40

Ran the Sierra Vista Road this morning, could tell it was colder this morning. Legs are starting to feel much better, tried to keep a good pace without overdoing anything to be able to possibly get one workout in tomorrow.  AP 7:58  I have been really tired in the afternoons lately, need to get more sleep or my work will suffer.  I pretty much just want to go home and take a nap after lunch.  My weight has been coming down, not as much as I wanted but slowly losing.  I hope to be in the 150's by my race next week, I was 161 after my run this morning.

Good run this morning on the dirt road heading toward Poverty Flats. Wanted to get one good workout in this week and my legs were feeling decent. Took it easy on the first five miles as it climbs about 900 ft and was into a headwind. Had fun on the way back down as the grade allows you to get some good turnover without pounding you to death. averaged below 7 min. miles on the way back without going into the red.  And as an added bonus weighed in at 159.8 after the run.  I'm sure my dog ran three times as far as me chasing the rabbits through the sage.

Day 48: Lovely Friday morning, slept in a bit then did some exploring around Monroe Canyon. Went off trail just looking around on ridge lines seeing if I could find some deer antler sheds. No luck but saw some new country lots of deer and some elk.  Slow going although it was some good climbing and scrambling down in places.  Weaved my way back through the bottoms over the rocks and around the cactus.  I wanted to take it easy and rest the legs for a longer run tommorow morning.  Legs felt pretty good today.

Started the morning off with a long trial run on the Pavhant.  I was going to go 10 then refuel at the car and go on another trail for 10.  I was feeling good and thought I had enough fluids to keep going up the canyon so I did 17.4 for the first push.  Just wanted to keep exploring the trail.  Tried to find a sustainable pace for my 50K coming up.  Got back to my car and filled up on more fluids and did an extra four miles on another trail. 3,669' of elevation gain I was able to run every step of the way although it was not very fast at times.

Got home and T.J. my 8 year old was waiting at the door with his running shoes.  He said the other day I want to go on a long run like you, I guess he remembered, so went back out and did four extra miles with him.  He did great!
