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 heard that the groundhog predicted a long winter today.  Obviously, s/he is an east coast groundhog. With how nice the weather has been lately, I don't care how long winter lasts.

Today I ran up City Creek Canyon.  I took it relatively easy, but I felt good so I just kept up a good pace.  I'm looking forward to an improvement over last week, now that I am feeling a little better.

Another warm, beautiful day.  I ran hard up to the bridge in City Creek Canyon, and then I took it easy on the way back down.

I went for a run on the trail up City Creek canyon today. I took it pretty easy for most of the run. Looking forward to a rest day tomorrow.

I ran my usual out-and-back up City Creek Canyon.  It was incredibly warm for winter. I still feel a little pain in my hip but I only noticed it twice during my run.

I was pretty dissatisfied with my run last week.   I felt great for 10 miles, but then I just ran out of energy.  So Jennifer  bought me some HEED and some energy gels to help me combat fatigue.

Today was a great training run. I was able to sustain a strong effort for the entire run.  I ran the same course as last week, but I finished 7 minutes faster.  I averaged 7 minutes per mile and finished in 1:38.  

I drank 36 ounces of fluid with 2 scoops of Heed and I sucked down two energy gels.  I started to feel tired aroung Mile 11 again, but I didn't lose any power or speed. Last week I really suffered on the last two hills, and this week I powered through both!
