1 Marathon/year for the past 8 years, ; PR'd at 08 St. George 3:13:24!

1/2 marathon PR Moab, 1:37, beat this at 08' St George with a neg split at 1:31ish, Pr'd officially at 09' Moab 1/2, 1:33:13, even though I ran faster the 2nd half of St. George marathon, i assume I count this one! which tells me 2 things, 2nd half of St. George is a really fast course, and I am very surprised I could do that on the 2nd half of a marathon, must of been the good rainy cold weather!! Under 1:30 in 09' is still the goal!

Personal:

Married (Kelli) with 4 boys between 10-2: Carver, Taylor, Zach, and Tanner, live in Eden been running since my wife dragged me down to the Moab 1/2 and 5miler in 98 or 99 and I got hooked, and I wasn't even running in the race! before that i thought running just to run was not much fun, I preferred doing it while playing soccer, b-ball, etc... now I love it and working on getting bettta!

Total Distance
8.30

8.3 solid mile on the TM this morning, when I started I thought I am not going to last 3 miles, the mojo wasn't there, then I got in a nice little groove, for the whole run I averaged under 8's with a couple around 7:30. Heading to Sun Valley for the weekend to do some skiing, should be fun, it is a great mountain to ski!

Here is my condensed list of someones running commandments: I like #3 the best!

53 Running Commandments by Joe Kelly condensed down to my favorite 18

1. Walking out the door is often the toughest part of a run.
2. Don't make running your life. Make it part of your life.
3. All runners are equal, some are just faster than others.
4. Keep in mind that the later in the day it gets, the more likely it is that you won't run.
5. For a change of pace, get driven out and then run back.
6. If it was easy, everybody would be a runner.
7. When standing in starting lines, remind yourself how fortunate you are to be there.
8. Getting out of shape is much easier than getting into shape.
9. Approach running as if the quality of your life depended on it.
10. No matter how slow you run it is still faster than someone sitting on a couch.
11. Keep in mind that the harder you run during training, the luckier you'll get during racing.
12. Races aren't just for those who can run fast.
13. The best runs sometimes come on days when you didn't feel like running.
14. Look at hills as opportunities to pass people.
15. Don't wait for perfect weather. If you do, you won't run very often.
16. Unless you make your living as a runner, don't take running too seriously.
17. Never confuse the Ben-Gay tube with the toothpaste tube.
18. Running is always enjoyable. Sometimes, though, the joy doesn't come until the end of the run.
