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 ran a long run today, running the first half with Sasha in 1:13:52, and running the second half alone in 1:06:42. I kept the pace pretty easy the entire time, because I don't want to kill myself 2 weeks out from another marathon as I think that I hurt myself in Salt Lake because of the half that I ran 2 weeks before. I did push the pace a little bit during the second half as I just wanted to get done, and during the first half of the run Sasha and I ran a couple fat miles.

I am running the Utah Valley Marathon on the 13th of June. It is a good one for me because the course is right here in the Provo/Orem area

That's what I figured once I thought about it! Good luck - I am sure you will do very well.
