I am married with 3 lovely children 26, 18, &12and a dog named Koda and a cat named Blue. Love to run and be outside. I believe that if you think you can do it and you work hard enough any thing is possible. Life flashes by in the blink of an eye, enjoy it while it last and remember there is a lot more to life than running. I coach high school swim and love it!

Short report-Happy with a pr still not feeling the freshest but better so I will take it. Stuck with my plan of starting out alittle easier and then cranking it down.

My game plan and goal for today was to start out at an easier avg. pace then I would end up with and to stay storger at the end. I think I did pretty well at that. Warmed up with Marci and Michelle at the start and stretched. Ran the fisrt little bit with Bruce and Melanie, Bruce backed down after 2 miles and Mel went ahead about mile 5 so I was on my own. Started the race not really feeling fresh, middle felt alittle better but not great and end was hard but was determind to finish better than Provo half. Splits by miles markers

1-6:40 Good start just what I wanted

2-6:17

3-6:22

4-6:12

5-6:24

6-6:27 Feeling pretty good with this but know the work begins. Took my gu at 6.5

7-6:45

8-6:05 I think this mile was short, on the path with the rollers.

9-6:49

10-6:54

11-6:59 feeling the wheels coming off, but digging deep to finish strong. This mile starts with that leg killer hill. uggg

12-6:53

13-7:02 darn wanted all sub-7's

.1-.46

All in all I am happy with today. Ankle is sore, kind of wonder if I am getting some tendonitis in it. Hope it ok.

Congrats on a big PR even though you don't feel 100%. Looks like you're over your mini-slump from a few weeks ago. SGM will be great.

Nice job today!

From Kelli on Sat, Aug 23, 2008 at 15:07:58

Wow! Awesome time and even when you were not feeling so hot! I am so happy that you beat your Provo time, I remember how unhappy you were with that. I was thinking of you at the start and sent good vibes your way.

From jona on Sat, Aug 23, 2008 at 15:19:41

Great PR, especially on tired legs. Even faster times are in your future!

From MichelleL on Sat, Aug 23, 2008 at 15:46:34

Great job Josse! You are learning the toughest part of racing (imo) - staying tough in the second half. You deserved a great race and you raced it today!

From Superfly on Sat, Aug 23, 2008 at 16:06:36

Great race today. Glad you had a better go at it then at Provo 1/2. Everyone gets a perfect race sometime and you'll get it when it counts.

From Andy on Sat, Aug 23, 2008 at 16:14:00

Great job. You deserved to have a great race because of all of the hard work you have been putting in.

From amber on Sun, Aug 24, 2008 at 10:41:16

Congratulations Josse! I was SOOO happy to see you at the start. I feel like I've been isolated from all my running friends; it was to see you and the rest of the group. I'm glad you are feeling a little better. Great job on your PR!!

From jtshad on Sun, Aug 24, 2008 at 10:41:51
