Long-Term Running Goals: Just keep swimming...just keep swimming...but running. Personal:
I'm a happily married guy with a 5 year old son. I started running on February 1st, 2010 with the goal of completing a triathlon (my one and only "official" race prior to that was the "Centerville half mile fun run" when I was about 8) In that following year I lost nearly 50 lbs, completed the triathlon, numerous 5Ks, 10Ks, bike races, and really started to lean towards running over the other two (though I still cross train with both).
I grew up hiking and riding horses in the mountains, so I've been drawn to take my running to the trails - and haven't looked back! I run them every chance I get, which is about 90% of the time!

| Last day of the year run with my brother Aaron. Hit the BST in Kaysville to Fernwood and back. It's been a while since I've been on that trail. Snowy, but well packed. I broke my spikes a week or so ago on Olympus so I didn't have any, but it was actually just fine, maybe just a little slower. Incidentally, since I bought the spikes from Backcountry I can just send them back (100% lifetime guarantee on everything) and have ordered a new pair. Easy Peasy. Love those guys. |

| Ave twins with Jun, Scott and je10, with MVH catching up to us a bit later. Started off COLD. The run on the road in City Creek canyon was brutal, my fingers were frozen in a matter of minutes and I was wondering how miserable this was going to be. Once we hit the trail and got a little higher though, the temps really warmed up, at least a few degrees. I didn't have a chance to eat anything for breakfast, so my energy was feeling pretty low on the climbs. Luckily no wind, with spectacular view of the night sky with numerous shooting star sightings. Hit the top in 1:05 and chatted on the summit a bit before heading down. On the steep section down I couldn't help myself and just blasted through the powder and had a great time cruising down. Got back to my car which kindly told me that is was 4 degrees. Brrrr... |

| Was hoping for a longer run today, but opted rather for some trail breaking up in the hills. Time and effort was about the same as a longer run! Aaron and I started at Davis Creek in Farmington and went up to Hell Hole. No trail once you fork off the Pretty Valley trail, so it was all breaking trail. Did come across some snowshoe tracks once the trail met up with the other part of the PV trail. Followed those up to Hell Hole, which was pretty awesome this time of year, lots of frozen water. Followed the tracks up and over towards pretty valley with about a half mile out and back detour to "Prayer Rock". Made it down to pretty valley and then completed the loop back. Slow and steady, but had a great time on a gorgeous day. |
