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.

Went out this morning and did the Sierra Vista road. All on pavement, got a little slippery around miles 4-5 and on the way back as there was a skiff of snow on the road as it is higher elevation there. Felt pretty good during the run, tried to stay relaxed and comfortable, with a moderate push the last few miles. AP 7:44

Still working on turnover this week, flatter runs, not so technical.  Went to the dirt roads leading from the Bishop's over into poverty flats only about 500 ft of climbing for the run, Legs felt refreshed this morning.  Got some good miles in and would have gone further if I didn't have to cover the office this morning.  AP 7:45

Day 58: Ran from my house up to the mouth of the canyon then on the trail along the foothills until I got to the hotsprings which was right around 5 miles, then back home the same way. Still kept a good effort even though there was more climbing and technical trail compared to the dirt road. Legs were starting to get tired the last few miles. AP 8:33 with 818' of climbing, tried to keep the effort level about the same.

Ran along dirt country roads again this morning.  Relatively mile with a gentle climb the first 5 miles.  Got a good push on the way back and felt on a roll there for a while.  AP: 7:46

We are going to a wrestling tournament tomorrow morning in Price so I decided to get my long run in today. I have been wanting to run into work so today was the day. Took the back roads and tried to keep the pace easier. I am planning on also running home this afternoon. Hopefully it will simulate the last half of an ultra as I will mentally have to keep going.  I really hate to run in the afternoons after sitting all day. This week will be a test as I have had a cold all week and with my runs in the morning by afternoon I am so tired at work being sick and physically tired.  I still seem to be able to run ok in the mornings.  AP 8:06

PM: Commute run home - 12.5 miles got it done and the legs performed better than expected.  AP: 7:51 It was good to train the legs to run tired and on zero calories, only water.  I should sleep like a baby tonight.

Quick shakeout to keep the streak alive.  Once I started the legs started to feel better.  Ran around the high school track across the street from my house then played football with the kids afterwards on the field.  AP 8:03

This was a really good training week for me, I wanted to get some miles and get some turnover back as I was hitting the trails and hills pretty hard the last few weeks average pace for the 70.2 miles this week 7:57.  Feeling pretty comfortable with the 8 min pace...
