9/12/2009 ~~ The Classic 5k

Today Ashlee and I ran the 5k. It was fun. The weather was perfect. Bridger even got to ride the train at the Maize Days. He enjoyed that.

5/16/2009 ~~ Ogden Marathon

Today was the Ogden Marathon. I keep wondering why I do these things when I have to wake up at 3:45 a.m., catch a bus at 4:45 a.m., and wait around by bonfires for almost 2 hours before the race even starts. It was fun. My leg started cramping around mile 19, but, other than that it was a pretty good race. I didn't make my goal of less than 4 hours, but it was close!! The announcer at the finish line even called me a "Super Dad" because Bridger was running with me and I picked him up to finish the race. Good memories!!

Time = 4:02:51.19
Pace = 9:16.2

4/25/2009 ~~ Winter Racing Circuit - 30K

Saturday was the 30K or (18.65 mile) race. It was pretty good. It only rained/snowed for a little bit. I ran with Gary (my old boss) from mile 9 to 14. Then I finished strong. My pace was much better than in the Half Marathon.

Time = 2:47:31.8
Pace = 8:59

4/4/2009 ~~ Winter Racing Circuit - Half Marathon

Today was the Half Marathon of the training series. It was the first half of the Ogden Marathon. It was so cold, snowy at times, and windy! Unfortunately, I was on the first bus and it dropped us off 45 minutes before the race started. But, I did run (no pun intended) into one of my friends, Brooke, from Jim's Gym and I ran the race with her. It was fun to talk with someone the whole time instead of just listen to music. I did run a little slower than I usually do, but that's o.k. I still finished!!

Time = 2:22:57.3
Pace = 10:54

2/7/2009 ~~ Winter Racing Circuit - 5k

So, today was the 5k race. I obviously didn't make it because I was celebrating my 7 year anniversary with Ashlee. I did do a 4 mile run though. It was pretty tough, because I haven't been running in so long. No more excuses...here are the results.

Time = 35:55
Pace = 8:58
