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 thought I would be able to get away from Saturday's run up the mountain without any leg soreness, wrong.  Felt fine on Sat. then sat in the car all day yesterday on a long road trip then woke up this morning and they were pretty sore.  Took the puppy running through the fields behind the house early this morning, then went snowshoeing up the canyon with the family during the day.  Got home and didn't feel too motivated but it was so nice outside, I went for a quick run while my dinner was cooking in the oven.  Felt very nice to be out and got most of the soreness out of my legs.  AP 7:26

Chickened out this morning and went to the gym to run inside.  I've been such a baby with the cold runs in the morning lately.  I was planning on some speed work mixed into the workout this morning, but had a knot in my hamstring and the legs did not feel totally recovered so I did not want to injure anything.

1 mile @8:19, then 4 miles at 8 pace, 1 mile at 7:30, then the last again at 8,  all at 1.0 incline.

 I had to listen to my body this morning.  I can run through tired legs and have to train my legs to do so, but this morning it felt like I could injure something if I did any speed work.

Very easy recovery run around the hood. Started uphill and in my heavy sweats so it forced myself to go slow. Just cruised along nice and easy, ended up running up the dirt road up to the quarry then looped back home.  AP for the run 9:11,

Looked outside the window early this morning and could see snow on the roads and blowing snow so I went to the academy to get a run inside on the treadmill. 1 mile warm up @8:00 pace, then 5 miles at 6:53 pace, then .75 at 6:39, with the last .25 @6:18, 1 mile cool down at 8:00 pace, miles 3,5,and 7 at 1.0 incline.

Good tempo run for me, feel like I am getting stronger and the pace did not seem overwhelming.  I'll get there...

Same run as Wednsday with an added mile or so with the pup when I got back home, and a snow storm.  PF in the right foot has been acting up lately.  Hopefully the weather holds out for a long run tomorrow.

I was worried the weather would be terrible for the run this morning.  Turned out it was pretty nice just a little windy in spots.  It looks terrible out there now.  Ran the course for the Shamrock Half Marathon in Saratoga all by my lonesome.

The run felt really good had a unplanned progression run of sorts. 1st mile 8:09, last mile 6:44, with an AP of 7:38, total 1:40:16. No fuel, only water.  Felt pretty good at the end, hopefully with some consistant work I can have a really good year...
