Gotta keep this up in spite of the fact that it has really stunk lately.

The boy has opted to move out so I can set up the treadmill in his room. Bittersweet. Kids should stay kids and not leave their father to live alone.

Silly Corban! I agree kids should stay kids and not grow up and out of the nest so fast!

Keep running! :)

2 miles in 20 minutes on the treadmill. Brought it out of cold storage--finally. I think I got it going pretty good only to have me quit at mile 2. I remember why I stopped running in glasses and moved to contacts. I'd love to do the Lasik thing. I'll do better tomorrow for time and distance, I promise.

Good job.

A few weeks ago I quit wearing my Garmin because I was getting so frustrated always seeing such a slow pace. It's been kind of nice not worrying about it.

With only two miles remaining, the pink glow finally faded from Timpanogos and I felt a bit blue as I rolled into the house. Still, I was glad I went outside rather than hopping on the treadmill.

Should have gone out an hour or two earlier and I shouldn't have had the two slices of pepperoni, jalapeƱo, and tomato pizza 30 minutes before heading out. But then the semi-crashing at the end could have been because I played church ball this morning. Which may also explain why my elbow hurts...

No pink Timp today--beautifully clear skies, baby!

Nice doubles! :).

Is Buffalo Run in your schedule this year?

From Maynard on Tue, Feb 26, 2013 at 23:38:45 from 71.195.241.75

In answer to both of you: Yes, the Buffalo Run 50K (possibly dropping to the 25K).

How goes the battle?

From Maynard on Tue, Apr 02, 2013 at 08:57:26 from 159.212.71.17

It goes.

I've had to shut off the internet at home and have only limited access here at work--not enough to regularly post my activities.

From DaleG on Thu, May 09, 2013 at 23:06:15 from 152.216.11.5

Time flies. I thought it had only been a couple of weeks since this last post.

How the heck are ya? I hope everything is going well.

From Maynard on Fri, May 10, 2013 at 18:02:39 from 159.212.71.25

Dale: Everything is going about as well as I could expect it to. Got the season's first sunburn last weekend.

While running.

Running a 5k tomorrow and then the OM next week. Yay!

From DaleG on Fri, May 10, 2013 at 18:13:50 from 152.216.11.5

Is that a sarchastic yay? Haha.

I'm glad everything is going as well as you expect...That could be either good or bad. Hehe.

Sounds like just about everyone got into Ogden, except me and my wife. Can you tell I'm bitter? I guess they need to fill the hotel rooms. Perhaps we will come watch at the finish line.

From DaleG on Fri, May 10, 2013 at 18:35:24 from 152.216.11.5

Oh...good luck at the 5k

This never happens--so the fact that it did meant I had to find an internet connection and report about it.

The Race For Red is a 5k (and a 1 mile fun run) put on by Intermountain Healthcare/Utah Valley Regional Medical Center's Heart and Vascular Services to promote a heart-healthy lifestyle. It's a fun little race.

I had rolled my ankle earlier in the week on a trail run and the joint and muscle soreness from that stuck with me through Friday. I figured the 5k would end up being an easy, fun run with a finish line.

The jog over to the start, however, was discomfort-free so I figured I might as well 'rub some funk on it,' as it were...

3 miles at a pretty consistent 7:41/7:42 and a faster final .1 put me at a 7:39 average pace--at least that's what the Garmin said. RunnerCard officially gave me an average pace of 7:43.

But the important part to all of this is that in my age division, I was the fastest! Today, I reign supreme!!! 2nd place in the division was 5 minutes slower.

WaHOOOO!!!! CONGRATULATIONS on the AG win!!! Yah, baby, you reigned supreme, hands down!!! :) :) :)

My bro-in-law from Hong Kong happened to be in town, so he ran it with his son who's going to BYU. I don't know his time and he left that afternoon for his flight to NYC.

Anyhow, wow! you did awesome!!! hope I see you at Ogden! :)

From Maynard on Mon, May 13, 2013 at 10:50:22 from 70.103.189.14

So are you running Ogden then, Smooth? For dome reason I thought Boston was your last before heading out to the mission field... I will definitely be looking for you.

From DaleG on Mon, May 13, 2013 at 19:09:55 from 152.216.11.5

Dang!!! Congratulations on the AG win. Very cool, indeed.

From Toby on Sat, May 18, 2013 at 21:31:50 from 199.101.229.6

Thanks for the moral support today! It was so nice to have a buddy during those last few miles! Recover well!

Finished stronger than I should have. Happy with the results. Started out loving the rain. Ended up cursing the stuff. Never got cold until after the finish. I owe Toby a whole heck-of-a-lot for helping me get going down Ogden Canyon.

Nice finish at Ogden. I was there but I seemed to have missed you at the end. Congrats. Is ST George '13 next?

From Tom Slick on Thu, Jan 02, 2014 at 09:50:18 from 69.171.160.117

Happy New Year Mr. Maynard, what's up?

From Tom Slick on Sat, Jan 18, 2014 at 09:03:14 from 69.171.160.113

Hello Maynard - What's goin' on?

From fly on the Wall on Thu, Feb 20, 2014 at 15:32:32 from 168.180.63.241

r u signed up for Ogden 2014?

From Maynard on Thu, Feb 20, 2014 at 15:39:35 from 199.190.170.28

I am.

Hey everybody! I haven't been here in like, well, forever!

From fly on the Wall on Thu, Feb 20, 2014 at 15:55:12 from 168.180.63.241

Excellent! I'll be running it vicariously through you.

Are you training for Ogden 2014?

From Smooth on Mon, Jun 16, 2014 at 20:17:48 from 71.219.8.35

How was Ogden 2014???? I was sad I didn't see you!

From Smooth on Thu, Sep 18, 2014 at 15:51:06 from 71.219.156.153

Are you running TOU this year? SGM?

From Maynard on Thu, Sep 18, 2014 at 15:55:15 from 199.190.170.29

Smooth! Ogden 2014 was a struggle.

No TOU, but I will be down at St. George.

What are your running plans this fall?

I haven't been out here on the Fast Running Blog in the better part of forever!

From Smooth on Thu, Sep 18, 2014 at 16:25:59 from 71.219.156.153

I'm running TOU then SGM! I don't have a BQ for 2015 so hoping for 2016...good chance getting it in SGM. I'll be 60 for Boston 2016, that means 15 extra min. :)

Hope I run into you at SGM! Sure miss you, my good buddy! :)

From Maynard on Thu, Sep 18, 2014 at 17:18:24 from 107.188.129.56

I will definitely keep my eyes peeled for you down in St. Geezy!

Good luck up in Logan this weekend! Can't wait to hear about it.

From Tom Slick on Fri, Mar 13, 2020 at 11:57:24 from 174.148.160.50

Hey Maynard, what's up? Are you doing any organized races anymore?
