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.

Planned on going for a nice recovery run around the neighborhood.  I shouldn't have read some blog entries earlier today because I was inspired and my legs felt good so I pushed it some.  I think I am almost over my cold, and am excited to get training again.  Miles were as follows 7:21,7:17,7:45,7:29,7:31,7:12, last .2 6:35  45:45total for 6.2 AP7:24.  There are a lot of hills were I live and tried to push it up the hills and coast the rest of the time.  This time last year this run would have killed me, I felt in control the whole run and tried to enjoy it.

Due to work, my niece's concert, and my wife going to her zumba class till 10 PM.  I did not make it on a run tonight, however it is probably a good thing as I am almost over my cold and everytime I run lately I cough up a lung afterwards.  I did do some stablilty exercised, planks, pushups, pull-ups, sit ups, and dumbell excercise.

I got to run with my older brother who is staying with us today.  I have not ran with my brother in probably 20 years. 3 easy miles in our neighborhood.

Nice run this morning with Chet.  I was worried with all the wind and snow last night.  We ran on the JRP, started at the iron bridge and headed north.  8 miles total. 8:14 AP.  The trail wasn't too bad, somewhat icy in parts, the roads in our neighborhood are covered in ice and snow.  Run felt nice and easy, I might try to talk the wife into running a couple miles with me this afternoon.  I got my first pair of running pants/tights yesterday.  I must admit they were pretty nice to run in today, sure beat by old sweat pants, and I got them for a smoking deal.  Now I need to get a windbreaker style jacket/ shell and I should be almost covered for winter running.  Anyone have any suggestions on which jacket to buy?

Ran with Laurel and extra 3 miles around the neighborhood, what a difference a couple hours make.  Sun was out, the roads were dry, it was great to be out.  The wife is getting a bit faster, it is nice to see her progress.
