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.

Have the day off so waited a bit to head out running.  Wanted to get some hills in today.  Went from the house up into the trails, looped around then headed south up and around the hill before the stop sign then back home.  Didn't worry about pace just tried to keep it relaxed and enjoy the hills.  Legs are a little tired from the 22 miler on Sat. but not too bad.  Finished with 2 hill sprints and 2 sets of one-legged hops.  AP for the run 8:29

Woke up at 5 this morning to go run. Saw it storming outside and decided to run later. My right achilles was hurting towards the end of my run yesterday and felt tight the rest of the day. I started the run today and felt pain right away. Backed off the speed work plan and just jogged around the wood chips for 3 miles. I was hoping it would start to feel better but pretty much hurt the whole time. Not very happy about that, probably overuse and the hills yesterday. Hopefully it will go away soon.

2.5 miles with my 2 oldest to the park to watch my youngest's soccer game.  Ran home by myself, still some pain in my achilles tendon.  Just took it easy and tried not to aggravate anything.  On a positive note it did not hurt as much as yesterday so hopefully I will be all healed in a couple days.

Lunch:

Went with the guys from work to run around Liberty Park. Stayed in the wood chips the first lap AP 8:26. Didn't feel too bad on the achilles the first lap, 2nd lap 7:37 average. Jogged another .5 back in with the guys.  I really really want to run faster/longer but the achilles started hurting more the second lap.  I am still hopefull it will be better in time for Ogden, it has been feeling better everyday, and I ice stretch it as much as I can.  I will try to get a few more miles this afternoon. We'll see how it goes for this weekend.

PM:

Decided to get a few more miles in this afternoon.  1st mile 8:25, didn't feel too bad, 2nd mile 8:11 started to feel my achilles more this mile, I just kept hoping it would ease up, 3rd mile 8:57 pain not going away, last .5 9:33 pace, kept hurting more an more, ended up just walking the last bit back to the house.  I am trying to keep my spirits up but I am very discouraged right now.

Went to the gym this morning and spent an hour on the eliptical machine then a half hour on the bike.  Just trying to rest my foot some more, wish I had more time but I slept in and had to go let the kid's run in the Provo City Kid's Marathon.  As a parent I was dissapointed in the organization of the run.  It was very disorganized but it was for the kids and they did not seem to notice too much.  Spencer ended up winning so I was proud of him.  I ran with Trenton and he came in 5th.
