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 had a fun time running on the trails south of City Creek Canyon. I wish I could have kept running all afternoon, but I had to return to work. I consider myslef lucky to have such amazing trails so close to the office.

| I told myself I wouldn't look at my watch at all today. My goal was to take it easy and enjoy the miles. I accomplished that part, but I did check out my watch while waiting at a light at 8.4 miles. Considering the difficult headwind that I had encountered for the past 4 miles I was surprised that I was under 61 minutes. I lengthened my stride and ran with a little more purpose until I arrived home at 11 miles. Then I took the dog for a jaunt around the neighborhood.

| I called in sick today, but I was really just sick of work. Fortunately, I don't have too much going on this week, so I didn't miss anything important. We went to breakfast with the kids and then we visited the zoo. It was an enjoyable day together. Then I ran around the lake. I tried to take it easy and just run nice and slow, but I ran about 7:10 pace anyway. It was extremely windy for the third or fourth day in a row. I think that makes it difficult to run easy since you are forced to combat the wind for half of the run and the other half you are practically gliding.

| Lunchtime run up City Creek Canyon. Pain in my left hip was worse after my run was over. I need to ice it tonight. Hopefully, I can enjoy my long trail run tomorrow.

| I planned to do a long trail run yesterday, but it rained really hard and my hip was still hurting so I took the day off. I felt a little better today. I ran up City Creek,but I really took it easy on the way back. |

| I ran on the trails up City Creek Canyon with Wojciech and Rich from the public defender's office. The route was described in terms that violate the "family friendly" policy of this blog and the description was accurate. For about 1.25 miles we climbed what felt like a stairway. It was a lot of fun. We ran the trail along the ridgeline back toward the mouth of the canyon and then dropped down behind The Cove above Capitol Hill. The loop that we ran together was 5.75 miles and it was a little more than 2 miles from my office to our starting point. |

| I was kind of dreading this run today. My legs were tired from a grueling trail run yesterday and I wasn't going to get out there until the late afternoon. To my surprise, I had a great run. It wasn't too fast, but I ran the first half in just over 54 minutes and I ran the back half in just over 54 minutes. I was expecting something closer to 60 minutes and when I started out fast I was worried about bonking. Fortunately, I kept getting stronger. My fastest mile was at Mile 14. I noticed that I wasn't breathing hard throughout the run which is a great sign that my increased miles are helping my endurance. |

| I felt really tight for the first mile, but I loosened up quickly. I ended up running faster than I planned, but I didn't strain myself. I ran one loop around the lake and another mile with the dog. |

| I was stuck in court all day yesterday and I met up with friends after work, so I burned a rest day. Not a big deal, since this week is a recovery weak. Still, I hate to skip a day. I ran my usual lunchtime run up Çity Creek. I ran together with a guy named Shawn and we had a nice conversation. It has been really nice to run with other people, lately. |

| The first 10 miles went great, but I really struggled to finish this long run. Ran an even split thanks to a fast couple of miles between 8 and 10. I don't think the pace was the problem. More than likely my caloric intake before my run was the problem. |

| Monday is becoming my de facto rest day due to exhaustion from work. Yesterday,I was dealing with a cold too, so I just tried to rest so I would feel better today. I ran the Virginia Loop and I felt a little tired when I started, but it was so nice and warm outside that I loosened up quickly and my lungs cleared out. I felt better when I finished than when I started. |

| Ran to the top of the ridge above City Creek again. I had some trouble breathing and had to walk a little bit on the way up, but otherwise I had a great run. I think I will call this the Cove Loop. |

| AM (8 miles) - Went for a run early this morning around the lake. Tried to take it easy, but I sped up after a couple of miles and pushed the pace until the last couple of miles.
PM (10 miles) - Ran in the rain. Felt slow and tired the first couple of miles, but I warmed up quickly and kept a fast pace throughout the second half of the run.

| Last night I consumed about as much food as one person can in one evening and I had plenty to drink. Still fet pretty tired this afternoon when I got out for a run. Maintained a fairly even pace. Sped up a little the last couple of miles with the help of a strong tailwind.

| I went for a long trail run up City Creek Canyon. I ran up the trail on the south side of the Canyon that ends up behind the Avenues. It was a beautiful, warm day full of sunshine. I brought water and some nutrition along to keep from dehydrating and bonk. I wish I could run like this every single day of my life. Maybe someday...

| Lunchtime run up City Creek Canyon. I took it easy except for Mile 4 when a cyclist passed me and I decided to try and keep pace on the uphill. Mission accomplished.
