Married with three boys. Ran the Odgen Marathon in honor of my mother, a marathoner, who passed away from cancer and it just had continued from there. Grew up in a running family and have fallen in love with running, especially on trails.

Nice run this morning on the JRP trail starting at the iron bridge headed south. I threw in 10 sprints of about 100 yards on the way back. AP for the run was exactly 8:00. Still some pain in my right shin area.  It seems to be worse on hills so I will try to keep to the flats for most of this week. 

Got Ragnar this weekend, I am excited to run it with my wife.

12 miles from the iron bridge south on the JRP.  Woke up nice and early to get this one in this morning.  My tummy was having issues for most of the run.  Nice morning for a run.  Legs are feeling fatigued.  Didn't push the pace just plodded along, 8:24AP.  I have Ragnar this weekend, I don't think I will push it too hard there, my right shin has been giving me issues if I push the pace too much.

Went from the house this morning down to the canal trail, up the canal trail, to the dirt road, up into the foothills, then turned around and did it all over again.  Good recovery run AP 8:47, just enjoying the scenery.  I think I got two other neighbors to train with for the St. George Marathon.  After Ragnar this weekend we should coordinate some runs together.  I've been running by my lonesome for a while now.

Ran the Ragnar Wastach Back, I was runner 1, our start time was 5:15.  My first leg was 7.8 miles.  Miles were as follows: 7:12,8:44,6:54,6:49,6:58,7:12,7:09,last .68 7:32  AP 7:18, got out to an early lead this leg, kept the lead the whole leg and passed 40 something from the first leg which started earlier.  The second mile was uphill heading to the Bonneville shoreline trail, got some nice trail miles after that until we dropped back into the streets.  Legs felt pretty good.

Second Leg #13:  Started at Snowbasin, first half mile or so was uphill on a ski run, then dropped some serious downhill the rest of the way.  Total distance 8.52  Miles: 8:20,6:48,6:49,6:55,6:48,6:41,6:27,6:47, last .51 6:59. AP 6:57 Got some good tempo miles in this run, however my shin which has been bugging me the last couple weeks did not appreciate this one.  The other teams were very stretched out by this time, other runners were few and far between, there were only about 20 or so teams ahead of us at this point.

I had a lot of fun running with my wife, she did great and I was proud of her efforts to train and prepare for the event.  We were not a competive team so it was nice to just enjoy the time together.

My last leg on the Wasatch Ragnar Relay. LEG 25 (I think) mostly flat 5 miles, the downhill miles really took a toll on my right shin the night before. Triedto enjoy the run, no garmin, no music, just the stars.  Didn't kill myself, AP 7:49, the Ibuprofin must have kicked in. 

Hopefully I didn't do too much damage to my body on this "fun run"  As it sits a few hours after the run my legs are more sore already than after my marathon.  It really was good to run with my wife and friends and neighbors.  We had a really chill team and everyone was great.  Team WAIT'N - Wandering Aimlessly in the Night
