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!

Ahh finally a run where I felt pretty good, although I didn't break any speed records, I atleast felt good throughout the run... started at 27th went north over to the indian trail and then cut back south on the upper trail and kept on moving to the sttep trail down and back! stopped and refreshed in the streams a few times and made it a point to try and enjoy the run... and I did, there were a ton of lizards on the trail today, they always make me a bit jumpy thinking they might be a rattler! 7.1 miles with 1416 in climbing!

It was a good day on the MTN bike, headed out from my office and climbed up to the Beus TH and then climbed it, tough climb the creek has eroded the trail a bit makes for tough riding, I walked the bike a bit! got up on the upper trail and rode hard, had one Snake crossing, and the thing would not get off the trail I rolled my front tire on it and it just sat there, I then got a rock and kicked it toward it and it finally slithered off the trail, not a rattler but I still don't like snakes! 13.8 total on the bike miles 1:25 ride time, 145 ave. HR, and 1953 worth of climbing, overall a fantastical ride, loving the bike right now, a needed break from the running, or not necessarily break but change-up!

A good night training run on the N.Arm with Fish, Nick and B.Strom... nice easy pace, felt great, good conversation and then at the turn around point the rain came and quickly made the trail in places a muddy mess, but it was still fun to run in the rain... glad to have done it! I needed it after doing nothing all day! 8.4 miles.
