MOAB

On Friday I ran a 5k. The End
Daily Mileage = 3.1
Yearly Mileage = 406.2

Saturday I woke up in Moab and did my 5k before the mtn. biking which was a excellent decision on my part. I ran on the highway there and even from a highway the scenery is breathtaking.
Daily Mileage = 3.1
Yearly Mileage = 409.3

Today was the 119th Boston Marathon. This is one of my dream races to do in life.
I ran 8 miles today and it was awesome. Holladay Blvd.. is a great road to run when you get the chance.
Daily Mileage = 8
Yearly Mileage = 417.3

I have also thought deeply about training and doing the Des. News Marathon again this year. I just can't stop thinking how bad I want to do this race.

Just another spring day in Utah

Yesterday was so crazy snowy. It snowed ALL day!! I almost did not do my run, but my wife talked up how fun it would be to run in the snow. Yeah fun.......I thought. I went out and actually loved every wet step. Do to the fact that I wanted to get it done I ran my 5k really fast, 19:11, to be exact. It was a lot of fun. I was surprised I did not see anyone else out there.
Daily Mileage = 3.1
Yearly Mileage = 403.1

This is exactly how it was. Happy spring!?!
Today was totally opposite of yesterday! I ran in shorts and a t-shirt. I did a good route with a really long steady hill (4500 S.) it is fun cause if you did not know what goes up must come down!!
Daily Mileage = 4
Yearly Mileage = 407.1

400 Miles

Today I hit the 400 mile mark for the year!! It is pretty fun to keep track of my miles like this. It was so crazy windy when I did it. The BOB felt like a parachute. I tried to measure what is 400 miles from Salt Lake and I found that from the boarder of Idaho to Arizona across Utah is like 357 miles. So I have ran farther than the distance of Utah plus some.
Daily Mileage = 3.1
Yearly Mileage = 400

Always an Adventure

Running always seems to be an adventure. No matter what time or what route you run there is always something that is interesting. Today I ran and I got lost....twice. I ended up at a cemetery. I had to turn around and go up another street. That too caused me to get lost. I finally found my bearings and got on the right route. because of my crazy route my route ended way before my house so I walked for a while. It was really nice. I saw some streets I would like to run on tomorrow and see where they go.
Daily Mileage = 6
Yearly Mileage = 396.9
Tomorrow I hit the 400 mile mark. I just have to run a 5k for it to be official. That is pretty cool how that worked out. I did not even mean for it to work out that way.

Another Week

Thursday I had a route in mind, but my legs had another even shorter route in mind. Sometimes you have to just listen to your body.
Daily Mileage = 3.1
Yearly Mileage = 382.8

Friday I did not have alot of desire or time to run, but i did it anyway.
Daily Mileage = 3.1
Yearly Mileage = 385.9

Today I woke up early and got the run done before work. It was a really nice morning and I did a new extension of one of my previous routes. I saw my brother-in-law at a intersection. He said nothing to me and gave me no motivation except for a wave. Thanks for the boost adam. The least someone in his situation could have done is go to the nearest gas station or K-mart....and buy me a gad dang Gatorade. That is just my opinion though.
Daily Mileage = 5
Yearly Mileage = 390.9

Oh can I just rant about Super Dull Schanze and his fanny pack. Who does that yoo hoo think he is?

New Runs

Since we moved at the end of last month it has made me do a lot of new routes. It is crazy how new a place is when I only moved 3 miles away. Well I guess 3.1 miles away because I did run to our old place yesterday. It is nice to still have my "Go To" routes as well, the starting and finish line are just different.
This is how I feel half way through class most of the time.
Thursday I did a oldie but a goodie. This route use to be only done when I had a half marathon to run. Now at our new place it makes for a great 10k.
Daily Mileage = 6.2
Yearly Mileage = 356.1

Friday I ran straight down the road to my in laws neighborhood and around that to pick up my car that my wife had left there.
Daily Mileage = 3.1
Yearly Mileage = 359.2

Saturday was so busy. I woke up late and had to go to work and after that I had to mow a couple lawns. I had priesthood session after that. So late that night I walked a 5k with my mom. It was really fun to be back in my old neighborhood and do one of the routes that I did in high school.
Daily Mileage = 3.1
Yearly Mileage = 362.3

Monday I ran roughly 5 miles on a new route. Part of it was at Murray park. I love that park, it is not to busy and really pretty.
Daily Mileage =5ish
Yearly Mileage = 367.3
I will use my new Garmin 10 to measure it exactly in the next couple of days.


I saw "that" guy doing this yesterday.
Tuesday I ran to our old house and it was fun. I again ran one of my regular routes. The cool thing about this run was that it was with my new Garmin. I ran really fast. I was surprised I kept the pace I did. That is why I like running with new things. Even with pushing my pacer in the BOB I kept a quick pace.
Daily Mileage = 6.2
Yearly Mileage = 373.5

My new virtual pacer.
Wednesday- Well I have not done my run yet. Looking out my window I can see snow falling. So I will run at my mother-in-laws house on the T-mill. I will do it! That's why I am blogging about it now. I will run 6.2 miles.
Daily Mileage = 6.2
Yearly Mileage = 379.7

I get this compliment a lot and I am proud of it.
I do not however endorse that lame logo in the corner.
