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 =)

Zion Traverse

Squaw Peak 50 Mile

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.

Went to the JRP and I'm happy to report that I'm finally able to run again. Didn't want to push it so I kept the mileage and pace pretty conservative, but didn't really have any problems. I could feel the shin a bit on the slight downhill sections, but it wasn't painful, just noticeable. I'm going to run every other day for the next week or two just to make sure things hold up ok, then I'll get back on track.

Easy 4 miler at the JRP. Just making sure this injury is basically gone before I start with anything more intense.

Looking forward to crewing Dorsimus this weekend at the PET 50. Should be a fun weekend with good friends and some racing.

Crewed and paced the last 15 miles for Dorsimus at the Pony Express 50.  Lots of fun out there seeing friends and hanging out.  Matt did awesome and stayed strong finishing his first 50 miler.  Congrats to him!  The good news is that my leg seems to feeling better.  Didn't have any problems with it out there, so it looks like I'll slowly creep back into some training.

This is also the time of year I start thinking about races I'd like to do next year.  I'll definitely be putting in for Squaw Peak and Wasatch next year, but I'd also like to race something out of state at some point.  I'm also leaning toward training for a fast (for me) marathon in the spring.  Maybe Salt Lake?  I'm thinking the goal there would be to go sub-3.  Definitely doable if I'm willing to put in the effort.
