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 ran to the top of Ensign Peak on my lunch. Given that I was really feeling the altitude, I was surprised to see that I made it to the summit in under 30 minutes. Of course the return trip was only about 20 minutes, but I was excited to find out that I was running uphill at a much faster pace than I thought/felt.

| I ran the Virginia Loop today. I was pushing hard throughout the run. Unfortunately, my knee felt pretty sore afterward. I think I need to plan ahead and run more easy miles.

| I ran up City Creek Canyon to the 1 Mile Post. I ran on the trails for a couple of miles and focused on trying to relax and take it easy. It was really nice fall weather.

| Easy miles might be an exaggeration, but I was not pushing myself, so I guess it fits. Today I ran an out-and-back up City Creek Canyon to the 3 mile marker. I followed the single track on the north side of the road, and I had a blast. I wish I could run single track every day for the rest of my life. If you're reading this and you've never run City Creek, you should definitely check out the trails in the vicinity.

| I was feeling pretty sore last night, but I got up this morning to run with my dad around the lake. We went nice and slow, but I was happy to reach my mileage goal for the week.

| My knees are feeling a little weak after a lot of trail running last week. Today I stuck to the road up City Creek Canyon. I turned around at the 1 Mile sign. It was a lot colder than last week, but I was happy to be running. I need to remember to run more miles at an easy pace as I build up my mileage base.

| Got to run in the mud today. Hit the trails up City Creek Canyon and it warmed up, which was nice, but the trail was pretty slippery. I avoided falling, but there were a couple of sketchy spots. Really I had a blast, and I have the mud caked on my shoes to prove it.

| I didn't think I would be able to hit my mileage goal this week, but I figured if I squeezed in a couple of miles today, then I would have a chance. I took some Ibuprofen right after my run yesterday and my knees felt good to go today. I took it nice and easy up City Creek.

| I wanted to run early this morning, but I got to coach Brody's Junior Jazz game. It was so much fun. I put off running for a little bit since my knees were a little sore, but I finally got around to it. I started off hoping to take it easy and finish in 80 minutes. But once I got out there my legs loosened up and I felt really good. Around the halfway point I had covered most of the challenging miles, and I knew I would be under 75, so I decided to run hard to the finish. I finished in 71:40. I was surprised how fresh I felt. Miles 8-9 were the fastest at about 6:35 pace. Maybe I can run fast again... Considering there was a really cold rain (some hail), lots of wind, and snow only a thousand feet higher, this might have been the run to get me back on track. Either way I hit 30 miles in a week for the first time since my knee injury in July! And that is great news. Twelve days until the new year and the beginning of my goal to run 1500 miles in a year!

| Tried to take it easy up City Creek Canyon. I got a little carried away on the steepest section,, but I felt so good on three day's rest that I had to push it.

| I planned to run a bit farther today, but I enjoyed Christmas morning with my family and I ate a lot of brunch. It snowed last night so the sidewalks were slippery, and I found out we were heading out of town earlier than I had planned. It was really cold outside, so I enjoyed my new headband and gloves. Everything combined to make this a short, fast run.

| I ran on the treadmill today to avoid the icy sidewalks and paths around my home. I took it really easy. Just getting in the miles for the week.

| It was really cold today (sub 30 degree temps). I planned to take it easy and enjoy the miles, which is exactly what I did. Perfect run to end the week.

| It snowed alot in the last 24 hours, so I went for a run on the dreaded treadmill. I warmed up for 2 miles, before running a 6:00 mile. Then I cooled down for a half mile before running a 6:40 mile. Then I eased off the gas and ran a mile-and-a-half cool down. It was a good start to the week despite the treadmill.

| I put in a lap around the lake today. The temperature was in the high teens, but I felt really comfortable running with my new headband and gloves on. There was about 4-6 inches of snow on the sidewalks and paths. I found it easier to run in the unblemished snow than in the tracks of other runners/walkers/skiers. Still, it was quiite a struggle. Since I wasn't in a hurry, I just enjoyed myself.

| Another easy run on the treadmill today. It was a lot busier at the gym, but I guess it's that time of year. I would rather be outside, but the paths were really icy today. The last couple of miles I felt my lower right calf tighten. Tomorrow is a rest day, so hopefully it will be nice and loose by then. I stretched carefully, took some Ibuprofen when I got home and I iced it, so I have done what I can. Now I get to celebrate the new year with some great friends. To everyone reading this, Happy New Year to you! |
