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 with Sasha, Mary Ann, Daniel, and Bryce this morning.  Bryce was our new addition for the day as we is friends with Mary Ann and he decided to come down.  We ran out to the 7 mile turn-around and then came back and continued on the trail to the turn-around for the uneventful half before finishing at Sasha's house in 1:18:41 for 10 miles.  We threw in a few accelerations in the middle of the run as well.

On a side note, Sasha gave us the new racing jerseys today.  They will debut tomorrow at the Salt Lake City race series 5k.  The logo for the blog and for the St. George Running Center are much bigger on the new jerseys than on the old ones.
