2009 First Dam Run - 41:37 Long-Term Running Goals: 1. Enjoy running 'til I drop dead - and put that off as long as possible.
2. Don't get burn out :-) Personal:
I herniated/ruptured a disk (L4/L5) in my back in December, 2005. I told my orthopedic surgeon I wanted to start running. He said "You'll never run again.". What a challenge! So...I started running.
Since then I've lost about 50 pounds, ran 13 marathons and a number of other races.
I am still a clydesdale runner (over 200 lbs), have a large frame, big bones, and not built like a runner at all. I'm not fast. I mostly run to have some time to myself and keep in shape.

| 6.28 miles with Conner and Claire. Nice and easy. It was a cold, somewhat icy run, but a beautiful New Years Morning.

| 6 easy miles out and back in North Logan at noon. 2 degrees (F) when I left, 0 degrees when I got back--interesting. Ran with a co-worker. Still icy and cold. Good run, he did it a second faster per mile than the last time I ran with him, and it was much colder...

| Couldn't run at noon as we had meetings. It was around -2 at 6:00 in the afternoon, so Claire and I went down to the Smithfield Rec Center and ran. 8.75 miles on a treadmill in 1 hour. 6:51/mile pace.

| Went down and watched Conner run at the Weber State University Invitational for High School. In between his events I was able to do a little running - 6 miles on an indoor track, 2 on a treadmill. |

| Super cold and the air quality was bad from the inversion, so I went to the Rec Center and ran 8 miles on a treadmill. 54:11, 6:46/mile AP. |

| Wasn't motivated to run today, but a co-worker called and wanted to go running at noon. To get out of the bad air with the inversion and all we drove up Logan canyon and did 5 miles at a 7:01/mile AP. Good run, felt great afterwards. |

6 in North Logan at 2:00 in the afternoon. 2 degrees F. Nasty cold dirty air. Still a good run, but took it nice and slow.
I figure if I am going to run every day I to do some good easy days... :-)

| 6.3 miles at noon in North Logan. Slush, Slush everywhere. Not too far into the run a truck gave me a nice slush shower--pretty sure it wasn't intentional, but my feet were slopping in my shoes from then on. Ran nice and easy - ~ 7:50/mile AP. Waiting for good weather. |

| This morning I threw my back out shoveling snow, but I was bent on going for a run anyway. 6 painful miles. I started out at doing a slow shuffle at about a 9:30 pace. After about a mile things actually started loosening up and I sped up a little. Still did the 6 miles in a 8:15 AP pace in the snow, slush and ice. Probably should have taken the day off but what the hey...

| 6 mile loop in North Logan/Logan at noon with Blake and John (co-workers). Ended up being a good run. Back still sore but the IBUProfen regiment over the last two and a half days has helped. 7:40/mile AP. |
