Running Accomplishments:

High school (in San Diego) I ran a 16:40 5k and a 4:33 mile. Have run 11 marathons.

PR - Ogden 2009 - 2:55:10

Haven't done a 5k or 10k or half in a long time. I just enjoy doing my regular daily runs and then hittin' the Marathons. I might slip in some shorter/faster races this year.

Short-Term Running Goals:

Drop some more weight (get down to 150), keep Pr'ing, and try to stay injury free. Get a 2:46:42 or better in a marathon - I wanna beat Lance's PR!!

Get out on more trails around the valley and enjoy the scenery.

Long-Term Running Goals:

Focus on marathons and possibly ultras? Keep healthy and lean.

Personal:

Married with 2.95 girls.

7.60 miles up/down provo canyon at easy 8:00/mile pace. pushing the girls in the stroller. Paying attention to calf. Felt it and was a little annoying while I ran, but took it slow enough that it didn't feel like I made it worse at all. Will try to ice a lot this week.

Matt, I'm assuming you are feeling good and ready to PR Ogden?

Are you still planning on Ogden? Good luck Sat. if you are.

Sorry, I just now realized I haven't replied to the first comment. I've been slacking (both in blogging and running). My Achillis is giving me fits, but have been putting in some miles, taking some days off, lots of icing. I'm still going to go for it, but my fitness has dropped off for sure. I may have to pull out if it's going to do some damage. I'll try to be smart about it, but I'm sure I'll be stupid and overdo it. Hope you are recovering well and get back on the road soon!

Congrats on the 2:55. Thanks for running with me. I'm glad I held you back from going out too fast. :) You are a stud.

Great job on the race, I know this isn't your race report (I hope you put it on). I just wanted to make sure I told you way to get that PR!

Thanks Josse!

Report finally up. You still running UV? I'm excited to run it.

I think I will just run the 10 miler on that day. I really would love to but I don't think my body could handle it and I would probably run really slow.
