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

Up and Over

September 12, 2006

Back to hill training today. The morning was glorious, sun shining and nice and cool to run in. I ran what is locally called "Skyline Drive"

Skyline Drive is a 2.5 mile gate to gate ridge run. It is a steep uphill for 1.5 miles followed by a steeper downhill for 1 mile. To get the best benefit from the route is to run it from gate to gate to gate. This give you 2 steep uphill runs and 2 good downhills to train on.

This morning I was feeling especially good physically and pushed the hill hard. I though I would hit the wall at any time however, guess what. I didn't. I finished with my best time yet of 48 minutes for the full 5 mile run. I better get better than that though. The Rim Rock Run will be 8 miles of uphill running continuously. Ouch!
