Registration

So it looks like the Utah County Half marathon has already reached capacity. So I think that the 10k sounds good in May and shoot for the Hobbler Half in July. I have tried to track down cost for them, but haven't found it yet...Running is going alright. Still haven't ran more than 4 miles. Registration for St. George starts tomorrow!! Kick this butt into gear!

Another Nice Saturday Run

Well, I made 4.3 miles today in 47 minutes. 15 years ago I did that same distance in 32 minutes. Ouch!!! I guess the extra 40 pounds and extra 15 years may have something to do with that. None the less, I am still excited about the training and the marathon.

I found a few more potential intermediate races for us to consider in preparation for the marathon. They are listed to the right. I was surprised to find there is a 1/2 marathon on July 10 in Springville - Britt's own backyard 1/2 marathon. It is called the Hobbler 1/2 Marathon.

How about a Memorial Day 10k in Orem?

Anyway, I hope you all are doing well and enjoying this opportunity!

Happy Trails to You.

Ok, back at it again

I am now finished with my self imposed vacation from running and back at it again. Saturday I ran/walked 2.6 miles in 30 minutes up by the Bountiful Temple. Today (Monday) I discovered it is about 2.6 miles from the Hunter's home to my home and did that in 29 minutes. Monday's run/walk was a lot easier on my lungs and legs than Saturday's run.

My vacation from running lasted about two weeks and was caused by me being lazy in St. George.

I hope you all are doing ok. Tiff, just keep walking to help your knees along. Don't push to hard...we don't want permanent damage.

I learned of a new half marathon at work today. It is in July. The Bryce Canyon marathon. I'll bet that is a beautiful run. I'll check on it for more information.

Happy trails to you all.

Finally an Update!

Not a whole lot new here. I have done a few runs outside and they were MARVELOUS! I really want to up my mileage, still sticking around 2-3 miles per day, 4 miles for a long run. Missed my long run last week :(...but today I did run my three miles in 33 min. I am okay with that. I feel good while running, but still finding that I have minor aches and pains in my legs/knees after. Hopefully that will subside as I continue. Almost registration time...dun dun dun!

What is up with my knees?!!

Ouch! My knees are still hurting after a week! I tried to run thru it last Tues. but made it worse. I've gone for some walks over the past week but I haven't been able to do much more. I am getting depressed watching all of the other runners each morning down on Main and I am getting anxious to get out there! I am giving the knees a rest and then I will start back up again when they aren't hurting so bad anymore...hopefully, soon!! I hope things are going better for you guys!

I've Been a Bad Boy

Well, a week in St. George made me very lazy...I didn't run at all this last week. Back to pounding the pavement tomorrow to start all over. Yuk! Oh well, better to keep it on and off than permanently off.

I hope you all are progressing better than me. WOOHOO!
