Personal:

I have been running every sense I started middle school at Orem Jr. high then went on to high school at Mountain View.  In college I ran one semester at BYU-HAWAII then went on a LDS Mission to Portland, Oregon.  After the mission I went to SUU and then after college I thought I could become a sponsored triathlete but I swam like a brick.  Finally after two years of trying to be an elite triathlete I found my love for running again and am putting all my training into half marathons and marathons.  I have just started volunteering at my old high school as an assistant coach and loving it.  Go Bruins!!!

This last week was a total running for 5hrs25mins44secs, 6.20/mile Question for the elite marathoners: What are some good tempo runs that you do to get ready for a marathon and far way from the race do you do them?

Great week of running more towards the end of the week.  Total running for this week: 7hrs12mins52secs, 6.24/mile.  Been looking and doing some research on BIG workouts and tempo runs and pretty excited to implement them into my workouts plus slowing my distance runs down.  Thanks for the great workouts everybody.

Oh man what a week.  Ended on a really good run.  Ran up hobble creek canyon and had to turn around at 66mins30secs because of snow but it was still past the starting line of the half marathon, I think.  Came back in 57mins59sec.  I didn't start my run by the finish I started over by the fishing pond before the golf course.  According to the website that tracks my runs in was 9.79miles long but they don't measure vertical miles but still accurate enough for me.  Body was starting to shut down the last 2.5miles.  I guess be out all day at a track meet and then skipping lunch doesn't help.  Before the run I drank 20oz bottle of gatorade and a Cliff shot at the top that really helped out a ton.  Well the total running this week was 7hrs48mins22secs, 6.26/mile

Missed 2 days of running this week due to school finals and home work or I was just lazy and didn't find time in the day to squeeze in a run or wake up early you choose so the total time this week was 4:47:30, 6:24/Mile.  Need a good training partner up here in Orem.  Anybody know anybody training for marathons around 2:30 pace?  That would sure help out a lot in my training and hopefully there's if a I can keep up w/ them.  I am really going to pound the pavement in May to get ready for the Utah Valley Half.
