Short-Term Running Goals: 2011: Complete my first Olympic and Half Ironman triathlons 2012: Break 2:40 at St George 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).

| We got hit by a storm in the morning. The wind during the night kept me up a little, but fortunately today was Sunday. After I shoveled off the driveway and sidewalks, I ate lunch and went out for a recovery (easy) run. The trail was deep in snow at times, so my shoes got pretty wet. I ran into a group of 12 deer on the trail, so I slowed to a walk and approached them slowly. They trotted off as I got close. It snowed again as soon as I got back, so I shoveled again during the evening. I couldn't bring myself to watch the superbowl, as I really had no interest in it. | | Add Comment |

| Man- I was a punk today. We got up to the mouth of the canyon (big cottonwood) about 8:15, but it was closed. We waited and waited... finally got the road open at 10:15. So we blew off work and stayed up on the mountain until 3:30. I was trashed afterwards, so I was debating on Monday night speedwork. I decided to go out to the Olympic Oval and meet my friends, but then Andrea called and said everyone was bagging out. So I spent the evening at home with the family. I'm off to New Jersey starting next week (will be there every week until June), so I am trying to spend a little extra time at home. | | Add Comment |

My good shoes were wet from Sunday, so I put on an older pair. They felt stiff. Bad feeling. But I think I'm getting to the point where I'm conditioned enough and the shoes don't matter quite as much. Sure- I don't want broken down trashed shoes, but my legs and ankles are stronger than they have been in a couple years.
It was pretty cold. I started with 1.5 miles around the neighborhood for a warmup, took a restroom break, then did 6 miles in Sandy. | | Add Comment |

AM: Got out for 5 easy(ish) miles. I say "easy", but I always fall into a fast pace on these shorter runs. I am going to meet up with the group this evening for 5 miles of hill kills, so that should put today's distance up where it needs to be.
PM: Met up with the group for the hill run. It was a solid 5.5 miles. | | Add Comment |

| It was a cold morning. For some reason, our water heater went out. That meant I had to hit the gym on the way to work for a shower. Oh well. I did a 7.5 mile loop. | | Add Comment |

| I wanted to get 10 in today, but we don't have any hot water at the house. So doing a run in the evening was out. I did 7.5 in the morning and showered at the gym. Getting a new hot water heater in the morning. | | Comments(2) |

Kearns run. We had a pretty good group today: Myself, Bill, Andrea, Johnny, Jason, Tracy A, Tracy C, Tracy H, Alicia, Natalie, Miriam, Scott. Christina was there, but some work issues kept her up all night so she offered to do the sag.
We started off with 2 miles slow to a church parking lot. Natalie, Tracy H, Alicia, and Miriam had all met to do some early miles, because they had to leave early for various reasons. So we started out and doubled-back when we heard they were trying to catch up to us. We got to the church parking lot and did 10x100 sprints. That got us all warmed up. Then we went over to the usual hill loop, where we run about 100m up the hill, turn the corer, and sprint another 50m where it levels off. Then we run easy arond the block and repeat. We did this 12 times today (we had done it 10 times in previous workouts). After we were done there, we did 2x1600 tempo runs. The first was slightly downhill (5:30 pace), and the second was slightly uphill with a slight headwind (6:30 pace). It reminded me of mile 6 at the Provo River 1/2 Marathon. Pretty tough, but I was running strong today. Good weather, too. I think we were running in the high-30s. | | Add Comment |
