Diversion from the doldrums of a loss, I'm sharing with you what I've been doing

Yesterday I ran in the St. George Marathon, crossed the finish line and made if home at 4:20pm in order to watch our game live.

St. George was the last marathon of the Grand Slam. The Grand Slam is where you run 4 Utah marathons. It’s grueling because the time span is less than 4 months. I ran Utah Valley, June 10th, Desnews, July 25th, Big Cottonwood, September 10th and St. George October 1st.

The back drop of the photo is a hunk of the recently replaced Rice Eccles Stadium turf.

Even though this is a totally self-indulgent post, I’ll make it Ute related by encouraging people to run the Homecoming 5K this Saturday.

See you there!

Edit, Tony can you fix my photo?

I remember my first marathon. Portland 8 years ago. It was such a mind breaking experience. I’ve never experienced such highs and lows in a 4 hour period.

Are you still marathoning?

[Milton Vanderslice]

I’ve only done 1 more after that.  I let myself go and I need to take care of that.

A Feb. and May half marathon is my immediate goal to get back into it.

My 7 year old son has just started running. He ran the Ottawa 2k race at the end of May in 12 minutes. His first cross country meet is this coming Wednesday. Any advice?

Sorry, I thought maybe it would work for him. It kinda failed our Utes at the end of the Cal game.
