Sub 2:19:00 marathon 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. |

| So, I crashed after the relay last night and the nap Sunday afternoon was really nice. I am a little sore, but it is not too bad. Anyhow, here is the update on my shoe mileage Surge - 110.25 Ohana Racer - 209 Speedstar - 1.5 | | Add Comment |

| I ended up having trouble sleeping last night because I slept so much yesterday, but I guess it all averages out. Anyhow, I ran with my brother Andrew this morning up in Park City. My calves were pretty sore after the Wasatch Back, but they got better pretty quick. Now my quads, and to an extent my shins are the only areas left that are still sore. We took it pretty easy and after 6 miles I dropped off Andrew and then ran 2 more miles alone. Total time for the workout was 1:03:46. | | Add Comment |

I ran pretty easy with Andrew today. Still in Park City. Total time 1:44:18.
I went swimming yesterday and today, as well as hiking this afternoon, so I am staying pretty active on top of the running. It has also been really hard to sleep considering that my mom never sleeps and neither does anyone else at our famiily reunion. My original plan was to run 14 tomorrow but I think I might hold it to 12 instead and try to get a bit more sleep. Also, I am not sore anymore, but I think there might be a few more lingering issues from the Wasatch Back that still need to get worked out. Basically I am just feeling a little tired, not from lack of sleep, but I am still getting over the shock to my system from racing 19.2 miles off of no sleep. | | Add Comment |

Easy run again, about half of it with my brother. We kept it at a slightly faster pace today because we had somewhere else we needed to be later in the morning. Total time 1:24:34 for 12 miles. I was pretty tired later on in the afternoon because I didn't get enough sleep last night. I have found that it is almost impossible to get enough sleep when you are sharing a hotel with a whole group of people who don't ever go to sleep until after midnight. I guess it has been bearable, but I am anxious for a more normal schedule so that I can get enough sleep. | | Add Comment |

| I ran with a whole gang of people this morning up in Park City. We started off pretty slow going through some hills in Park City at the 4.5 mile mark we had been out for about 36 minutes. So, 8 min pace for the first little while. Then, Walter and I started to pick up the pace and the next thing I know the others are completely out of sight. We ended up running down the trail the Park City half-marathon is run on until we got to I-80. At this point we ran next to the highway for a bit and then ended up looping back on a road in the middle of nowhere until we finally made it back to the trail we had been running on earlier. We started heading back to where we started, and eventually we caught up to the rest of the group, finishing with them. We finished in 2:08:00 for 18.2 miles, while the others had gone just over 15 miles during the same time span. I then did 4 100s on the turf at the high school barefoot just to see what it would feel like to finish off my mileage for the day at 18.45. | | Comments(2) |
