Personal:

I used to run competitively, and maybe I will do so again someday.  Right now I am primarily running to try and get in better shape, and to maintain both physical and emotional health, but also for the simple joy that comes when I run.

I am also the proud daddy of five little ones.  I love the opportunity that I have to be a daddy, and my challenge is to balance my family responsibilities with work and running.

I was fried after today. I honestly felt like I feel after I do a hard 20 mile run, kind of like the 20 miler with a 15 mile tempo thrown in it up south fork canyon that I did with Sasha a while back. I had to go to BYU in the morning and by the time I got out of there I was going to be late getting back to Springville Junior High so I really had to bust my butt on my bike riding there. By the time that I got there my legs already felt fried. Then, just 2 hours later I went to Cross Country practice at the high school and we did 12x400m repeats. We took the first one really slow as a warm up, and we did it in 83. We then ran 73, 74 and 72. These were all on the grass, so they were slower. My guess is that the grass probably added about 3 seconds. We then did 4 repeats on the track. I ran 68, 69, 68, and 73 (coach wales asked everyone to slow down on this one). Then, 4 more on the grass in 73, 73, 71, 68. So, not a shabby workout. I could have gone faster if I was trying harder, but I didn't want to go too hard because my legs were already fried. After practice was over I ran more to get a total mileage of 10 for the day, then I rode the bike home for a total of 6 miles from biking (18 total)
