History

I started running in January of 2004 to get in shape. I had gained too much weight and felt terrible. I was able to run my first 5K 3 months later. 2 years later and 50 lbs lighter, I have continued to push for greater goals and have run 5 marathons and I am training for an Iron distance triathlon now. Everyday I wake up with a positive attitude towards life, training and my future.

Marathons Completed

Arizona RockNRoll 2007
Salt Lake City Marathon 2006
Steamboat Marathon 2005
Boulder Backroads 2005
Las Vegas Marathon 2005

6 Days Out

May 29, 2006

I took a look at the weather report for next weekend and it may get hot by the time the marathon is over. So today I decided to do an 8 mile run during the heat of midday. I started out pretty good and had a good pace going for the first 4 miles thenI got really hot. SLowed me down quite a bit more than I had expected. I weight myself after the run and I had lost about 5 pounds. I hope I can get hte marathon over before the heat really sets in next week.

Tomorrow I am going to take a rest day and try and stay off of my feet as much as possible. I have a little nagging R ankle discomfort after today's run. I think I stepped on a rock wrong. So I will rest it and ice it if necessary.
