Move into endurance mountain biking and trail triathlons (xterra, etc) 

Long-Term Running Goals:

Keep running. Move into triathlons and get stronger. Keep succeeding at half marathons and the occasional marathon.

Personal:

I know Sasha from the CS program at BYU. We both graduated in 1997. He probably doesn't remember me, because he was definitely more vocal in class and among the students than I was.

Married to Teresa with 3 kids: Anders (4), Kristian (9), and Zoe (12).

Fluent in Danish, but there is obviously very little need for that.

Wow! You're back! I was kind of slack over the winter, but I keep it updated for January. Good miles this week.

Ya, I was trying to add up my weekly miles after we talked on Saturday. I think I've been all over the place. I figured the blog would help my confidence and make me realize that I've got decent weekly miles, even with the pilates/yoga/spin classes. I don't think I can push out any more miles without dropping some classes due to time constraints, so maybe 50 is my magic weekly number.
