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 was out late working Friday night and came down with a cold so no run on Saturday.  Did work in the yard most of the day shoveling gravel and wheelbarrowing it around the yard.  Woke up this morning and still had a cold.  Decided to get some sleep rather that run.  Did a run for lunch went up red rock and up a side canyon criss crossing the swollen creek.  Could feel my lung congestion so I tried to run it out.  Always nice to get out...

Went to Bishops and headed out on the dirt roads,  headed up a new one around three miles (rifle range road) I will have to explore more when I have more time.  Run was nice, solitude with a beautiful sunrise.  AP 8:58 with terrain

Opened the garage door to head out and saw it was raining.  Turned around and was on the steps heading back inside the house when my dog was so excited to go running I couldn't let her down so we loaded up in the pathfinder and headed to the mouth of the canyon.  Went exploring again north of the canyon.  I have a better idea this time from my scamper around last week so I knew where to avoid the cliffs.  It was snowing about a half mile up and it was actually enjoyable to be out in it.  Followed two young bull elk up the mountain, they were both still packing antlers.  Good climb up and around just had to take it slow as there are no trails but game trails and you couldn't see the cactus very well with the inch or two of snow covering the ground.  Took some washes back down and made it out safetly.  I was glad I have a great running partner who didn't let a little rain and snow get in the way of having a good morning.

Good one with the dog up into Poverty Flats, ran up 7 miles the went back down.  I have never been that far in and I could see Marysville from the turnaround.  I will have to run all the way there one day and have someone pick me up.  Probably the longest run for the dog as she was chasing rabbits and prancing through the sage during the run.
