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.

Did a 7.5 mile loop in the early AM up to the Draper temple and back. Stopped at the equestrian center for a restroom break, but pushed it pretty good otherwise. Felt great.

AM: Pilates @ 5:45 

I didn't meet the group for hills this evening. Instead, I came home early to run in the sun. I had to watch my youngest son at 7 while my daughter & wife went to the gym. Hit some of the lower trails out by south mountain. It was a little slow starting out due to the Pilates class in the morning, but felt good in the second half.

Mostly easy miles with a big push up a nasty hill, which adds an extra mile to my easy 5.5 miles.

Emigration in the morning with the crew. Walter and I pushed it good the last 3 miles, ending with a nice tempo pace. My guess is just under 6-minute miles.
