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.

I think I might be in love, went for my first run up Monroe Canyon just a mile away from where we just moved to.  Just me and my dog, didn't see another vehicle or soul up there.  Parked at the bottom of the canyon, 1st mile on the paved road up the canyon, 2nd mile on packed snow starting to wind up the narrow canyon road with a stream flowing beside, 3rd mile from Monrovian Park up semi-packed single track following the creek.  Cliffs, trees, flowing stream, I was like the trail running Maria Vontrapp, It was just gorgeous and about a mile away from my home.  I couldn't have asked for much better start to the new year...

Went for four this morning in the canyon with my wife, more of a hike, but very enjoyable non the less, went probably another 1.5 by myself in the foothills south of town right before dark.  I am hoping for a longer canyon exploration run in the morning...

Went on a solo run up Monroe Canyon Road, had the dog with me in case any pumas wanted to eat me for breakfast.  Went up the mountain for 4 miles then turned around and came back.  Mostly snow packed roads, the were some snowmobiles who packed the snow just about perfect for running.  There was one ice skating spot for about 50 yards where it got a bit sketchy, fell on my bottom on the way back down and just slid across the rest of the way.  Pushed as much as my legs and heart would let me this time, ended up power hiking/running to the top.  Maybe in a few months when I get my legs back I will be able to run it all.  I still need to get the elevation off my garmin.  Had fun running down, no inversion, and not another soul/vehicle for the entire run.  Just me, the dog, and some bald eagles... miles were 13:25,16:27,17:41,20:48,8:32,7:51,7:10,6:59  miles tell the tell of the climb, effort was about the same,just getting warmed up on the way down...
