Funny that my 50 mile time is faster than my 50K. Guess that's what happens when your only 50K has over 11,000' of vertical ascent =) Short-Term Running Goals: Zion Traverse
Squaw Peak 50 Mile
Speedgoat 50K
Quest For King's
Wasatch 100 Long-Term Running Goals: Just want to stay happy and healthy. Bring on whatever that may entail! Personal: I started running in April '09 and run to maintain some balance in my life. Apparently I have an addictive personality so I figure I should do something positive with it.

Started the new year off right with a summit of Grandeur. I did the west face route then back down. I should've planned a little better and done the full loop, but didn't have any nutrition with me, other than the brownie the ladies at the summit gave me. It tasted pretty darn good after a tough hike to the top. The quads were definitely feeling it on the way down. Ah, the joys of getting back to training. |

| | Got out with a group today that included Jun, Dorsimus, Scott, Matt VH, Steam8, and Lily. We did the Ann's Trail loop starting at the the Red Rock trailhead in Draper. Had lots of up and down variation and was really good for my tired legs today. Hung out in the back of the group and took it easy most the time, other than a few mad dashs here and there with jun and Dorsimus. Check out jun's blog for some cool pics of the run. |

Went to the JRP because I knew it would be a tough day on the legs today. My quads are absolutely destroyed from the last two days on the trails. Guess that happens when you slack for too long, so now I've gotta work on building my strength back up.
With that said, I ran in the Altras again today focusing on form. My right calf that bothered me last week stiffened up within a half mile, but loosened up as I continued on. Legs felt hammered the entire way but the effort didn't feel too difficult, if that makes any sense at all?! Maybe a better way to put it is that I was really sore with every step, but it wasn't difficult to push myself along. |

| | I woke up at 4:30 this morning for some stupid reason, so rather than sitting in bed for a few hours or watching TV, I decided to go to the gym. I went with the sole intention of just lifting some weights, but watching the pathetic people on the treadmills gave me a little motivation... So of course, I jumped on! I cranked up the incline and pace at what felt like manageable levels and ran for 30 minutes. After back-to-back days in the Instincts, my legs are now officially destroyed and I need to take a day off... It probably won't happen though because I'm in love with running again. |

| | Got out in this ridonkulous weather we're enjoying and ran View Benchmark after work. The car read 49 degrees when I got out to run. I wore a light jacket though since I knew that I wouldn't be in the sun much on this one. I dressed about perfect which is always a bonus. The only time I've been on this trail was with Jun when there was about 50 feet of visibility, so I had no idea where I was going. I made a few wrong turns on the way up and one on the way down, but nothing too serious. The beauty of the trails out there is that you really can't get lost, even when you don't have any idea where you're going. Turned out to be a really awesome run on a gorgeous day.
