Not get injured and stay consistent with my training.

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.

Started the morning off with a long trial run on the Pavhant.  I was going to go 10 then refuel at the car and go on another trail for 10.  I was feeling good and thought I had enough fluids to keep going up the canyon so I did 17.4 for the first push.  Just wanted to keep exploring the trail.  Tried to find a sustainable pace for my 50K coming up.  Got back to my car and filled up on more fluids and did an extra four miles on another trail. 3,669' of elevation gain I was able to run every step of the way although it was not very fast at times.

Got home and T.J. my 8 year old was waiting at the door with his running shoes.  He said the other day I want to go on a long run like you, I guess he remembered, so went back out and did four extra miles with him.  He did great!

Sounds like a tiring, but great, day!
