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!!!

heavy snow fall today so the intensity wasn't their but went longer.  Time was 71.5 mins about 7.15/mile.  Still a good work out.  You use different muscle when you run in the snow.

Went for a run on the orem water tower trail and the 1st 25 min was fine then the trail wasn't plowed anymore so then I was trudging through a foot a snow for about 35 mins then dropped into provo canyon on a nice paves bike path for the next 26 min and only went for 9 miles in 76min, 8.27/mile  I don;t think that is bad for how deep the snow was.  I should probably wait tell all the snow is gone before I try that run again.

Nice solid with a good friend to help me maintain a solid pace running at 6.30/mile and about are 7th mile we did a 5.30 mile.  Felt great to open up the stride and let it fly.  Plus it was snowing and the sidewalks wore a little slippery.  All in all it was a great day of running.

Was surprised on the distance and pace per mile. Ran against traffic dodging cars because there was to much snow on the sidewalks and was really wet. came back socking wet. Took a good half hour before I felt relaxed. 70min, 6.16/mile
