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 for another solo adventure up in the mountains. First attempted to up Little Cottonwood however the snow went past my chest and I attempted to force my way up the trail for about 20 yards when I realized it was futile. I guess 48 inches of snow will do that. So plan B, I went to Draper and hiked/ran up Lone Peak from Corner Canyon.  So much better, snow was pretty much only about a foot and could actually move in it.  Went pretty far up the mountain and crossed a couple canyons then came back down.  Very pretty with the new snow.  I am guessing at least 6 but felt like 15.

Woke up early again and headed to just south of the mouth of Parley's Canyon and ran up into the mountains from there.  I really should look up the names of the mountains.  I have been looking at this ridge line from work for quite some time now.  Fairly to really steep on the way up.  Snow was only about a foot deep it was fun to run down.  No gps again so I am guessing about 4.5.  Saw a moose on the top.  Pretty views of the city lights on the way up.

Went up in the mountains again this morning.  Started in Draper at the Orsen Trailhead.  Went up Lone Peak via the trail of the eagle, got pretty dang far up the mountain.  About 3600 ft of elevation gain in 2.5 miles.  Looped around a big basin then bushwacked my way back down the mountain.  Started to get pretty muddy on the bottom third of the mountain and slushy snow higher up.  My legs feel pretty beat up this week even though it is a very low mileage week the just don't recover from all the climbing as much as running on the road.  Even though it is a low mileage week my weight is down from all the climbing and I am enjoying myself.
