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.

I couldn't take it any more and decided to test the foot out on a run this afternoon.  My foot actually felt really good so I am very encouraged by this.  I still did not push it very much so I don't know how it will respond to more mileage but for now I am happy.  1st mile 8:41, testing it out, 2nd mile 8:14, still good, 3rd mile 7:36 still feeling good.  I was very tempted to keep cranking out some quality miles but with the Ogden Marathon so close I will play it smart for now.  Got back to the house and pumped up the tires on the mountain bike and went back out for a 30 minute ride.  If I am not getting the mileage in at least I am getting in the time my workouts call for.  I've got to keep the faith my past workouts will carry me through.  It was nice a toasty outside this afternoon, felt good to sweat a bit.
