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.

Met up with Andrea, Johnny, Jeremy, and Tracy C. Did 6.5 miles with all of them, then Tracy bailed and the rest of us did one more lap around Wheeler Farm. It was slightly icy on the trail in a couple shady spots, but it was clear enough to run. We heard a lot of great stories from Johnny about his Marine Corps days. Funny.

Ya- I went out in shorts this morning. Dunno what I was thinking. Got a bit numb and decided to turn back to avoid frostbite, etc. Bad day. Low mileage. Oh well.

AM: Got in 3 miles by doing 2 laps around the bluff. It was perfect. No wind. Fresh snow (just 1 inch). I had to cut out early (by 6:30) because of hill kills tonight.

PM: Got over to meet the group at 6:30. Decent turnout- we had myself, Johnny, Andrea, Jeremy, Amber, Marie, Renae, Traci, and Tracy. No Travis, but Jeremy was still there to entertain us. 9 hills, 8 miles.

I was kind of fatigued this morning. I got out and did 5.5 miles slow. It felt good.
