Personal:

I was born in 1979 and grew up in Mona Utah. I have a beautiful wife (Allison) and a very cute three year old boy (Jaren). We live in American Fork and I am a Health, Science, and PE teacher at Oquirrh Hills Middle School in Riverton. I coach Track and Cross Country at Riverton High. My running often takes a back seat to my coaching.

I think Sasha and hot pink shorts are the bomb!

Go pinky!!

I needed a long run today so I went out on my own to get it done. The weather was good at first with a few sprinkles here and there. I ran by the hospital and Temple, up around Lone Peak high, and into Alpine. I got a drink at the park and used the bathroom then headed up the road to Sliding Rock through all of the huge houses. I turned around when the pavement ended at 10 miles, then started to head back. I grabbed another drink at the park and headed toward the canyon. When I got close to AF canyon it started to rain and hail. I went up the big hill going into Cedar Hills and got some relief for a mile or so. I grabbed another drink at the Cedar Hills park, and the weather got worse as I headed for PG and AF. It started to hail pretty hard and there was no where to take shelter so I just kept going. The rain and hail pelted me for a couple of miles and I was glad to get within a mile of home, so I pushed out a good last mile so I could finish up. I actually had a pretty good run other than the last 5 miles because of the weather, although it did seem like it took a lot longer than the time it took me. 2:25:14 for the run.

(2130- 210.5 miles)

I am not sure? Are you doing it?

From josse on Sep 01, 2008 at 16:22:00

Ya I think so, I will just use it as a good tempo in the middle of a long run.

Nice job on the long run. Good luck at the SF half. Keep running strong!

Nice long run early in the week. It's nice to get those done early in the week sometimes so they aren't hanging over you head every day.

Money in the bank. See you tomorrow!
