26.2 inches is all i moved


this is the apartments that the marathon was attempted in.


this was my set up, big screen and all. (thanks Jeff)


an hour or so into the run


at times Grant helped pace me in the run. we averaged approx. 6 mile an hour.


Grant couldn't always be there for me on the bike. he made up for it by his clapping.


some say that my legs are too thin... they look alright to me. The complete marathon was completed in 4 hours and twenty minutes. in completing the 26.2 mile jaunt there were those that were upset I was not more exhausted. It was an interesting experience that I thank my friends for. it was with their encouragement that I accomplished my goal. and i would not have attempted with out them and i would not have completed it with their help. thank you

i have no resolutions for 2007 as of yet...

I'm still running


I admit that my running has not been as good as I would like. I did run last night and completed 6 miles. I was feeling under the weather for a couple of days... So I'm back on track.

Power Nap


Yesterday I took the day off from running. My bed these days is feeling so nice. I've never enjoyed it so much. I'll have to find an indoor treadmill tonight in order to do some running. The pollution in the valley/city is still at code yellow.

Dimple Dell Recreational Center


I went to the gym the other night to try out the treadmills. I didn't like it much and wanted to stop after 5mins. But I did last a half hour and 4 miles. Good for me. Plus I ran monday at night two miles with a monster hill and the pollution was horrible..... and for my effort I received a sore throat. So i went to the gym.


I didn't get a chance to play in the pool. Next time...

Sunday = a day of rest


I wish i could say that I was at rest today. I slept in until 8:30am which is an extra 3hrs from my weekly schedule. I made it to sacrament this afternoon and that was nice. I even talked with my parents this evening and discussed the past thanksgiving weekend. It was so nice to see everyone (in CA for the Holiday). So I didn't completely rest today because i took the morning to do a little hill work out. Running in the avenues the other night gave my knees a ache, so I wanted to correct that by doing some runs on another hill.


I feel I must take advantage of these little coupons...


so a friend named one "F" Jef enjoyed the day running the mountain with me.


a sunny sunday is good...
