This is always a great race to run in January! I have never run a race in my life more sick than I was today. I coughed the entire night and was very congested with a sinus infection. I started the race at a very comfortable pace. I was right behind Steve Olson and hit a 5:43 first mile and then all hell broke loose with my pace and breathing and even my legs felt heavy and I was really hot! I had short shorts on and a singlet so I knew I was in trouble I tried to keep under a 6 and it wasnt happening I think Steve Hooper and Craig Green and a few others passed me at mile 3 as we started up the hill and I was spent. I felt like I would at the end of a marathon. I just kept pushing myself as much as I could and ran this race. I was around a 6:15 pace most the time which im not complaining about. Ive have learned to run according to what my body allows lately and I felt good about my performance. I cant be ashamed of it. I really enjoy coming here and other places to run a winter race. So awesome. It was so cool to see and hang out with the team and see their awesome performances. Way to go St. George Running Center! They do a great job down here. You guys are so lucky to have great weather.
My friend sent me a text message on my drive home from St. George that I thought would go well with my run down there. Its Mosiah 4:27--For it is not requisite that a man should run faster than he has strength... Very fitting!

| I ran up to Danielles house and she was supposed to meet me but her meeting at work went long and I didnt have my phone. I made a loop and made it home with a 6 mile run. I checked my phone when I was home and she was waiting for me at her house so I ran back up there and then did a 6 mile loop and back home. I did about 7 alone and 6.5 with her. |

| I did a 1/3 mile warmup and ran a mile with my daughter sarah timed as she has to hit 6:30 to be on Binghams track team. I had my watch beep every tenth of a mile and figured we had to hit 39 seconds per tenth. We did pretty good for the first .4 mile and then she slowed way down. We had a head wind which didnt help so I told her to run right behind me. We ended up hitting a 7:10 mile which I thought was ok. We shouldve warmed up more and went in the head wind at the start and im sure we wouldve snagged a good 20 seconds off. I then went down to the Park Trail starting at 98th and ran south. I made it about a mile past 126th south and turned around back. I had a head wind the whole way out. after a mile of tail wind the freakin wind shifted and hit me head on the rest of the way back. I ran the 11 miles in 1:14. |

Ran with the BBK group for the first time in a while. Was only able to do two 3.5 mile loops.
Ran at the oval tonight and met up with Dennis Simonitis and Neal Gassman who are the fastest Masters right now and a force to be reconend with. I did 10x 400's with them. We started with a 75 and then did 2 74's and then 3 73's 2-72's and a 71 and my last was barely a 70. I felt like I was falling apart so I stopped at 10 and they continued to do 15x400's. We Jogged in between each lap to give me 20 laps plus a 1.5 mile warmup and a 1.5 mile cool down. It was nice talking to both those amazing runners. when I wasnt panting that is.

Ran with Danielle this morning and met half way to Day Break and came down and over to 98th down to 2700 west and over to 104th south then up and around the neighborhood. It was nice, no wind and felt a lot warmer.
I ran 10 miles in a freakin blizzard this afternoon in 1:09. I actually liked running in the slush because it felt soft but my shoes felt like they had mud on them. Maybe I can count this as a workout as well.

I then did 2 more 800s with a 2:39 and a 2:38. I so need to run with these guys more! I could clearly see my times slow when I was by myself. I need to get used to running hard and being pushed. It feels good! |

It was bitter cold this morning and pretty windy. I started out more conservative than last year but the tail wind and slight downhill gave me a push. There are some nasty steep pieces of hill in this race one right after mile 3 and one at 7 and one at 10. I had an extremely tough time with the wind. It was slowing me to a 6:15 pace. Once I had the tail wind to my back I felt better. Mile 11 was my gut check though. I had a hard time from there on as my legs tightened up. I pushed as hard as I could to get it done though. I had a runner trailing me and I noticed he gained on me on the up hill stretches and wind which made me nervous. It was a good check on my progress for the year which im a bit behind but I will try getting back to it hard. I have some issues with my periformis that got worked on after the race and I wished I had more time because it felt good and then when he was done, it tightened back up. I saw a lot of friends and family at the race and its put on very well by Lisa Dudley and Riverton City. They gave out a really cool wagon wheel trophy that is massive! I love it though. I also got a money gift card for first. The course is a good gut check for those that arent used to any downhill.

I ran by myself this morning. I misread the text I got from Danielle last night that she was meeting me at the lake. I ran up to her house and it was dark so I kept going and the whole time she was waiting for me. I ended up running to the lake and then over to 118th south and a loop in Midas Creek subdivision and then back down and over. 100 chilly miles. Ok so that was my attempt to a very good April fools joke. Who wouldnt think I ran 100 miles today right?

| I went and parked in the parking lot next to the zoo and did a 6 mile easy run on the Des news course from mile 16 to 20 and back up to the parking lot. I noticed some cones and saw they were running a 10 mile race. I ran with the Runamok runners up Emmigration canyon 8 miles where I saw the first place runner coming down. I then saw a few runners and then I saw Allie. I hurried and grabbed a drink and then told the runamoks I was going to try and run a race pace with them. I took off and it was fun, I was running a 5:05 first mile and still hadnt caught Allie. I got to their mile 3 and saw her and Chad. It took another half mile to catch them. I ran with Allie and Chad for the rest of their race. At about mile 6 I believe it was, Allie started pushing the pace or maybe it was me and I didnt realize it. She was really bookin' man! She has got some talent I will tell you! We passed a few runners and I could see the cop with his flashing lights and the overall runner was fading a bit. We were catching him but never got him. Ill bet if we had 3 more miles Allie would have won that race! I think she took 3rd overall and commanding 1st for women! Way to go Allie! Hope to see you at SLC half. I had a great 8 mile race paced tempo run onto my long run of 6 rolling, 8 uphill, and 8 downhill. Very fun to do that!

| I met up with Danielle and ran a very very very soggy 12 miles. We were going to go to the Oval and try 8 more but my give a damn was busted. I was wet and miserable. so 12 it is. I did run my last mile in 5:35 though so it was more or less a run for the bathtub. |

| I got to the start and met up with Clyde and did a bit of a warmup with him and then Steve joined us. It was warmer today thank goodness. I saw all the fasties at the starting line and met a few that I havnt met in person before. I saw Rachel C. (my secret weapon) and could see she was a bit nervous but so are all of us secretly or not. I joked around with Craig Green when he asked me what my first mile was going to be. I said 4:50. But I actually wasn't far off I hit a 5 even and Rob was next to me when I got to mile 1 and I said woopsie! I had to much adrenaline going. I could see Steve ahead of me about 200 feet and I kept him at that distance to mile 4 where we have our first little uphill where we turn and see eveyone behind us. I was excited to see Clyde and cheered him on then I started seeing eveyone and I was cheering for them and when I looked in front of me Steve was right there. He later told me I psyched him out a bit by yelling at eveyone. I saw him surge after the uphill and just tried not go let him gap me too much. I passed Fritz at mile 8 on a downhill part and then immediately had my hip lock up on me. I kept pushing at tried not to think of the pain. I kept getting close to Steve then he would surge. I finally got to striking distance on the last hill stretch but as it went downhill he freaking came alive! I pushed as hard as I could but he held me off. It was great weather today. My ideal running conditions. It was my last race as a young 39 year old as I turn 40 on Monday. Maters here I come! |

| Today I ran 40 Miles for my 40th Birthday present to myself. Im sadistic I know! I started at 10 pm and ran 26.24 miles in 3:29. It was really great weather about 50 degrees and no wind at all. Very quiet and peaceful. I tried to think about my life and every mile try to remember something that happened to me in my years growing up. Miles 1-6 I was in Ohio, 7-14 I was in Coeurdalene Idaho. Then 15-19 I was in Utah. 19-21 Munich Germany. Then 22 till now growing up in Utah. I had fun with this and actually caught myself laughing at some of the stupid things I did in my life, especially in my teen years. I finished my 26.24 mile run at 1:45 am this morning. I went to sleep and woke up to a rain storm. Ugh! I ran my last 13.76 miles in the dreaded rain. I thought about how far 40 miles is. I can pretty much guarantee I ran by everyones houses today that is in the Southern Salt Lake area. Herriman, Bluffdale, Riverton, Draper, and South Jordan, Daybreak area, and a little bit in West Jordan. This is something that was in the making for some time and luckily I didnt have to wait till I was too old to run! haha Im proud to see my accomplishment in my life from being paralyzed 18 years ago to being able to do this! I ran the entire 40 miles in 5 hours and 11 minutes. |

I had a PT appointment last night at 4:30 and he did the Graston Technique on my achilles and it was a miracle im telling you right now! I could instantly walk up and down stairs afterwards. I went to the race with the mindset to not run hard, in fact the doc told me to rest and I thought id be alright running slow. So I paced a really good friend of mine Amy Fromm who was wanting to run a 1:50 but had strep and a sinus infection and even pink eye from the past week so I new it was possible but not on this course, it is very rugged! In fact I talked to Seth Wold after the race and he said the steep up hill parts he actually got to a walking pace. Amy and I were definitely walking up these parts. It is very scenic and you see Waterfalls and run through tullips and flowers and wow it is really breathtaking. Something I probably wouldnt notice as much trying to belt out a fast time. Amy did so well Im proud of her. She is the type of friend that makes you laugh and smile when your around her. Im trying to get her on this so she can keep track of her miles. The course is a very windy and curvy and hilly and turns at least 60 times in the race. Im not exaggerating either. I give props to the winner of the race who did a 1:11 I think. I probably wouldve been in a 1:14ish time im guessing. Courses like this really kick my butt. I had fun taking it easy and pushing Amy though. I could tell she wanted to walk and I wouldnt let her. I hope she talks to me again. haha I made her sprint the last stretch to beat 2:08. She did so Im proud of that.

| got the ok from my doc to run so I helped Carina to a PR on the Lehi 5k. I did about a 4 mile warmup with her and then some striders. The race was warm and we started out pretty fast and there were about 6 high school boys ahead. We got in the 3rd position right behind the 2 leaders. I saw them fade a bit before the second mile and then it went downhill and they pushed the pace more. Carina did great and I was really pushing her to under a 20 time and she nailed it! Great job! It feels good to help out while I'm on my down time and get a race under my belt at the same time. I really live to race. |

It was a seriously fun race and I would recommend it to everyone! We took 2nd overall in the mixed division and had a blast. We got a back pack and water bottles and a gift certificate to the juice bar. I ran with ProBar who graciously let me run on their team. |

I went up behind the Capital after work and started at the base of the canyon and ran up it 3.5 miles and about 1000' of elevation. Then as I turned around I saw a lady biking up the road and was swerving all over. She got up to me and was mumbling and incoherent but was pointing to the side of the road in the bushes so I thought maybe it was a Mountain lion or something. As I was looking to the right and running down the road I heard a hissing noise and looked down and right as my foot hit the road I was about 2' away from a rattler. He didnt coil up but I froze and backed away and around him. I have encountered enough of these pesky snakes. Im sick of these damn snakes on this damn trail. I really hate snakes, I cringe and get the body shivers. |

I got another invite to run with Carinas group. I must have minded my p's and q's enough to be able to do it. lol They met at Thanksgiving Point and we ran from the parking lot on the similar course as the half marathon. we went out to the Gardens and came to a dead end and then came back and found a road to the park trail and ran the rest on it and on the way back jumped the fence by the golf course and back to the parking lot. Very fun. Carina reminded me of my comment to her that i would like to run 1 to 2 miles of tempo and didnt do it so on the way home it festered in my head till I decided to just do it. I went to the Daybreak lake and while I was getting out of the car, Danielle bumped into me! She was on mile 2 of 10 and asked if Id run with her so I ended up doing 8 more miles with her. A total of 17. Fun day, nice and freakin warm. The way W likes it!

Ran up behind the Capitol after work. Started at the bottom of the canyon and went to the top which is exactly 5.66 miles from the gate. My stupid left achilles started bugging me! ugh neverending. I iced it and am resting from a long day.Oh I ran into another snake. Thats two for two SNAKEYES! Am i lucky or what? If anyone wants to see a snake come run with me after 2 pm in City Creek. There are a lot!

So I came back from the doc. and he said I looked ok but not to push it in the half. He said to run 70% if I do which would be impossible unless someone ties a rope from me to the 7 minute pace group. So here is what I decided. I am going to pace Carina to a 3:15 marathon time and all those that want to shoot for that time can join in! This will help my training for the World Championships that Im preparing for. So let it be written, so let it be done.

This is my fastest marathon this year that Carina helped pace me in. I have no report that I could write that would take away from her report so go look her up and congratulate her!
It was good to see friends and foes, I think thats a good word. But if it isnt then its those that dislike me and jimmy crack corn...
I am amazed at how when I run with different people I learn so much! I would not have thought we wouldve pulled off a 3:15 with a half marthon time close to 1:41. Carina showed me different! Good job girly!
Oh, I have to tell this quick story! I met a guy who had crocs on at the porta potti line and I asked him if he was going to run in them and told the story of Sasha running this race last year and doing a good time. He laughed and assured me no and he opened up his running bag and was getting ready for the shoe switch when...no shoes! He looked up with a sick look and said, "yep! Im running in Crocs!" I saw him at the finish and Carina and I asked him how he did and he laughed. He made it though. |

First run after the marathon. I felt really good starting out. I made it 1.5 miles and had and it was like my enemy had a voodoo doll and poked my left achilles while I was going up. It was just short and sharp. I kept going with less push off and shortened my 10 miler to a 6. im icing it now.

| I had a good 2 day break but ended up working my arse off with concrete projects in Lehi. Just money I guess. I ran this morning with Danielle who most of you still dont know. I meant to take a pic of her so I could post it so you guys dont think im making her up so I have an excuse to do a nice slower pace. We started at her house in Daybreak and went up and around the Lake and caught up with our busy lives. I havnt run with her for weeks because she is a morning person. I have to go to work early now so Ive been an afternoon runner. It was 50 degrees this morning. Brrr. Im going to do the 25th station at ragnar helping them out so if your running today come see me and say hi!

I ran up to Herriman high school which is 4 miles from my house. I did a warmup run with a little push. I hit 27:38 for the 4. Then I did 3 mile tempo coming down from the school to my house. I did a 5:29, 5:40, 5:38. Then a mile cool down but believe me I didnt cool down it was freakin hot out! Probably about 90 so it was pushed. I got my team USA uniform today and wore it on my run and boy does it attract the sun. Its the 2008 Olympic singlet and short shorts. When I say short, I mean I havnt had shorts this short even in H.S. Oh well, at least the race starts at 5 am so no one can see me till i come in. Im getting nervous now! sheesh less than a month.

Wow, A PR! Finally got my half marathon PR this year with all the drama to my achilles and trying to gear up for the World Masters Championship marathon in July. I feel great about my new best time and had a very well organized and scenic scenic scenic race! I tell you there is nothing better than to run next to a river. So fun! I made my way up to the start on the buses with Carina and Cheryl. Cheryl is a cancer survivor which I didnt know because this race was very big into cancer. Hopefully they raised a lot to help out the cause. I got to the top and had just enough time to do the potti break, chat a little bit with Carina and Cheryl and then do a little filming for a documentary that Tracey and his Wife are helping me film. Its always good to get a perspective of the starting line and how nervous everyone is! So cool! The race started and immediately Brian Summers and I took a lead. Very steep the first part going out to the canyon road. Right after the 1 mile mark which we hit in 4:54 there was some serious water running across the road. It was like a river I backed off and let Brian go through it first and then I attemted to jump it but landed in it. about 2-5" deep. So the next few miles we got to run with some sloshy shoes but it dried quickly mile 2 was 5:22 but still downhill but I think we were having a hard time breathing at the altitude mile 3 we hit 5:19 and I knew I could get closer to 5's so I started to push the pace. Brian was right with me just past 3 and when I pushed I couldnt hear him anymore so I started worrying about going to soon. 4 was a 5:03 and I felt better about that time. I figured then that I was feeling good and my breathing was right so i let it loose. mile 5 was 4:51. 6 was 4:53 and 7 was 5:05. 8 I hit 5:14 and could start to see the bottom of the canyon a bit now. 9 was 5:35. I hit a trail off from the road and I was reminded of the St. George Half trail where it has little ups and turns to throw your momentum off. 10 was 5:32 and 11 I did a 5:49. I started feeling sluggish and depressed then and had a bit of a hill to go up after being used to all the downhill. Mile 12 was flat and I hit a 5:35. I was excited when I got to 12.5 with a time of 1:07, I wanted to break 1:10 so I tried my best and pushed hard but the course came up long for me 13.26 is what I read at the finish with my Garmin 310xt. It was great temps up there and lots of shade throughout. I laughed at the finish when I saw Carina because she PR'd as well and was doing some retro dance moves I hadnt seen since high school! Great way to celebrate a PR for sure! A special thanks to the race director for a very very good race! Its hard to be this good when you are starting these events! Also for Tracey Lee for going out of his way to get to the start so early on a Saturday to do some fliming! 
Oh by the way, my prize was a trip for 2 to Zermatt Resort in Midway. It comes with Dinner, and 2 massages. Fun fun race!

| Son of a B it was hot today! I decided to run before I had scouts tonight because I dont sleep very well when I run at night. Plus since I get up at 4 am now to be to work at 5 it is impossible to get a run in unless I do it when I get home at 2. So i ran from my house down to the park trail and made it to mile 6 and the wind was brutal. So I turned around and it was great but so hot! I got a drink at mile 8 and then 10. I stopped at a maverick which required a key to turn on the spicket outside. I asked politely and he told me no. I said dude come on, Im not going to run away with the key I cant make it home without water. So he gave me the key and I took a freakin bath dang near on the lawn with their hose. lol To to hot! |

I went up to daybreak and ran with Misty and Sarah and Carina came up to run with us too! I did one loop (3.3 miles) with Sarah and Carina and then the second loop Carina and I did more tempo and then we did the last loop minus a mile. I ran the last mile by myself to get 10.

| Went up with Misty and the kids and met Carina at Daybreak for a nice easy jog. We ended up hitting a 7:30 ish pace which works for me. Good friends, good lake, and run! (I stole that from Training Table logo then tweaked it a bit).

| I ran up to Herriman High while Misty drove to the Daybreak lake and ran around it while I went up and came back with a 1 mile tempo run in some pretty humid and hot weather. I hit a 5:24 so It felt good. the other miles I was in the low 7's Good pre race stinger to the legs. Carina sent me this Tribune article of me and I didnt even know it was out.  http://m.sltrib.com/sltrib/mobile/52169581-77/brown-car-running-run.html.csp Of course it wont let me paste it on here because this site desperately needs to be updated. But thats it.

| I went and ran with the CBK group in Lehi. Carinas Butt Kickers. lol So I felt like I could handle a nice easy run with them but Carina and Becky were pushing it so I stayed with them. Carina held back with me as I think she felt bad for me going slow. |

| It was cool in the morning about 58 degrees. I did a warmup but immediately started sweating. Yuck. I lined up and the race started very very slow! I am not used to that but I didnt want to charge so I stayed back to mile 1 to see what our times would be. 6:15! Holy crap way to slow. so I sped up and got right up to the main pack and they were running a 5:40 pace which felt comfortable. I stayed just behind the 3 guys in front within a hundred feet by myself. No one was really close behind so I felt good. I did my first loop which hit mile 7 still behind and saw my family for the second time and felt pretty good. there were some sharp steep up hill pieces which I felt ok on the first 3 loops. My second loop put me right about mile 12 and I still sat right behind the leaders. The third loop I couldnt find my drink that I put on the drink table and it bugged me but found it later down a few miles at the next station. They didnt label the stations from 1-5 like the boxes at the expo that I put them in. On a sharp turn I saw a runner from Columbia about 200 meters behind me about mile 15. By the start of the 4th loop he was up to me. I wasnt fading at all and staying at a 5:45 pace. I saw my family again and as the Columbian got next to me he passed me with a surge and I wasnt about to push my pace. I hit mile 16 and he was only 15 feet in front of me. He was waving me on to get next to him so I did. I really dont like doing this because I concentrate on them more than myself but I did it. We got to mile 18 and I heard another runner approach us. It was an Italian that I knew had posted a 2:27 time so he had a good strategy to set behind us and then go. I let him go as well as the Columbian. When I hit mile 19 there was a sharp up and the Columbian surged up it and that was it. I couldnt seam to go. I felt stomach acid big time and was afraid of puking on the bridge but I held it in until a porta potti. I jumped in it and let it all go. I should have done it in the grass because it was an unpleasant sight. I got back out and felt ok but it only lasted a quarter mile. I really slowed down and couldnt get into a groove. 6:45, 7:15, 7:45 then started hitting 8's and 8:45's. I was so depressed, I couldnt seem to get moving no matter what! My legs werent really cramped up but my head felt like I had the flu. super hot. I kept slashing water on me and doing everything. I actually stopped at the stations and tried drinking more fluids. Nothing could help and I was just going to have to survive. Several people passed me in the last 7 or so miles and would cheer me on but it only depressed me more. Im mad that things didnt go my way but I really enjoyed the atmosphere of fans yelling GO USA! Such a cool feeling I have to tell you! It was fun to cheer on the 70 year old runners as well. There was a 65 year old that passed me and he looked absolutely awesome! I have a lot of wouldve shouldve couldves in this race but am glad I competed.

| Met up with Kim Dion's running group of about 16 people. We Started up in the mountains somewhere an hour and a half drive from Calrsbad. It started at about 6000' and we ran Extreme trail mostly down for 8 miles and all up on the way back. It was some serious climbing! We walked a lot! to hard to run.I could still feel my legs from the marathon but it was a good arse kicking. I stayed close to Kim so no weirdos bugged us. lol We got to mile 15 with a mile left and ran smack dab into a bee swarm. Thousands of them! I went about 50' into them and had to turn around. They were attacking my sunglasses. Luckily one of the group had his vehicle on a road near there everyone opted to jump into his suv and ride back to the start. One of the runners got lost for an hour or so but was found and we had a good solid run. |

| I took Bailey, my 9 year old out to Horse Vaulting in Saratoga springs and then snuck off to the river trail and ran 4 quick miles with Misty and Sarah and met Carina also. It was pretty grueling to get going but im glad I did it. My legs have been punished. I was on my way home when my sis in law from Hamilton Montana called and told me she was down for the week and wanted to run so I met her up at the Daybreak lake and did another 6. Good to get 10 in. Thank you Carina, Misty and Sarah. And thank you Heidi. Get my butt at it again. |

I met up with Carina and Misty and Cheryl and Sarah, and Heather and we went to the base of American Fork canyon and waited for the half marathon runners to come out. Carina and I decided after we heard they started late to run to the finish and then come back and help other runners in. We saw James (Fiddy) from the blog and he was doing the same so he ran with Carina and I for a few miles and then turned around for Allie. I liked the last few miles on this course better than the American Fork half. But it was a muggier day today then when I ran in June. I loved both courses though. I saw Kelli when I got to the finish and it didnt register to me that there was a marathon going the same time. I thought she was doing a run like we were. I watched Justin (the winner) come in and then Jeremy and Rob crush a 1:15! Nice job! I then went back to the course and helped Esther in and then went back for Amy but couldnt find her. I ended up with 11.3 miles and had fun!

Ran at Willow park with Misty, Sarah and Lily. Lily and I did 2.5 out and made it back about 1.5 with a tempo and then finished the rest off. Very Hot! I may run another 4 if I can digest my dinner in time.
I ate dinner (chili) and waited till 8:40 to run and figured it was long enough wait to digest my food. I went up to the lake and did 5.66 more miles to make it an even 12. I made it to mile 10 when I thought I was going to throw up! that chili was a brewin! I made it home with some short slow strides.

| I really cant wait for my new job to begin so I can run in the morning again! I dread these heat killing runs! I took a water bottle with me this time which I dread but I found myself having to drink every mile from my house going up to Butterfield Canyon. It was around 7 minutes every mile going up. I walked to drink and ended up drinking the whole bottle by mile 7. It was a monument of a family that settled in Herriman just off 130th. I saw a boy playing soccer in his front yard and had him fill my bottle up with water for the run home. I stopped every mile to drink and kept running down this time and was getting close to 6:40 pace. When I hit mile 11 I decided to try and get under 6 minutes for the next 2 miles. I hit 5:59 and 5:32. I had to walk by this point as I was thrashed. I have a hard time running with something in my hands. It definitely slows me down. I jogged the last mile home and ran in 1:39. |

I ran right when I got home because I had a dinner date. I went right when the weather was full sunlight. It sucked so I cut it down to 10. I was spent but glad I did it.

| I ran from my house and did a 20 mile run today 10 was up to Butterfield Canyon and there was a bike race going on that started at Herriman High School. I carried water for 7.5 miles and then ditched it and kept going to mile 10 which was .25 miles up the Canyon thank goodness. I hit 5500' Elevation. Then it was a nice all down hill drop from there to 4400' at my house. I shouldve left earlier cause it got hot. Saw my neighbor Telisa and ran and talked with her a bit. Then tried to hit under 6 minute pace the last few miles but wasnt happening. Finally a good mileage week for me without issues. |

| Went to the base of Butterfield and did 5 up and 5 down. Started at the base at 5400' Elevation. Mile 5 was at 7030'! What a climb! The first few miles coming down were so steep i had to force myself to run slower but still hit 5:30's my 5 coming down were 5:47, 5:33, 5:30, 5:27,and 4:58. The last mile had some good drops but let me get in a rythm like American Fork Canyon Half was. Good Workout. Oh I suppose you want to see my uphill times? ok 8:01, 8, 8:25, 8:54, 9:50. |

| ran 14 miles late this evening. Ran up to Daybreak and picked up Danielle, who I havnt been able to run with for months because of my work schedule. She is doing SGM and TOU half as well. We ran a loop around the lake plus a few to put me at 8. Then I went from her house back around the lake and made my way to Telisa and Mikes house who is helping me sell a 2006 VW Passat. I drove it the .25 miles home and then had to finish the .25 to make my 14.

| Met with the famous BBK runners this morning at 5:15 and did a 3 mile warm up. Then another mile on the track with 4x100 sprints and then did 4x800s. 2:26, 2:32,2:35,2:32. Then had to go to work. I could tell I was excited to do these 800s from my first one. I hope to be able to bust out a 2:26 marathon! Sweet! As per Yassos method. But I could see my average for 4 is 2:31. So Ive got more work to do. Fun to see those Butt Kickers! Its been a while!
Went to Liberty park and did 8 more miles. 1.5 warmup then 2x800s (2:32, 2:36) then did progressive running afterwards. I did my 3rd loop in 7:50 and my 5th loop in 6:34 pace. Very hot out but glad I got it in. Tons of runners in the park today! And the water fountain saved my butt!

Met with the BBK's and ran 3 easy with a few of them and then did a tempo workout. I did a 4 mile tempo with the following splits: 5:34, 5:40,5:47, 5:42. I love running in the morning! I wished I could do these splits in the evening without trouble. Oh by the way...I saw a huge Crawdad along the river on the asphault. It was a baby lobster! about 6" long. A real beauty! (he says in his Steve Irwin voice)
I went on my lunch break to Liberty Park and did 4 loops to hit 6 miles total in 41 minutes. |

Met up with Danielle early this morning for a run around Daybreak and my neighborhood. She just got back from her coast trip which we took a month ago. Similar to what we did. Fun stuff! Ran during my lunch break at Liberty Park. I did 4 loops on the wood chips and then made up the extra to make 6.5. I ran into Dane Raushenberg and chatted with him a bit. He is the guy that ran 52 marathon in 52 weeks.

I ran from my house up to Danielles and immediately ran into deer on my street! One was a buck. I couldnt believe it. They didnt move for me either. Just sat there and watched me run by them. I went up around the Daybreak Lake and back down to my house to make 6.5.

| Ok I made it home finally. I went up to the race start with my wife Misty and Daughter Sarah and inlaws. Bill, Charity, Sandee, Debbie, Beckie and a neighbor. We did our waiting around and then I did a mile warmup. It was unusually warm up there. I forgot my warmup clothes and watch so I lucked out on freezing like last year. I found Paul and lined up with him and chatted a bit. So since my watch was left, I had a plan to just try and run this race by feel. When I say that I mean, I will push myself and give myself a bit of leftover for the start. I did this and I went through the first mile 5 or so seconds behind Paul. I knew I was in the high 4's but didnt ask as I was just behind the main pack that had started to spread already at this mile. Mile two I think I was near 25 or so seconds behind Paul. I knew he wanted to do a 1:05 so in my mind I thought if I could stay with in losing 20 seconds or so a mile I would be right near the 1:10 mark. I felt really good but felt really thirsty so every water station I really drank as much as I could grab. I was in 5th overall behind a runner from Orem area to mile 3. I passed him at this point and could tell he was trying to stay with me so I did a 25 second push and I couldnt hear him after that. I knew he would be there close so I started concentrating on my form and pushing as hard as I could on any downhill stretch. These are my strong points on this course. I got out of the canyon and had a glance to see behind me and saw that I had made up about 300 yards on him so I knew he was still within striking. I dread this section for some reason every year Im not sure why but I just cant keep my leg turn over going. I got to mile 11 which I was saving everything I had left to go up it. When I looked on a turn my gap was shortening. I thought Id take it a bit easy because I really am not in uphill running shape. I got to the last up and he was only a block behind me. I turned and hit the last straight and used the downhill to help me go as hard as I could. This helped me increase the gap and I eased into the finish. 1st for Masters with a course record. 4th overall. I talked with Steve after and chatted with him and a few other runners. Oh I cant forget I ran back to help my wife in. I got in 6 more miles plus my mile warmup to make 20. Great race, I love this one and never miss it every year.

My legs really would not cooperate this morning. I went to meet Danielle halfway and I was walk running the first mile. She wasnt there so I kept running to her house and the lights were off so I figured she slept in. I did my first 2 miles in 20 minutes! My last 3 miles were in 7:30 pace though. I need ice.
I did another 10 miles on my bike and my right knee was thanking me for it. I did 20 minutes in ice and wow what a difference that makes. I wanted to run another 5 or so but my body is telling me no.

Met near my house at a church with the BBK runners. I did a 3 mile warmup and then they planned a 6 mile tempo run but I didnt have time so I cut it to 3 miles. I guess I did more of a progressive run than tempo. I did a 6:01, 5:51, 5:34. Legs are still tight as can be. I feel better though from yesterday. Got to see Becca for the first time in a while. Nice to see her out doing the BBKing! lol I talked with Dean and found out his son is in my ward now. He bought the house that I owned the lot on from back in 2004. I also talked a bit with Rachel who is ramping up the miles this week! Good run!
I ran 6 miles on my lunch break around Liberty park. 4 loops on the wood chips and then an extra .25 to hit 6. Very hot! I biked to the trax line and then from the trax line to my house. 10 miles total.

| Went with Misty to my favorite course for a long run to mimick the St. George marathon course. It starts at the Capitol and you run the horseshoe to 11th ave then East to Shriners Hospital and then back to City Creek canyon and up to the top then back down to the Capitol. I ran alone and by the time I hit the canyon the sun was up so I made my way up it and there wasnt anyone up there which was odd because there are usually tons of runners and bikers up it on Saturday early. Going up was 2000' incline and I was averaging about an 8:15 pace. Coming down I hit my last 7 miles in: 6:15, 5:40, 5:52, 5:55, 5:44, 5:43, and 5:23. It was colder up the canyon which I love so I didnt feel any fade like I do with the heat.

| I ran up to Danielles house and we ran 14 miles together. We made our way around the lake and up to Herriman area on the SoJo marathon course and then back home. On my way back home I went to use a porta potti off the side of the road by Daybreak and walked in on a construction worker taking a dump and saw way to much! I have been washing my eyes several times today and still cant get it out of my mind! Ewww! |

I was installing bike racks up by Sugarhouse park today so I decided to run the park for my lunch break. I ate my lunch at 10 am while I was "working" and then at 11:30 I ran the park. Pretty hot but nice. No shade like Liberty park. I rode to Trax and then Trax to home saves about 11 miles of biking into a headwind. am I a wuss? Nahh! Ok I felt guilty for wussing out so I did another 8.25 miles of running tonight from my house up around Daybreak Lake and back.

I went down to LifeTime Fitness parking lot and met the bbk runners and I ran from my house there and got 4.25 miles. We did a short half mile run over to our spot for the 1 mile repeats and I got 3 of them in before I had to leave. I did 5:50, 6, and 5:54. I did a 2 minute rest in between. I got a total of 9 miles this morning.
I did 6 miles at Liberty Park for my lunch break and warmed up 2 miles and then did 2x1 mile repeats. I did a 5:34, and a 5:24 with a 2 minute rest in between. Then cool down to make the 6 miles.
I biked 10 miles home from work to Trax and Trax to home. |

| Woke up later than I wanted to but got out at 6:15 and ran 12. I was supposed to meet Danielle and thought I hosed her but when I got home I noticed her text saying she slept in till 7 so we hosed each other. It was nice out this morning and I ended up doing 3 miles tempo in 5:55, 5:44, 545. I would like to run SGM in 5:45 pace for the first half if its in the cards and then see if I can negative split. |

| I took the bus up with Danielle and Smooth, Rachel, Becca, Tina and some of their friends. I went right to the elite area and got in the porta jon line and talked to Lisa Madsen and gave her some pointers. Those lines were long this year, they need to get more jons or lower the elite field. I saw Kelly and Scott and a few others and then was summoned by St. George Running Center team to get my butt over to the start. I hate waiting to long at the start but there was a lot of faces I hadnt seen in a while so I did my catching up. It was good to see the usual SG runners like Clyde, Steve, Amber, Marci, Dave etc. sorry if youre in the etc group. I made a game plan to work with Jeff, and Ben to run together for a 2:30 time. I really felt I could do it. I had some mental issues of stress from the night before like my baby taking my garmin watch out of my running bag and my shorts. I usually put a few shorts in but he took my favorite ones out. The other was car issues, we had to borrow my dads car which started the stress. a 2006 VW Passat. I went to take my water bottles to the packet pickup and got their to late so I tried to figure out how to get them to someone. In the meantime I locked my wallet in the car so I went out to get it and realized the keyfob wasnt working. I paid 55 dollars to a tow truck who happened to be in the parking lot which pissed me off but I was trying to eliminate stress not fester on it. I ran in and got my packet right at 9. No chance for looking at any booths and buying a pair of shorts so I left it at that. Back to the start. We took off with a first mile of 5:48 I think it was and I felt really good. There was 3 or 4 fast runners ahead of the main pack which I ran in. They were talking and having a good time and joking around which was fun. The first little hill we came to around mile 3 I think it was I caught myself slowing a bit and they said where did Walter go? I said im right behind you! Im old and my 40 year old legs dont go up these hills like I used to. That created a chuckle at my expense. We stayed together until the big hill at Veyo and the pack pulled away from Jeff and I. We knew we were ok with 6:40 ish for a few miles so we took it fairly easy. I kind of pushed it a bit around 9 and Jeff didnt respond so I panicked a bit because the main pack had a half mile lead at that point. I later talked to Jeff who told me his stomache was churning which is not fun. I decided to try and work on getting the pack again and I was alone, with a bit of head wind and pushed the pace to mile 16. I started picking off stragglers from the pack there and felt really strong besides a mess up on the clock. I didnt have a watch or anyone to tell me my splits and thought I was at mile 16 when I was at 15. The clock said 1:28:45 which made me excited. When I got to mile 16 it was at 1:33 and change. That depressed me because I knew I had to be pushing close to 5:30 or better on the rest of the downhill. I guess I let it get to me because I was at 1:58 at mile 20 which meant I had to have a 32 minute 10k. Not now on these legs. The heat really ripped me a new one at this point and found myself fading and getting passed by runners which has a severe effect on my psychy in a marathon. I cramped up at mile 23 and used that last downhill to keep going but once it flatted out a bit I had a bystander rub my thigh because I was in pain. I sort of hobbled in the last few miles and called it a day. I ended up winning the Masters Murdock Cheverolet 100 dollars for the fastest old Please follow Fast Running Blog policy regarding vulgar language in Salt Lake County! Ye haw! Thanks Kelly for calling me and telling me that. I shouldve stayed for the awards. I also got my 400 bucks from top 10 from last year also so I ended up with 500 for my troubles to stimulate the gas station, tow truck, ihop, shopping mall(my daughters) Jiffy lube and a disgusting buffet my family all got sick at called Best Buffet. Its not Best or at least its not better than Chuckorama. lol

| Yey a computer! Didnt think Id see one of these for a while here in Wyoming. Little America has nowhere to run my friends! Very Cowboy friendly. I ran on a paved road for a half mile then went on a dirt road for a mile and a half till it dead ended into a sheep hearders camp and I swear I heard a banjo so I turned back for the hotel and finished on their crappy treadmill. Why do hotel treadmills only go 10 mph? Ill have to raise the incline to compensate I guess. Dont blame me when I bust this machine! It doesnt know what its in for. I have several weeks left up here and the elevation is the only cool think to brag about. |

Met Amy's (co worker) running friends up at Suncrest and we ran down to the Legacy Center in Lehi. I met Erica Roberts who knew me somehow and antoher Amy whos husband manages the Tri center. His name is Keb. I ran with him and Russ, the race director of the BYU-Utah relay. We did a 6:55 average for the 10 miles. I did a 1:08. we did a 5:45 last mile which felt good but my legs were tight from SGM still. Erica gave me and Amy a ride back up to my car and told me she knew me from being friends with Carina. Small world our little running community is! She is a riot though, I was laughing at her comments. She called Suncrest Bitch mountain. I have to clean the gatorade out of her truck i spit up. So it was a great little after burner SGM run. The elevation was 6100' up at Suncrest. It was like we were in Park City. Right in the clouds. Ill have to see if I can figure out how to put her pic from her FB on here! Its insane up there. Great run t hough I know my legs wont be healed for SoJo marathon. I will have to see how it goes.

I met Steve and went up to the start, our bus got lost for 20 minutes. At the start I saw and met up up Amy and Stacy. It was good to finally meet them. I think I talked to Ron but wasn't sure. I started out good, a little slower than I did at St. George. I figured it would help save my legs at the end. I ran a mile with Kurt and hit a 5:50 which he thought was too fast and told me I could go. Mile 2 was a 5:40 and 3 was 5:30. 4-7 were a good climb. I did 2-6:22's. Then a 7:09. Then I got back into a 5:45 pace. I slipped to a 6:08 pace at about mile 16 which was kind of early on. I saw Kelli at the soccer park. I was starting to feel it good. I made it to mile 20 which runs by my neighborhood and my wife and kids gave me a bottle of Cytomax. I stopped and drank half it and felt great to mile 21. Then I got passed by the first place guy. I had a death march from then on. I barely kept under 8 pace. It was too much to soon from SGM two weeks ago. I took 2nd overall and made $200 bucks for my lagoon trip with the family next week! :)
One embarrising part I should mention is I collasped at the finish line from severe leg cramps. I couldnt freaking stand up on my own. I was carried to the med tent and they forced me to drink this salted down gatorade 4 cups of it or it was an IV which I didnt want. I was a bit dehydrated.

| Went up to Daybreak with Misty and met Danielle for a ten mile jog. I had to cut it short from not feeling well. I had a nice week long break from running, as well as family and friends. Ive been working in Wyoming during the week days and coming home on the weekend. I got a call on the way home from Wyoming from the SoJo Police Department saying my car was stolen from where I parked it for the week. Lovely, so I got to file a stolen vehicle report and deal with that all night. They recovered it and the suspect is in custody. Turned out they used my vehicle in a crime scene. I dont know what they did but they said the guys name is Shawn who stole my car. He said I told him its alright to take it. haha I wished he wouldve wrecked it so I could catch a freakin break. lol |

| 4 miles on the Hotel Treadmill in Kemmerer, Wyoming. I thought I was going to break it. I started out at 8 mph and worked into 12 mph by the end. I was surprised it even went that high. It was really a cheap brand machine that got the job done though. |

Ok so, I was in charge of pacing this crazy race a couple of months ago and so I took the challenge of finding awesome friends and runners to help organize pace times of 1:30 every ten minutes to 3 hours. There were some awesome friends on here that helped. Kelli, Rachel, Rob R., James, Allie, Andy B., Tom and Kim Lee, and yours truely. Ok So the race had some serious trouble with packet pickup. The company that sorts out the data from registration failed horribly as they lost info on a couple thousand names of runners. Ooops! So, as you can imagine, packet pickup turned into a complete joke. Im sure he learned his lesson on using them again. So I got my pacers organized a couple of weeks ago and felt really good and added a few later on but it worked! I asked Rob about ideas of pace bands as I knew this course to be fast for the first 4 to 5 miles. I knew that a flat pace wouldnt work as it would make my pacers go slow at the start and all out in the last miles. Not good for most runners who are wanting to stay with an experienced pacer. Kelli told me she had noticed how Clif Bar pacers do that and it is impossible to stay with them. So Rob got the course tool out and went all out so I officially made him my Course Tool Stud! OMG what a great job he did! Everyone of my pacers were right on! So, back to the story here I wanted to share. I had some guy named Luke Wagner who was a clif bar pacer try to insist that I do a flat pace and I told him it wouldnt work. He mustve got offended by this so he started sending me emails which I still have, if you want to see them I can forward them to you. He told me what an idiot I was and that I would fail and I responded back to him that he wouldnt be pacing my 1:30 group or any at all for that matter so he started emailing my pacers negative (and im being modest here) messages to everyone telling them Im no longer in charge. Kelli called me up and told me that a couple of days before the race so I sent him my final email telling him if he showed up to packet pickup or the starting line and tried to interfere I would have him escorted out. I actually had the number to the cop at the top so I could and wished he wouldve showed like he said but didnt. I warned Allie and James who were pacing the 1:30 group about him and luckily he didnt show. He actually told me he wanted to fight me so I obliged him and said Id be there! He sent another email after the race telling my pacers they failed horribly and wow did he get an earful from some of them! So funny! If you guys know him personally I would really like to know why he is acting this way. Ive never had to deal with someone like that. really? Competing for a pace group? Bring it! I am competitive. lol I want to seriously thank my pacers though as they did top notch! I had tons of compliments from runners which makes me feel good and I have to pass it on to you guys as well! Kelli helped me out a lot at packet pickup and Rob, omg I cant thank enough. He saved the day. Rachel helped in the chaos at packet pickup as well. Allie and James were so into their pace group that they got engaged over it! Ok so maybe thats not how it happened but it would make a great story right? Tom and Kim came in right on cue and had a lady that was so excited to hit that time that I think she wanted to bake you guys a cake or something! I told her to make sure she left a comment on the website! Andy I cant forget either! Such a great job. So all in all thank you guys and Michael the race director already told me we would be his official pacers! Now I can start squeezing him for some rewards to you guys for helping. Thank YOU! I had fun! I will do this again!

I went to my sis in laws stake 5k. I took the family to do it. I met Amy, a friend of mine and chatted with her a bit. I ran a mile warmup and then the race got started. I did my first mile in 5:18 and had 2 kids on my side. They took off and got about 15 yards instant on me. I reeled them back in by mile 2 and then they surged again. There was some uphill grade that slowed me to a 5:40 2nd mile and then when it flattened out I pushed as hard as I could but they did as well. I ended up 3rd. I won a Cornish Game Hen. The first place got a turkey and second got a Chicken. lol. The winners ran for UVC of course! lol I needed that, I havnt run a 5k in a while.

| I met Danielle halfway this morning and we went up to the lake and around and then to her house I dropped her off and came home. My first mile was hell. I have issues with both sides of my periformis and it hurts to rotate my legs and lift them. I rolled them and iced them and im sick of seeing doctors on it and it not being resolved so im going to push through it just like I did with my injuries from my wreck. Im flipping off my own body! |
