Run until I die. Personal: I love to run. Most days, it is the difference between a good day and a great day. And on those days that aren't so good, a nice long run helps me to relax and remember what is important to me.
I'm an attorney, but frankly, I don't like most lawyers. I don't care about money or social status. Fortunately, I found my dream job as a prosecutor. As such, I spend most of my time in court trying to achieve a resolution that will have the best impact on our community.
I've been married to my best friend, Jennifer, since 2003. I like to think she has made a decent man out of the boy she married. We have 3 amazing children. They are the joy of my life. |

| I went for a run at lunchtime up City Creek Canyon. I haven't run longer than 4 miles in a while so it felt good to push myself just a little bit. |

| I went for a run up City Creek Canyon at lunchtime today. I went just a little bit further today. The last month has been really difficult to train, but I really want to commit to my training. |

| I ran with the FRB crew for the first time and had a lot of fun. I have Scott Keate to thank for introducing me to the group and this blog. I was surprised at how much it helped to run with the group. I've always been kind of a loner when it came to training, but it was a great source of motivation to see all of the other runners. I had not run longer than 6 miles in the past month so I cut the run short but I met my goal for the day, finishing in 1:40. I was surprised at how good I felt. It definitely seemed like some of the strength training helped. Although my back was sore later in the day, I didn't have any problems while I was running. |

| I swam 2500 yards in 49 minutes before running 6 miles on the treadmill. I warmed up for 1 mile and then I increased the speed three times until I began to really exert myself. I felt really good considering I had run 14 miles on Saturday. I tried to focus on a quick turnover, which is the first thing that goes when I start to get tired. |

| I went for a run up City Creek Canyon at lunchtime today. I tried to take it easy, to let my legs rest up for a longer run tomorrow. |

| Swam 2500 yards in 48 minutes tonight. I felt really tired when I started, but I am getting more and more comfortable at this distance. I just hope that it translates into faster times at shorter distances in open water. |

| Late afternoon run up City Creek Canyon. It will be my last run there for a while because of the office move. I feel like the Canyon has been such a big part of my running over the last couple of years. It was a little sad to pass the gate at Memory Grove and head back into downtown. |

| Went for a run on the Jordan River Parkway with a small group from Lehi. The pace was brisk on the way out, but I didn't bring any fluids or nutrition with me and I started to feel the effects of nutrient loss and dehydration around Mile 12. I was by myself on the way back so I didn't slow anyone down, but I definitely bonked the last two miles. I still finished in about 2:03, so nothing to complain about, but I definitely need to figure out my nutrition. I usually feel great until 1:30 into a long run, which is why I am a much better half marathon runner than marathoner. When I jump up to the marathon, I can't maintain the same pace. I've always thought it was a training issue or a health issue, but I'm starting to think it's nutrition deficiencies. Any comments regarding nutrition would be greatly appreciated. Keep in mind that I have a very fast metabolic rate, and I consume a lot more calories than I can count in a day. I'm mainly looking for foods that are easily digestible while running. I've used GU and other similar products and I am not convinced that they make a significant difference in my performance. Looking forward to another 2500 yard swim tonight after the kids go to bed. It should be a lot slower than earlier in the week, but this week mark my best swim mileage ever and my best run mileage in about 6 months. Something to celebrate! |

| I swam 2500 yards in 47:30 and I felt really good. My endurance is improving with each swim. and although my technique isn't great, I don't feel as sore or tired after a swim, which I can only assume means that I am using the right muscles. After my swim I jumped on the treadmill and ran 5 miles in 34 minutes. I felt good about that considering my plan was to take it easy. I think I just like running fast too much to ever really take it easy. |

| I had to wait until this evening to get a run in so I logged these on the treadmill. I ran an easy mile to warm up and then I played with my speed for the next 5 miles. I ran the 5 miles in 33 minutes and I felt really good. |

| I swam 2500 yards in 46:30. I felt really good especially during the middle portion of my swim. I was really happy with my effort level. I didn't get any faster during the swim, but I maintained the same speed throughout. |
