today is the day

today I run the marathon.

I will start at 12 noon and go from there.

it will take place at Jeff's house.

the treadmill has been moved and the place has been set up. movies have been brought over and I'm completely not ready. But the day has been taken off from work and things are set in motion.

happy holiday

winter is cold and i bundle up to run.

the day in which i will run my marathon is fri. dec. 29 sometime during the day. wish me luck.

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...

State Street Dream

So a thought was that I would run the length of State street for the marathon. I would have to back track a little to complete the 26.2 miles. But the idea of people meeting me at a historic KFC for lunch was tempting.

I did no running on friday but did procured a treadmill that I will run the the marathon in its entirety in front of a very large TV. So people could in theory bring KFC to me.

Today I did run and had a partner for a bit in the begining. We passed by his house and I kept going for another hour. No idea what distance I ran but by far the most running I have done in years. I usually just run 3 miles (2 laps around liberty park) in the morning prior to work. My guess is that i ran at least 8 miles I'll have to use the car to confirm.


State Street in Salt Lake City runs South from the Utah Capitol building in Salt Lake City to Draper. It is about 22 miles in length. State Street is one of the longest commercial thoroughfare in the country.
