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 felt really good after my long run yesterday, but I wasn't sure what to expect today. The first mile was pretty difficult, but after that I ran at 7:15 pace for the next 7 miles. Now I just have to get another 54 miles over the next 6 days.

Really fast run around the lake.  I was surprised how quick the run was given the long run on Saturday.

Went to Brody's track meet tonight.  He won his heat in the 50 m and came in third in the 400 m.  He also competed in the "softball throw."  He made the first two throws with his right hand and then switched to his left hand.  Between the 50 m and the 400 m, I went for a quick 5 mile run.  After the meet, I ran another 5 miles at a much easier pace. Legs felt really  tired and I had some issues with my feet too,  A little surprised because yesterday was a rest day after a really difficult stretch.

Legs felt a little better today, but I really had to work hard. Ran at a good clip up City Creek Canyon and kept a really fast pace on the way back down.

Legs felt really tired today.  Can't wait to finish this week.  Nice easy pace up City Creek Canyon. Luckily, no one saw me when I totally freaked out about a large snake right next to me along the side of the road.  I was a little nervous the rest of the run.  Of course as soon as I stopped paying attention, and moved over to avoid some walkers, I almost stepped on another snake.  I mentioned that I like animals in a post the other day.  We even own a reptile, but snakes in the wild are not my favorite.

My pace was easy but it took a lot of effort to complete this run. It was really warm in the morning and my body was tired from the last two weeks. I suffered a lot, but I survived.
