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.

| 8 miles in Provo. Came down with Conner to pick up his packet for the half marathon tomorrow. Ran 4 miles up the marathon course, from the finish and back. Nice and slow, not keeping track of time. Fun run. Taking tomorrow off before hitting it harder next week. |

Weight lifting - Sports Academy. Really time to start cutting weight. Been eating way to much lateley and not running that much. Weighed in at 204.8 this morning. Starting to track calories today. We'll see how it goes. :-) |

12 miles up and down Smithfield Canyon. Nice and easy run. 7:45/mile average pace. Met Conner going up when I was coming down about at mile 9. He went up some more and caught me when I hit mile 10. Saw Paul going up. Conner stopped and waited for me at the Golf Course hill and we ran a bit together. Fun times, nice day!
Next week I'll start ramping up again on the miles, and continue working on diet.

8 miles up and down Smithfield Canyon. 7:38/mile average pace. Good jog.
Had a little problem eating too much over the weekend. My wife is too good of a cook...it is too hard to push away from the table and eat less calories. We'll see how this week goes. |

| 7 miles up and down Smithfield Canyon again. Nice run, felt good. I created a "course" from the same 7 mile run of Smithfield Canyon I did a while back, selected the course on my Garmin, and raced against myself on the previous run. It was fun. Also a nice morning to run, some clouds, and a little sprinkling... 7:18 average/mile.

| 8 miles up and down Smithfield Canyon again. 7:34/mile average pace. Smithfield Canyon is great. You are either going uphill or down -- hopefully good training for St. George... |

| 9 miles up and down Smithfield Canyon. 7:29/mile average. Some speed work on the way down. I've been creating courses from old runs on my Garmin and "racing" myself. Still running nice and easy. Fun stuff. |
