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.

Actually set the alarm and went running before work this morning.  I have continued to hike the hills bow hunting the last bit so my spare time has been spent in the mountains.  Hunt is over for now so back to running.  Went to the dirt road from the rodeo grounds.  Took it nice and easy for myself and my dog.  AP 8:59

Felt ok but did not push the pace or distance at all.

Four miles along the rock four wheeler trails up to the hot pots and then along the power lines.  It will continue...

Spent the night with the 3rd Graders for their overnight field trip to Gooseberry.  I took my son and his two friends on a hike to the infamous "Annie Bang's" cabin.

Five miles south of town on the rolling dirt road.  Pretty sad when five miles in my long run anymore...

Started at the mouth of the canyon went south along the canal trail then headed up the mountain after a mile and looped up and back around then back to the car then headed up the canyon to make it at least three miles.  Good climb and fun run this morning.  I was planning on just running up the canyon road but felt some soreness and knew I couldn't trust myself to not run fast back down the canyon and potentially do some damage now I am building again...

Last Sat. was the youth duck hunt so I brought my son and a neighbor kid out.  Hiked a few miles in the marsh with a heavy pack full of decoys and other items.  Good workout but not a run.  Ran the canal trail again this morning.  I need to build my lungs and legs back up and these flatter runs are helping as you can still get some turnover without killing your legs.

Another four miler just building base.  Ran on the canyon road up Monroe for two miles then back down again.  Tried to keep it relaxed on the way down.

Another four miler, this time on the roads around my house as I slept in and it is the opener of the muzzleloader hunt so I didn't want to interupt anyone's hunt running around the mountain.   Run went fairly well AP 7:48, it has been hard to judge where I am at fitness wise as I have been running trails so much.  Just got to keep building up my base again...

Went along the power line trail from the hot springs.  Pretty good run, I believe my lungs are starting to come back.  Pretty dark at the beginning, but was able to maintain a pretty good pace for the terrain and darkness.

Did a new loop around town, from the house towards the rodeo grounds up the dirt road on 800 south then back down the dirt roads back into town.  Nice loop, I expected it to be farther than what it was.  AP: 8:03

Brought my 11yr old scouts to the Fall Camporee.  We spent the morning doing a 5 mile compass course.  I thought it was closer to four miles actually.

Parked at the Jr. High then ran up past the mystic hot springs up the slot canyon.  Good trail run with my dog this monring.  Came out and looped around the elk farm and back to the truck.

Went to the dirt road from Bishops with the dog.  Nice run this morning.  I came to the realization I need to lose some pounds now when my mileage is still lower.  Once my training ramps up I get too hungry and it is hard to lose much.  If I can just be disciplined for two or so weeks I should be able to get to about where I need then just maintain from there.
