Running Accomplishments:

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!

3:19:02 Ogden Marathon 08'

3:33:06 Ogden Marathon 09' (tough one, but good to finish!)

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!

Hit the bench for an afternoon run, my legs were heavy and still feeling fatigued, more so than the marathon last month, i am thinking it's probably from my 2nd leg going down into Henefer. I did my Mt. Ogden loop run, and as I started I thought I haven't seen one snake this year running, I bet I see one today, sure enough as I was going up Strong Canyon there was one by the stream, it was on my left with the stream on my right, i jumped to the right and the dang thing came at me toward the stream, after a few quick steps I turned and saw it slither down near the stream, it looked like a young Rattler, it didn't rattle and I didn't get a good enough look at it due to my quick movements to get away from it! yikes I don't like snakes, I think I'd rather run into a bear! After that I was a bit jumpy, I saw alot of sticks that scared me, but no more snakes, overall good run, nice to loosen up the legs! 50min total running time.

Good run on the N.arm with Nicholas, good conversation pace, I stayed in front of him to keep him from pushing the pace, he likes to do that on this trail... ran for 72:28 and 8.3miles, felt good to loosen up the legs they were still feeling heavy!

I have a soccer game tonight should be a good workout we play a good team! Good soccer game we won and I got a good sweat in!

5 beautiful miles on the N. Arm, it was a bit chilly this morning 47degrees when i left but it felt great... felt good after about a mile and decided to try and get under 40 for the loop but missed it by 24 sec. came in at 40:24...hope to get out for a bike ride later today!

sweet Mtn. Bike ride... Really my first Mtn ride of the year, went up and over Skyline, for my first ride I felt awesome, in fact I have only ever done Skyline under 2 hrs one other time and I was at 2:01:30, but I had atleast a 3 min delay draggin my bike through 2 large snowfields... so I am counting it sub 2hr. I was actually shocked how strong I felt...I think it is a combo of a solid 10 lbs lighter this year and I just updated my Ipod with a new mix of songs that were rockin!
