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.

Long day at work today, didn't have much time this morning. Almost went back to sleep but changed and at least went out for a little. Im sure the possible 10 pounds I put on after pigging out for easter weekend motivated me out the door. I was hoping my legs would be recovered from last week but I was feeling pretty hammered this morning. Pretty much just jogged around the hood for a couple miles. I did start to loosed up after a bit, hopefully I will recover quickly.

Ended up not running this morning and had to sneak a run in tonight befor bed.  Ran to the city park in the hood which is a half mile around.  Was wanting to get some quarter mile repeats in on the grass to ease the pounding on my legs.  Ended up doing quarter mile repeats with an equal amount of recovery in between.  All the repeats were either 1:23 or 1:24 so stayed pretty consistant.  I was planning on at least a few more but it was dark and I went down on a loose piece of sod on my last recovery jog and didn't want to injure anything so I called it good and jogged home.

It was pretty fun getting some faster turnover going with the legs.

Waited until around 8am to hit the JRP trail starting at the Iron Bridge.  Wanted to get some tempo miles in.  2 mile warm up - 8:44,8:49, then 5 mile tempo 6:52,6:48,6:51,6:50,6:47, 2 mile cool down 8:36,8:27.  AP 7:37

I was hoping to have a lot more pop in the legs after taking it easy this week.  The warm up and cool down almost hurt more than the faster miles.  I kept telling myself to relax on the tempo run, the mind is a crazy thing, once I got it in my head I was just going to do 5 miles faster that was all my body would let me do.  I also thing it is past time to buy some new shoes.  I just hope they last a few more weeks without causing any injuries, as I want them somewhat fresh for the race.

On a positive note my wife bought her (well me) a new gps watch, just got to figure it out

Went with the pup in the fields, for a bit then went with the family down to Willow Park to have a nice stroll down the JRP.  It was fun to watch the pup play in the river, she sure loves the water.

Went down to the JRP again, just took it easy this morning.  I was planning on 13 then ran into Mark Ellison on the way back so I ran about a mile with him, then let him go on the rest of his run.  AP 8:09.

I'm pretty sure through my internet study I have a sports hernia.  I hope I can just survive past Utah Valley and then probably just suck it up and go see a doctor.  I took it super easy this week and my body is still feeling pretty hammered.  I was hoping to run a long marathon pace run today, but got to listen to the old body.
