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!

A very nice workout at the gym this afternoon, got there a bit early so I got 3.5 miles of quick running on the TM did .5 miles at 6:40 pace and another 1.5 under 7's... then I hit Spin Class, the instructor was late so when she got there 15 minutes late I had been spinning thw whole time she decided to do a regular class so I got 1 hr in on the bike which was great, I felt very good and worked hard (4 run miles)... then back out to the TM for 3.2 more run miles all at a good clip!  Looking to get 50 miles in the next couple weeks to prepare for the Moab half and also I need to get some fast miles in out on the road hopefully!!!!!

Beautiful day, 38degrees at 6:30 this morning in the Valley, felt like serious SpringTime, so i got outside and ran... it was nice, felt great did the first and 2nd mile in 7:46 and 7:47, 3rd 7:55, 4th 7:22. with another .75 to finish it off. Good to run outside and not be freezing i have been a wimp this winter with cold runnning weather, hence the gym time! Looks like it may be getting cold again, no worries I need a few more good ski days! I am going to either hit the gym or go outside again later!

Added another 6.35 with Shane up on the Bonneville shoreline trail North of 12th which was awesome, warm, dry and great to be running on a trail... My only problem was I went without lunch and only snacked, I am trying to be better at my eating and trying to snack more throughout the day, that doesn't work well when you run with the MTN goat, we started going up, and then on the turn around we took the upper trail which led to more up and I was runnning in a bit of a delusion, kinda light headed, but I kept moving and ran through it and felt better after a minute, good lesson to learn though!!

Another great run outside, waited till the 2 younger ones went to there pre-school and tumbling/mess around class, and then headed out at around 9:20. I did the River Road loop wind wasn't bad going North actually didn't even notice it(maybe cause it was at my back) but I don't think it had started up too bad, when I turned west there was a good side wind and then when I turned South it really kicked up, haven't ran in that kind of wind for a long time, thank goodness it was warm, felt good and actually picked up the pace the last few miles(sub 8's) overall felt a bit fatigued from yesterday's hills, but got feeling better as the run progressed!

Late night Championship soccer game tonight, so should be a good workout! fun game we got beat but ran hard...

Took to the TM again today at the gym... plan was to do the norm little warmup then Spin... but got talking with Todd on the TM and missed the Spin class, actually was very good got a very good run in, last few miles picked it up and the last 2 under 7's and moved down for the last mile at 6:40ish, felt pretty good, definately was pushing it at that pace, need a few more longer pushes sub 7 before Moab to get a better idea if I can sustain it for the 1/2!! Looking forward to it either way, should be a good one!

Planned on a nice easy workout at the gym... but I felt awesome so I got after it! started with quick 1.4 TM warmup then Spin class(3miles) good burn, felt very good, then went back out on the TM for what I though would be another 1.5 mile but felt very good and decided to go for my TM 5k record... after a quick 1 miles, I kicked in and dropped below 7's and gradually kept dropping I ended running at 6:18ish or somethin like that and had I been paying more attention could have definately gone under the 20 min mark!! but I ended up after subtracting my first mile at 20:10 for the 5K, good stuff! I felt great, I hope I have a day like this in 2 weeks in Moab 7/min pace felt very good, like I could've just kept on rolling!

Got outside for a quick run down to the Stake Center and back up by Shanes and around... Felt really good splits were: 1= 7:28, 2= 7:26, 3= 7:43, 4= 7:55, 5= 6:58, It was abit chilly and a little windy but ran inshorts and a long sleeve with a beanie! ave HR was 155 and the 6:58 mile was 163, not sure if I can hold that and a bit better for 13, we shall see, looking forward to it!
