| Trying to be careful with this race and not repeat 2012. Aimed to stay conservative on as near 6:20 as I could hold. Awesome seeing everyone at the start! It started raining 6 minutes before the gun and didn't stop until 5 miles in. I had visions of last year's Ogden Marathon but it stopped as soon as it soaked my shoes completely. I spent six miles weaving through the most people who started fast that I have seen in a marathon. I should have placed a better start. I felt great today. Probably could have pushed it harder but with a marathon two weeks ago and being out of shape, I was pretty nervous. From mile 8 on I was completely alone. The Utah guys were way ahead, nobody was behind me. I just tried to stick on as close to 6:20 pace as I could. Eight Utah guys in the top seventeen. Me being the slow one as usual. |

This in the news today: The Little Rock Marathon cancelled halfway through due to weather. If a race is cancelled though, the entries have to be refunded. So the race was "rerouted" to a Walmart, which means under a reroute no refunds are necessary...

| Drove into central Costa Rica for a shot at running the trail to the highest peak. Getting to the northern trailhead I found that it was fogged in and dewpoint spread was 3 degrees, meaning this probably would'nt change. I drove further south to the Chirropo trail and long story short, found a hostel 50 meters from the trailhead. I got set up, had dinner with some pretty cool Costa Ricans and ran the first 3.5 miles of the trail up and back.

| Intense run today. After waking up in the hostel I checked Intellicast for weather and watched the Central American radar for a few minutes. I was a bit worried about temperatures at altitude and what to wear. Summit temps showed 3C so I felt it would be fairly warm. All in all, it was a perfect day to do this! Had a great breakfast with a lot of Costa Rican hikers. They were all hiking to base camp at 11,200 feet and staying overnight to summit the next day. If you live at sea level a hike to 12,500 is something to think about. I was most worried mosst about my fitness since I'd ran a marathon three days ago, getting lost, and what to wear. I had about 8,000 feet to climb in 12 miles, and then back down.
The run up was awesome. Costa Ricans are by far the fittest people in Central or South America, certainly Mexico. On the trail they were fast and very well equiped. I saw no Europeans or Americans at all today. I really got my butt kicked today the entire time above 10,000 feet. That's not that high! I was dying and it took a lot of work especially above 11,000. It may have been a combination of legs and altitude. I ran through base camp about 2.5 hours and headed up. The sun was blazing on top. I could write so much about a trail run like this. It's incredible. But I'm so tired tonight. This took me just over 6 hours to complete and I killed myself to even do that. I ran out of water with 6k left. A 60 ounce camelback is just not enough for six hours of running.

| I really wanted to be down in Arizona this weekend running the Mountain to Fountain. But my family and I pretty much decided we needed an actual weekend at home. I ran with the Logan group training for a three hour Ogden Marathon in Blacksmith Fork Canyon in the afternoon. Great group with some awesome runners. Did a 19 miler with the last five with Brett at 6:30 pace. |

| Full day surfing at Hermosa, Costa Rica. Impossible to describe this place. Manta Rays swimming around me on the board. Nice trail run where I saw three monkeys, a river filled with gators, Mcaws, parrots, three huge iguanas, and a sloth. Never seen a trail with so much life even in this country. I have not slept more than an hour for two nights, there is just too much to do.

| Went down to Moab for a weekend of trails, Jeeping, and a chance to spend a few days with Walter Brown's pacer group. For anyone who isn't familiar with pacers, these folks are seriously cool. For literally no return at all they nail pace times from 1:30 to 3:15 on a Half. They are some fit folks and I watched a ton of people profusely thanking them after the race. The more I see of these guys the more I believe they bring to the distance races. I was going to pace the 1:30 but Walter found a guy last minute to do it so I just ran. I figured I could run at least 6 pace today for my first Tempo run since the marathon but just couldn't turn them over fast enough today. This was the windiest race I have ever ran too. Just a head down, gut it out morning. Really good races again by Josh and James. Walter beat me simply because his frontal area is a third of mine. |

| Ran down to Mahattan Beach and caught the morning surf for an hour, ran back. This weekend the kids and I flew a small plane up to Idaho Falls for some filming for GoPro. It's interesting that you never know which kid will pick up what interest in their lives. My oldest has grabbed onto flying and she flew the plane all the way, even being upset that I wouldn't let her land it. Pretty awesome. |

| Easy beach jog in Cancun along the sand before spending the morning surfing. I've heard that once you get the hang of this, the bug never leaves you, and I think I've caught a new sport that does a huge amount of good for my soul. |
