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.

Went down to the JRP again, just took it easy this morning.  I was planning on 13 then ran into Mark Ellison on the way back so I ran about a mile with him, then let him go on the rest of his run.  AP 8:09.

I'm pretty sure through my internet study I have a sports hernia.  I hope I can just survive past Utah Valley and then probably just suck it up and go see a doctor.  I took it super easy this week and my body is still feeling pretty hammered.  I was hoping to run a long marathon pace run today, but got to listen to the old body.

That is not good news about the hernia. You ought to see the doctor first to make sure that's what it really is, and THEN suck it up and do Utah Valley. :-) Does all running aggravate the problem or just fast running?

On your wife's foot, I used to have similar problems until I used the Strassburg Sock (got mine at Fleet Feet) and also switched shoes to ones with a decreased heel lift. No problems since.
