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!

WEll The Swamp Donkey's did it again, tore up the Wasatch back as an Ultra team... good hard, fun, sleepy time! I had the same legs as last year: Started in Liberty and went to Middle Fork, I had a good leg here, I didn't burn it too much I didn't want to kill myself early, ended up averaging 7:22's, Splits: 6:53, 7:05, 7:18, 7:26, 7:20, 7:29, 7:52, last .32 7:55! The team was doing great, Shane burned up Avon as he always does and the 2 Nick's rolled through Logan! Handed off to John L. and he was off and I was off to the house to shower and eat some food!

nice run chad. I am impressed. I honestly can say doing an ultra team would likely kill me.

Well I wish I can say it wasn't too bad, but I can honestly say it about killed me... fun to finish and do well but ouch!

Nice to get to go home somewhere in there!

Awesome work, and WOW as an ULTRA team.

yea kelli with an "i" it is nice to have the house right on the course, in fact I ran right by it on my run! We may e back to try to claim the elusive 1st place for the Ultra teams!

There are not a lot of us Kelli's with an I!!

I say go for it! My husband was just in awe at the Ultra runners. he kept saying, "I want to be one of them." So, he signed up to do Vegas as an Ultra, but I am still trying to change his mind!

What does your wife think about being right on the course??? When we were running in the night (in Coalville, I think) this lady came out and was yelling at us that she was trying to get sleep and we were making it hard for her. I felt bad, I am sure all of the cars driving by and the cars stopping was driving her nuts. I can not think how us quiet runners could have been making her mad. But I felt bad!

We are in Eden so it was pretty quite i assume after dark, just the very fast 5and 6pm starters, and those guys go by so fast you don't even know they are there! During the day, they said it is fun to see all the runners and the excitement!

From cgbooth23 on Mon, Jun 22, 2009 at 14:15:21 from 67.136.44.51

"quiet" not quite: my kelli was meant to run with a 12 person team , but she hurt her knee a bit playing soccer a couple weeks before.

From Kelli on Mon, Jun 22, 2009 at 14:16:16 from 71.219.76.64

Eden is so beautiful! Lucky guy.

Hopefully that lady got some sleep, someone yelled something at her but I could not tell what they said. I felt bad, but I was quiet and my van was not even stopping for me on that night leg, so she couldn't be mad at us!

From Kelli on Mon, Jun 22, 2009 at 14:17:35 from 71.219.76.64

I read QUIET, so it is okay!

I hope your wife is feeling better soon. That is a bummer that she did not get to do it, but then she got to cheer you on from the front yard, right?
