3/12 Monday: OFF

Hit up the slopes at Deer Valley. Second day of skiing in a row.... and Caitlyn wanted me to go swimming in the pool with her. Caitlyn and the pool win!




















3/13 Tuesday: AM: 8.2 miles in 58 minutes PM: 4.4 miles in 33 minutes

AM: Easy running in the neighborhoods of Park City. The scenery is unreal..... I can't get enough. SPent the afternoon exploring Park City and hitting up the Wasatch Brew Pub!

PM: No Skiing today so I was able to get in two runs. A quick easy run around the Park City neighborhoods.




















3/14 Wednesday: 8.3 miles in 60 minutes

Skied all day at the Canyons and then hit the roads for some running. Ran around the neighborhoods of Park City again. This place is beautiful, and the weather has been great! Shorts and a tee shirt! Thats me rocking Native Googles!

























3/15 Thursday: 8.2 miles in 62 minutes

Skied all day at the Canyons, even saw a moose while riding the chair lift! Pretty cool site! Got in another run around the local neighborhoods. Went out for a very nice dinner and went on a sleigh ride. Caitlyn got to drive!




















3/16 Friday: 6.2 miles in 47 minutes

Treadmill running at the gym. It was spitting a bit of rain, and the NCAA tourney was on TV. So an easy treadmill run was in order. Spent the day packing up and ding a bit of shopping around town. Happy Birthday 32nd to my brother Ryan!




















3/17 Saturday: OFF

Long day of traveling back home. Utah was awesome, but I am glad to be heading back home for St. Patrick's day!! Had a great dinner with Heather and a couple Guinness to celebrate the day.




















3/18 Sunday: 15 miles in 1 hour and 43 minutes

Solid run today! I did the first 3.5 with Heather and then eased into a faster pace. The next 11,5 miles went by at about 6:30 pace overall. A few miles were just about 6 flat towards the end. It was a good long effort that was not to hard, but it felt good to run a bit faster for a good distance.

Total Miles: 50.3

I had a great week in Utah with family and friends. I got in 4 days of skiing and just over 50 miles of running. The running in Utah was also at almost 7000 feet of altitude too! Considering the vacation and skiing, I was pretty happy with the running totals. Skiing with Caitlyn was a blast, it was her first trip out west and I can't wait to do it again! It was great to spend so much time with her skiing, at the pool, and out around Park City. She truly is an awesome little girl! She also rips up the slopes! Now its time to get back to business and get ready for some up coming races! I am excited to get out there and see what I can do!
