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!!!

went on a 4 mile mourning run with brett to go check out the course and they still had not finished it.  probably went 6:15-6:20 mile pace it was pretty cold in the mourning.  by the way it was really a crappy course to hold a high school championship race.  then went 4x 1 mile repeats back forth on the course between the mens and womens race.  But all in all it was a good day for the MVHS CC team they both finished 3rd and know we wait to see if they get an at-large bid for nationals.   Just a side note utah had 4 teams in the top 5.  ough and i was babying my foot all day achilies still hurt.  wow talk about jumping all over the place good thing i'm not an english major.

YES, mileage is going up.  felt great.  did a nice solid pace run for 60 mins.  Mountain view calls the run super long carterville.  Judging by my pace I think I went about 9.25 miles but I will say 9 just to play it safe.  achillies is filling better.  next day: I just found out the run i did was 10 miles. yes 6min miles
