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. |

| My legs still feel thrashed after my Saturday tempo. All I did was ride the bike home, and then run 5 miles in a little over 39 minutes.

| The Springville Cross Country team ran a 1600 time trial today. My original plan was to run it with them, but my legs are still feeling tired after Saturday, so I decided to only do the second half of it with them. I ran a 2:18 second half (1:11, 1:07) to help pace the top runner for the team to a 4:37. It is his pr by 1 second. After doing this, I ran more miles to finish with 10 for the day.

| The race this morning was very competitive. There were a bunch of the top guys from the blog, as well as some fast local guys, and some guys that go to BYU and UVU. The race started off fast. I was up at the front with Sean Sundwall, Nick McCombs, Reagan Frey (BYU), Josh Rohatinsky (dropped out at 3 miles), and some guy that runs for SUU (didn't cross the finish line). A little over a mile into the race, the other guys dropped me and I fell 30-50 meters behind. I decided that I would be patient and wait until about 2.5 miles before I would make a move to try and catch them all. So, at 2.5 I made a move and slowly started catching the rest of the guys. My problem is that I let them get too much of a gap on me before I started trying to catch them. Anyhow, I slowly gained ground on them, and I caught Reagan a little ways past the 3 mile mark. He stayed with me until we made it to about 3.5 and then dropped off. I then tried to catch Nick, and I made it to within about a second of him with 400 left. At this point I had almost nothing left, and he gained just slightly on me over the last 400. So, I finished in third at 20:02.1 while Nick finished in 19:59.8 and Sean finished in 19:55. The SUU guy beat us all, but he never crossed the finish line because he was banditing the race. Overall it was a good race, and I am pretty happy with how I did, but I wish that I could have gotten those 2 extra seconds to finish under 20:00.

| I was super tired today, with moving and all, so I just ran an easy 12 with Sasha. I took a 3 hour nap in the afternoon |
