Qualify for Boston... missed it by 8 seconds previously

Run one of those rediculously aided Utah half-marathons helter skelter down a canyon and get a PR.

Personal:

Married with three boys. Ran the Odgen Marathon in honor of my mother, a marathoner, who passed away from cancer and it just had continued from there. Grew up in a running family and have fallen in love with running, especially on trails.

Lunch:

Went with the guys from work to run around Liberty Park. Stayed in the wood chips the first lap AP 8:26. Didn't feel too bad on the achilles the first lap, 2nd lap 7:37 average. Jogged another .5 back in with the guys.  I really really want to run faster/longer but the achilles started hurting more the second lap.  I am still hopefull it will be better in time for Ogden, it has been feeling better everyday, and I ice stretch it as much as I can.  I will try to get a few more miles this afternoon. We'll see how it goes for this weekend.

PM:

Decided to get a few more miles in this afternoon.  1st mile 8:25, didn't feel too bad, 2nd mile 8:11 started to feel my achilles more this mile, I just kept hoping it would ease up, 3rd mile 8:57 pain not going away, last .5 9:33 pace, kept hurting more an more, ended up just walking the last bit back to the house.  I am trying to keep my spirits up but I am very discouraged right now.
