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!

Cont. from Friday... I started my 2nd leg a 10.9 mile run from E. Canyon down to past Henefer... wasn't sure what the start had in store but I knew there was some cruising downhill going down to Henefer... I felt very good right from the start and got in a good nighttime groove, hit some hills and then a 2 part steep hill, and then the downhill came and an update that the #202 team had closed the gap to under 4's, I got a bit mad to myself and started rolling down the downhill I felt very very good, I have no idea what pace or how long but for a few miles it was fun, it was one of those floaty feelings! the finish to this dragged on a bit but it was good tough one! I extended the lead to I think 6:30. I ended up averaging 7:20's over the 10.9, I handed off to John and he took off and extended our lead to 16 min. and really that was the end to the #202 team we didn't see them much more after that if at all, we put them away, and it felt good!

from here on everyone was tired for there 3rd legs but everyone did great, my 3rd leg was 10.1 miles it went from Heber up to Wasatch Golf Course and I was tired it was all I could do to keep moving, at times it felt like I was doing 10 min. miles, I finally made it and handed off, I ended up averaging 8:20's which for how I felt I was happy with... The Swamp Donkeys finished strong we ended up sub 24 hrs at 23:30, and took 2nd in the Ultra groups. Overall it was a great time and it sounds like we are already planning on next years Ultra Team!

I can't believe you guys knocked out that kind of time with a 6 man team. Way to go. I'm still interested in hitting the trails. Let me know when next time you go out
