Running Accomplishments:

Once beat Cheryl at the Hobble Creek Half Marathon about three years ago, and kept up with Peggy for 100m four years ago. Completion of 52 marathons to date.

I enjoy the marathon distance. It demands consistency in training and provides a constant goal to work towards. Could not run without the support of my great family and friends. 

Short-Term Running Goals:

Stay healthy would be the number one goal. To accomplish this long-term feat I need to cross-train and add strength training into the mix.

Long-Term Running Goals:

Someday I would like to qualify for Boston although at the moment it seems very tough!

Personal:

Love running, music, art, food, friends and family in no particular order it just depends on the day.

Today was a great running day. I finally got enough sleep the night before to not feel like an absolute wreck while running. I ended up taking some Celebrex for my ribs. There is a good chance that they may be cracked and can take up to six weeks to heal but I am pretty confident that there are no internal injuries. I wouldn't be able to run if there were.

I met the BBK's this moring and I was blown away by the how many people came out. I counted at least 22 and we were even missing a few regulars. (Like my buddy Cheryl) We ran some 2 mile repeats and felt fairly strong although I could tell that we ran some long inclines. Peggy always does a great job at picking out unique run with very challenging workouts. She makes us work hard but provides a lot of motivation too.

I was able to run with Rachel for a while and visit. Also, was able to visit with Kelli, Alan, Kimberly, Dean, Debbie and a host of others.

In the afternoon I ended up running up the canyon. It was very busy. I can tell a lot of people are starting to get serious about their marathon training

Eric-thanks for hanging back with me this morning! I had a great couple splits around 8 mm but most were 9-9:30. You must've done another nice run up the canyon? Or did you conquer the capitol hill?!?

Great mileage Mr Eric! How are the ribs?

So, are you and Alan coming this Saturday? Just wondering who I am watching for!

Kelli,

As for Saturday I would like to do the Lehi route but need to check with the family schedule. I will probably put in 10 miles and try to be home by 10:00am

Sounds good. Saturdays get hard with kids and sports and stuff!

Oh,hey, I have been meaning to ask you when the baby is due and WHAT it is (if you know)??? I have not talked to you much and have so many questions!

And thanks for the nice compliments, I am testing the waters this week to see if the injury is FINALLY healed. What, it only took a little over 3 months!

Kelli,

My family is expecting a little boy to come in the middle of May. Right at the beginning of all things Marathon. We are really excited and we are in the process of getting the nursery ready. So much to do and so little time.

From Kelli on Fri, Feb 06, 2009 at 16:48:00

Yeah, a boy!!! So, how many of each do you have? And how far apart will this little guy be from the last child? Fun stuff, I love babies. I will come hold him anytime---let your wife know!
