Personal:

I live in Midway, UT with my wife and dog.  I got into running after deciding to run a marathon in 2006(I was going to run a half, but my girlfriend at the time convinced me to run the full), and have been hooked on competitive running ever since.  I really enjoy the training aspect and staying healthy, but I am trying to get a more competitive attitude.  I also like to snowboard, bike, and hang with my girl in the beautiful mountains.

Another 10 degree day, but high humidity made it feel a lot colder.  Was gonna shoot for 11 to 12 miles today, but can't control the weather.  Decided to do the US 189 loop instead.

Cold 10 degrees today.  Legs didn't have as much pop as I'd hoped after yesterday's workout, so just cruised up 100S and around the neighborhoods.  finished around the block of Griffin's loop.  Did some push-ups and planks before heading out.

30 push-ups, planks, side-planks, bridge, & one-legged bridge,

Out & back to Potter ln on the farm roads.  Had light snow coverage of about an inch, but wasn't slippery.  I had a nice surprise @ mile 7 when a tractor passed going the opposite direction that was plowing and grading the road!  It was nice to finish on smoothly packed dirt. : )
