Running Accomplishments:

Biggest running accomplishment has been to simply start running and love it!  I've always been an athlete, but running was just one of those things done for conditioning because I was compelled to do it :).  My love for running (because I chose it) began in April of 2009 and I haven't stopped since!

12.5 on the Mountainview Corridor and back.  Cold and WINDY...wind from the north was in our faces on the way back and it was not just a breeze!  It was the wind on the edge of the front...snow started shortly after we finished.  Second half was faster...just because we wanted to get out of the cold wind!

High Intensity interval spin class with Jan today.  I must say I am liking Jan's class a ton better since she took the training a couple of weeks ago on the new bikes.  Today was great!

Epic Christmas Eve Fun Run 3 miles up Butterfield Canyon from the gate then back down...all in the snow...deeper the further up we got...oh and it was snowing the entire time :).  Then all the way down to my house.  Ran with Scott Stoddart, Rachel Moody, Kelli and Scott Stephenson, Cory Wright and Jennifer Park. 

Ended up at 11 miles for some of us, 11.5 and 12 for others.  :) we had hot cocoa, chocolate milke, bagels (Einstein Brothers) chocolate, and fruit at my place.  What a fun time with good friends and a rather fun snowy run!  Thanks to my wife and girls for prepping and dropping some of us off at the gate...others drove with Jen...thanks Jen for driving! 

Looking forward to our next group run...hopefully it's not a year away!

7 miles on the treadmill with Scott Stoddart today.  Started at 7 mph (treadmill) and worked my way up to 8.5 mph the last mile.  Felt great.  Followed by some ab work before dashing off to shower and go with my family to a movie.

9.5 on Kelli's Herriman Hills course. 

Cleaning assignment at the church this morning from 7-8:30...it was cold when I got up...mid teens so Scott Stoddart and I were planning to go to the Olymipc Oval and run.  Scott ran into some time issues so I joined Kelli and Scott S  on their HH run.  Luckily it had warmed all the way up to 23 when we started and kept warming to around 30 by the finish.  It wasn't bad other than a half mile when a brutal "in your face" wind hit us.  Zig zagging up the hill had me sucking air and Kelli and Scott don't stop!!! Had to chew down my Blocks on the run just west of Butterfield Park (a little past half way).  Overall it was a great run and good to be OUTSIDE for a change and not on the TM.  Thanks for the push Kelli and Scott!
