AM - 12 miles. First 7 easy, then 3 mile tempo in 14:59 (gradual downhill towards Heber on 1200S), then 2 more easy. Sort of an unplanned faster segment... Felt pretty relaxed and not too hard, despite wearing my heavy shoes :-) Splits - 5:02, 5:03, 4:53. PM - 7.5 miles easy... my Mom biked along with me... very enjoyable conversation and the run flew by. We spent the day up at Mirror Lake and Trial Lake. I caught a fish on my very first cast and then got skunked for the next 5 hours! Fun time... although it was FREEZING up there! Always bring a down jacket to the Uintas if you are skinny. I introduced my family to the Maverik $1 adventure cones on the way back :-)

Always nice when you can just throw in an unplanned tempo. Nice work Jake!

Did you run the ironman in 2010? I swore I saw you in a TV special of the event a few nights ago.

I would say it was "semi unplanned" ... Sort of one of those "I'll do it if I'm feeling good" sort of things

I've never done a triathlon... I wonder who my twin is?

Do you have a Frozen Yogurt punch card at Maverick yet? If not you should get one...

Hey i'm up in provo this saturday and was wondering if you're back in town that day and availibe to run that morning around 6/6:30. i have a 14miler w/ 4-6 mile tempo so i could at least run half of your milage :)

From Jake K on Mon, Aug 20, 2012 at 19:25:53 from 97.126.131.66

Rachelle- yes, we have multiple cards now!

Mike- I'm running the TOU 1/2 in Logan this weekend. Otherwise I'd totally be down for that.

From Michael Finch on Mon, Aug 20, 2012 at 19:38:09 from 75.169.208.31

oh alright! good luck with that, i wish i could go watch that.

Catching a fish on your first cast is a a lot like running a race...if you're feeling REALLY good at the start it's a sure sign that it's going to be a crappy day.

I though Maverik was adventure's first stop, not the final stop...

Awesome that you're able to get out and run in some fantastic places while vacationing. I'm always too lazy on vaction. Best of luck this weekend!

From Jake K on Tue, Aug 21, 2012 at 11:00:54 from 97.126.131.66

Very, very true Kendall! My dad and uncle started off slower, but caught about a dozen each. Sit and kick!

Vacation is always my favorite time to run... Fun to explore new places, even if they are kinda close to home. I figure when I'm gonna be lazy, I might as well be lazy at home :-)

And you ARE skinny as your bowling pic shows. Every muscle is strained for that 10# ball. . . :P

From Jake K on Thu, Aug 23, 2012 at 08:11:08 from 155.100.226.191

12 pound ball! I can't fit my fingers inside the 10 pounder!
