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.

Day 8: Was just planning on doing around 8, but I was feeling pretty good so I did my normal 10 on this route.  Fairly good climb up the road, just tried to keep moving and not resort to power hiking on the way up.  Nice and big moon out and I just turned my headlamp off and ran by the light of the moon.  Snow was packed by fourwheelers and snowmobilles and was nice after about the first mile.  Some icy spots the first mile or so but not too bad.  1,861' of climbing, AP 10:38, had some faster miles coming down but just tried to stay in control and enjoy the morining...

Went exploring around new trails off the Thompson Basin Road this morning. Was planning on doing 10 but felt pretty empty and lacking fuel the last bit. Only had water so I cut it shorter, but still a good workout. Hopefully I didn't do too much damage. The trails were overgrown 4-wheeler trails through the cedars, sagebrush, and cactus.  Wasn't the fastest terrain but I liked seeing the new country.  About 1600' of climbing...

Quick and short around the neighborhood this morning. I think I need to be more careful building up my mileage, could feel some twinges after yesterday's run and I need to ease into my long trial runs. Felt decent this morning so I think I am good to go just need to be wise and not overdo it. AP 7:43

Day 12: We have family in town this weekend.  Went out with my brother-in-law looking at deer this mornng and hiking around.  I snuck in a short run this afternoon.  I was hoping to find the shortcut over the hills from Joseph to Poverty but the trail I noticed on Google Earth had a no tresspassing sign.  I will try and speak to the landowners and get permission to get on it as it would be a great loop if I can get it to all connect.  Slight progression run mostly because I needed to get back 7:51 AP
