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 out by myself on a beautiful morning run.  Started at the house and worked my way up to the foothill trails, tried to connect back into the road, but miscalculated where the road was and ended up bushwacking it through a rutted out field for about a half mile until I hit the road. 

I just tried to enjoy the run, no music, and didn't check my pace during the run.  Finished the run with 2 sets of high knees and bounding up hill.  AP for the run 8:29

Went to liberty park with the guys from work during lunch. Did 1.5 warm up lap then was supposed to run hill repeats, but the only hill there was the one by the duck pond and not very big. I sprinted up, then along the top, then down the other side, six times. Finished up with another lap. Warm up and cool down laps were around 8:00 pace.

I did not get the chance to run yesterday, had a long day at work and came home with a migrane.  Not fun.. however, I did get a great run in this evening.  I can't believe it's winter here in Utah, the temperatures have been so nice during the day.

I did a fartlet run this afternoon around the hills from the house.  Ran at base pace then every 5 minutes picked it up for 75 seconds to around 5:50-6:15 pace.  Average pace for the run was 7:32.  I really enjoyed my run this afternoon.  Felt smooth and in control, and it was nice and peaceful out.

Another nice run around the neighborhood.  Went up into the trails in the foothills again, just went in reverse from what I usually do.  I just tried to run relaxed and enjoy the run.  8:15 average pace.  I'm off to a good start in 2012 already.  Hopefully I can stay healthy and really have a breakthrough year.

Went out for a run this morning with Chet.  Started at 6:45, looked out the window and saw the snow and wind and was grateful for a training partner who I knew would be waiting on me.

Went from our houses around the neighborhood, to the crossroads then headed down to the road west of the Jordan river.  Headed north to the iron bridge then hit the JRP to 2100.  Went back up 2100 back to our houses. Only went 9 with Chet average pace 8:29.  Just nice relaxed conversational pace.  It wasn't too cold until you hit the headwind, then the flying snow felt like little needles on my face.

When I got home my wife wanted to go running so went out with her for 4 extra miles at an easy jog.
