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.

So, I had big plans to get out and run while it was cool out this morning. Headed out from the house bright and early and about a half mile into the run my tummy protested the smart idea to eat taco bell late last night as I came back into town. Turned around and walked/jogged back to the house. Reminder Taco Bell = No Bueno

Had to wait till the hottest part of the day to get the rest of the workout in. 7.5 miles around liberty park. Just stayed in the wood chips. Stopped after every lap and hydrated and cooled off in the fountain for about 20 seconds. I did 10 100 yard sprints sprinkled throughout the run. My calves were a bit tight the first couple laps then loosened up pretty good. Did I mention it was hot?

Nice run along the Jordan River Parkway in Lehi. Started at the iron bridge and headed south.  I really needed this run this morning.  Everything just clicked, good music, weather, and my body was feeling good.  I was supposed long run pace however, after the first mile kept cruising along 8:12,7:42,7:49,7:40,7:40,7:39,7:28,7:36,7:15,7:09,6:41  -  AP 7:32

We are going to California for the next 10 days.  I hope I can get in the mileage while on family vacation.  It will be interesting to run at sea level.  After growing up on the beach and being an avid surfer, I am excited to hit the water again.  Just like riding a bike right?

Visiting the wife's granparent's in Lompoc California this morning.  Went from their house this morning for a run.  Found some pretty fun trails to run on.  It was foggy and I didn't really know where I was so I didn't venture too far out.  Turned around at 7 and headed back to their house.  Glad I didn't get lost and found the way back to the house.  Perfect running weather.  AP 8:08

Hopefully I can make it out next week with Disney and all.
