The first test...

Alright kids... it's here.

I'm looking at my clock, it is 6:40am, which means if I were in Hawaii... I'd still be an idiot for waking up before noon on my Saturday off...

But all that doesn't matter, I'm just about to go on a 6 mile run. I have never run 6 miles in a row, the only time I ever came close was in Moab with my family almost 6 YEARS ago when I ran 5... not too mention it was Moab in March, not Salt Lake in January.

My John Dad (by the way, to both "Dads" involved, I hope you understand that the name reference is simply to avoid confusion to the MASSES that read my blog, and not some twisted form of discrimination) asked a very good question in my comments section about the Marathon in reference to a marathon... He asked, "How do you eat an elephant? Wait... who would want to???" .... noted. In the mean time, I'll keep training and when that day comes, I'll stuff my face full of Elephant, but today... it's an Osterige (Osterige? Osterige? Osterige?)... or maybe an Emu (Osterige?) that I'll be devouring...

Can you still taste the blood in your mouth?

Good news is it gets better and you will be able to run further...Bad news, it still will taste like blood...

We are very proud of you on many fronts, but this whole running thing is fantastic. I love it when my kids get into this whole fitness, energy thing.
...hold on, the door bell just rang...got to go, my pizza is here!
Love ya man, Dad
