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.

Another test run at Liberty Park, still some pain but I have been really needing some running time.  I am like a crack addict.  A little rain during the run but not too bad.  7:48 AP for the 3 miles.  We'll see how I feel in the morning.

Another day running in the rain at Liberty Park. Still just 3 miles. My groin pull is not hurting so bad, but my lower abs have had what feels like a tear for the past couple months. I have hesitated going to see the doctor. I hope is is not a hernia or something. I hoped not doing any ab work for a while it would go away but to no avail.

Felt good to run at least today, 1st lap 7:38 pace, 2nd 7:16 AP 7:29.

Waited until I got home from work to get a run in.  I almost stopped within the first 100 yds due to the pain in my lower abs.  Something is just not right.  Don't know if it was wise but kept going.  Just the standard 3 mile loop around the hood.  AP 8:09.

It was too icy this morning to run on the roads so I waited until Lunch. I was losing motivation quick watching the snow all day. Finally regrouped and headed to Liberty Park for a solo run. Just 3 miles as I am trying to recover from a recent injury.  I didn't feel half bad today, for sure I have a ways to go but some improvement.  Finished the 3 miles in exactly 24 minutes.  I ams so tempted to push it and it is killing me to see all these great runners getting together for long runs on the weekend.  Hopefully I can rebound quickly and not lose too much fitness or motivation.

Went with a group of guys from work to Liberty Park. Today was a day when I was actually feeling ok, hopefully I have turned the corner. Of course it was only three miles and not even marathon pace but still I'm optimistic. 1st lap with the guys 7:35, 2nd 7:09, AO 7:21

Decided to go for a further run this morning to check my progress from a recent injury set-back. Didn't feel too bad, kept the pace pretty steady about 8:05-8:10.  Picked up the pace the last mile to see how it felt.  Form was out of wack, but that was to be expected.  AP for the run 8:00 even.

Hopefully I can start training again gradually building back up my miles and in a few more weeks incorporate in some speed training.

 Also trying to get my goals I want to hit for 2013 in my head.  I have been brainstorming for a while now.

Woke up early this morning as I will be working 14 hours today and will not be able to get a run in later. I really need to schedule an appt. with my doctor. My lower abdominal region has been hurting since before the St. George Marathon and is not getting any better. This morning it hurt worse. Nothing special about this morning's run, but I was still out there at least.

Well, I took the past 2 plus weeks off of running. My body just wasn't healing and was getting worse. I had to swallow my pride and take some time off from running. I only did some short hikes and snowshoeing with the family.  Went on a short 3 mile run on the work treadmill during lunch.  Hard to tell how the progress is, still some slight pain there.  Hopefully I will heal up quickly and be able to get back to some real training.  I can feel myself slipping into a state of laziness although it was appreciated during the holidays.

Anyways Happy New Year to all....
