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!

Went out after the kids went to school, out and back to the provo trail.  Felt surprisingly good considering how dead I was after saturday.  Came home and did 20 mins on the bike and 10 on the elliptical.

Got up early to get in a couple miles before I met the girls.  Julie was the only one who showed so we ran fairly easy up the canyon and picked it up on the way back to sub-8 pace but nothing hard.  We were both tired.

Then instead of crosstraining I took my dog  up on the trails for a really easy 4 miles.  Was nice and cool in the mountains.

Ran by myself today after my kids went to school.  Wanted a good MP tempo run but wasn't sure how well I would do on my own with tired legs.  Warmed up about 3.5 and started running hard up the canyon which didn't feel great so I turned and did the rest headed down Provo canyon and finished passed Will's.  I made myself run until I got my pace down to a 7 on the last mile.

Took my dog up in the trails after my kids went to school.  This is the best time of year to go in the trails.  I love it.

Had a really good run.  Met McKenzie, Kent, and Shawn at the hobble finish and drove up to the 3 mile mark for a warmup.  Then ran to course with the goal in mind to run at least 10 good marathon pace miles.  Ended up running great through mile 10 and then thinking I was done pick up the pace more and more as we got to the finish.  Ended up running the course in 1:30:39 faster than the race 2 weeks ago, I just ran a nice even pace and was able to speed up on the harder section of the course where I slowed down.  The thing I noticed this time was I would really push the uphill section and not fade at the top and recover fast on the downhill side which I couldn't do in the race.
