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!

I finally got some miles in after taking some run time off since last Wednesday... I pulled my upper, upper hamstring I think, it is deep in my Glut, but have been told it is where the hamstring attaches??? anyway i did it playing soccer last Wed. soo for therapy I went skiing Friday half day, Saturday all day and today for a few hours, it doesn't hurt when I ski!! Today was unbelievable 13-14 inches and in spots alot deeper, can't believe it is Spring and almost April, it felt like January! Lovin it!

Tonight I jumped on the home TM while the kids were playing around in the basement, good workout didn't kill it, just nice and easy, a bit worried about the injury I can feel it when I run, but I have been able to really since before the St. George Marathon last October!!

More skiing this week as more storms are coming!!! Thinking about running the half up here on Saturday???

A nice gym workout, 3.5 miles on the TM, last 1.5ish under 7's and then i went to Spin class, good workout there too, tried to keep it tough pedaling and work on working and stretching my Ham/Glut/whatever it is??

Snow is falling again, sis is in town may mean i will ski for a bit tomorrow, good injury therapy!

got a good TM run in at the house this morning, did it barefoot, which i wouldn't recommend, a bit of a blister building on the left foot toward the end of the run... may have been due to the fact i was doing 2 min intervals at a pretty fast pace.

2 soccer games tonight that went well... won the first tied the 2nd, i took it easy due to my hammy not feeling great, especially when i cut or sprinted(1 run mile)

is there an injury bug going around FRB? if so i have caught it... I have been dealing with this hammy issue, and probably shouldn't have played soccer last night but i did and must have been over compensating for it and did something to the ol' right groin!!! So i went to the gym and got on the bike for 50 minutes, felt good to loosen it up a bit but it is hurtin tonight, so don't know if I did more damage! May need some extendo healing time, haven't dealt with sideline injury for a long time!! couldn't run if i wanted to right now! and the unfortunate thing is i am pretty sure i couldn't ski.

Decided to go for a late night special(left at around 9:30), my groin made a phenomenal comeback today and felt much better as the day went on, I am turning into a believer with the Ice, stretch, and Tiger Balm treatment! My hammy hurt a bit on the run but not too bad, kept it nice and easy... ran from my parents house over to our house with a little add on around Eden to get over 10! Beautiful night the moon was bright, didn't my headlamp and a good thing I didn't cause the batteries went dead about 1/2 hr into the run! The only real issue on the run was the cars bright lights when they came toward me, i was a bit worried about rolling my ankle when i stepped off the road!
