 I ran for Utah State University for a few years from 1999-2002. I got a little burned out and took a break from running. Now 10 years later, I feel that there is still faster running left to accomplish. I started running again in mid-summer of 2012. I had a short spurt in 2009, but work got in the way.

We were in Logan this weekend so I got up at 5 during the thunderstorm drove to Huntsville to run up Monte Cristo to get some good fast downhill running on tired legs. It had stopped rainning by the time I got there. Drove up the canyon a few miles and found a place to park. I wanted to get in 18-19 mile with 2 weeks until the Mt. Charlston Marathon. I ran up the 9 miles and on my way up I saw over 2 dozen dear, 1 beaver, 1 black and while cat ( skunk and I stayed as far away as I could), and a moose. I got to nine miles and took a potty break and then started down. I didn't now how fast I was going to run down. Was thing about 10-15 sec faster than MP. My first mile was 5:38. I ran between 5:38-5:46 averaging 5:42 which is 23 sec/mile faster than goal MP in 2 weeks. The first 7.5 were not to bad, but I hit a pretty good headwind and it started to level off the last 1.5 miles. All in all I am very excited a with this run. Big confidence booster for my race in 2 weeks. All the down hill running/simulation that I have been doing will is paying off. I am writing this on Sunday moring before church and I am not even sore.

Now it is time to start a gradual taper after 4 weeks or 90+ miles/week with a lot of downhill running. I think this might very well be the marthon that I have a huge break through.
