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!

Waiting for some files to get done to close... sooo I headed to the gym for an extended workout, started with a good 6.2 on the TM, pretty nice run, hard to get going after running outside all of last week, but pushed through... then hit a spin class for a great burn(3 run miles)! then back out for a 2 mile cool down on the TM! Overall great workout and a good way to start February, I need to kick it up a notch this month, I'd like to shoot for sub 1:30 at Moab in MArch!

A Beautiful run on the bench, even though I had some fairly significant distractions... bathroom break on the steep hill, 3 phone calls I had to take (work related), trail conditions weren't great (muddy, slippery, uneven snow)... other than that it was beautiful! I was running outside, but I guess for a good consistent run I am going to have to run on the roads!

A solid run on the TM this morning, did the last 2 miles at 7min pace, need to get that pace feeling comfy for an extended amount of time... felt good today, easy breathing and felt good!

Late night soccer tonight! A fun soccer game, we beat the only unbeaten team, good hard fought battle, 1.5 run miles.

A tired but good gym workout, I was feeling the effects of 4.5 hrs of sleep, after the late night soccer game and then not being able to fall asleep... did a Spin class 1st (3run miles), great class they are doing this RPM class that is very continuous no resting! then went on the TM and did 3.5 miles all at 7:41ish i think! Then I went and got a sandwich and then a drink from the gas station and then I spotted a chocolate-chocolate donut sitting there in the donut container,  my old nemesis came back, I love those kinds of donuts and for some reason when I saw it today I craved it like crazy, so I bought and ate it before I even ate my sandwich!! It was very good!

A very nice gym workout this morning, TM run for 3.2 miles, good pace... then hit a Spin class, new instructor and she was great pushed it hard(3 run miles), then back out for 3 more TM miles, last 1.5 under 7min pace! I am to the point now where it seems I have to break up the TM running or I can't handle it, soo it worked out good this morning with the Spin class!

Soccer game tonight. A fun soccer game, we got beat, no subs till the 2nd half! great workout!(1.5 miles)

Got a good gym workout in... started with a 1.2 quick TM warm-up, then hit Spin for a great burner(3 run miles), and then back out for 4.7 on the TM held it steady at a 7:30 pace while talking with Todd most the time! My left Glut is very sore, I think I pulled something skiing the other day, got to get a quick heal by tomorrow, a full day of skiing is in the works!

Finally got a run in, I'd be worried if I hadn't been doing anything, but considering the snow and the fun times skiing wouldn't trade it for anything, in fact I think it is quite healthy for me to have the diversion... sometimes I worry I am to addicted. Anyway hit the gym a great TM run 3.3 warmup, then a good Spin class(3 run miles) and then back out for 4 fast TM miles, last 2.5 under 7's.

Well it happened again... we got an amazing dumping of snow yesterday, 24+ inches in the valley and Snowbasin got even more... sooo I hit the slopes for what was meant to be a couple hours ended up being 4 hrs, but I was disciplined enough to leave even though they had just opened NONAME! great skiing, skied with Trent R and a buddy of his, skied all over and skied hard, best run was the Bash, it was deep and soft!

Took the kids up to wolf in the evening, good time the kids skied it up, then I went to a late night soccer game that wasn't very good, we played a bad team and whooped em!

Got to the gym again, Warmed up on the TM for 5 and then hit Spin class(3miles), good burn, I was dripping sweat, I had 2 older ladies to both sides of me and I think they were both thinking something was wrong with me, because of the sweat dripping!

Hit the gym, even though it was 50plus degrees outside, I have a hard time running through neighborhoods in S.Ogden, and I haven't been feeling great so I wanted the controlled environment of the TM and Spin bike...  .75 warm up on TM, then Spin Class(3 run miles), then back out for 4.35 TM miles, the last 2ish under 7's, felt pretty good, I felt like I was running and sweating my sickness out of me!

Soccer game tonight! Good soccer game tonight, ran pretty hard, and we won on to the finals next week.

Hit the gym again, felt great I feel like I am running this congestion right out of me, atleast that is my motivation and so far it is working, it hasn't kicked in the way it has with 2 of my boys! Started with a good warmup on the TM 2.7 miles then off to Spin(3 run miles), was a good spin class good instructor that kept us rolling! Then back out for 2.6 more on the TM with the last 1.5 just above 7's. Went and sat in the Sauna for 10-15 min after to continue the sweat out!

Filled in for the Oaks soccer team fun game, ran hard for a very good workout (1.5miles)
