2009 First Dam Run - 41:37 Long-Term Running Goals: 1. Enjoy running 'til I drop dead - and put that off as long as possible.
2. Don't get burn out :-) Personal:
I herniated/ruptured a disk (L4/L5) in my back in December, 2005. I told my orthopedic surgeon I wanted to start running. He said "You'll never run again.". What a challenge! So...I started running.
Since then I've lost about 50 pounds, ran 13 marathons and a number of other races.
I am still a clydesdale runner (over 200 lbs), have a large frame, big bones, and not built like a runner at all. I'm not fast. I mostly run to have some time to myself and keep in shape.

| 9.1 miles at noon. 91 degrees. North Logan run around and up Green Canyon and back. First mile nice and slow, pacing someone who just started. Did the first mile in 9:00. Then I went on and ran another 8.1. When I start slow, I find it hard to speed up very much. Still ran a 7:57/mile overall AP in the heat. |

10 with Conner, up and down Smithfield Canyon (easy slow run for him, faster tempo run for me). Fun run-favorite running course.. 1st mile we gain a little, then lose about 150 feet. The next four up Smithfield Canyon we gained about 630 feet. Then back down the same way (lose 630 feet the next four, then gain 150 feet for the last mile). 7:20/mile AP. Afterwards, ran 8 miles with Claire. Same course but turned around a mile early for the 8. Ran a bit slower... Overall, averaged 7:44/mile for the entire 18. Good for the tough course. Got dehydrated... When I left, I weighed 208. After running the 10 with Conner, I drank about 16 oz. Then on the run with Claire, we stopped at 6.5 miles at a park, and I drank another 16 oz. Got home and weighed in at 200. So subtracting the 2 lbs I drank, I lost 10 pounds of sweat. Overall, good running today. Felt great!

| 20 miler in Smithfield, Smithfield Canyon. Ran 5 then caught up with the people running the Health Days Half Marathon going up and down Smithfield Canyon. I was going pretty slow but passing a ton of people on the way up. At the turn around for the Half, I just kept going for a ways. Then turned around. Past a lot of the same people again--freaked them out a little (that was fun). Then left the course coming out of the canyon and finished my 20. Last 4 were very slow--first 20 in a while. Fun easy run.
