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 14: Was hoping for snow packed trails this morning. Woke up to rain and the Red Rock trail in Richfield was a muddy mess this morning. There were times where it was ok running then you would hit a patch of slop and go ice skating. I was hoping for 10 miles but turned around after about a half mile of slop and I knew the trail was not going to get any better. I had to laugh at myself at times... oh well I guess I worked on my stabilizer muscles and didn't get hurt so it was successfull.

Day 15: Ran from my house up to the trails leading to the hot pots, ran to the hot springs, then north along the powerline trail. Legs actually felt ok today. I could tell they were a little sore but in a good way. Got to build my muscles in my legs up. I've also been doing pushups and core exercises every night as I have been getting soft up top.  Got to stay on top of it now that I am old.

Day 16: Went out a little latter this morning so I could run at least half of the run in the light. All dirt today, started out on the Thompson Basin road then side tracked around the trails until I linked back in. Kept heading up until I hit 4 miles then turned around and went back the whole way on the Thompson Basin. It was snow covered up high and got slick at times so not the fastest run up top but I managed to run the whole time 1652' of climbing the first couple miles..  I was able to open it up on the lower portion on the way down and get some turnover going.  Last 1.3 miles were about 6:25 pace, felt good to run faster.

I've been eyeing a loop on google earth above the hot pots.  Gave it a go this morning.  Really nice trail until the last bit coming down, I will have to scout out a better way down as it got a little sketchy coming down through a slot canyon.  Nice morning to get out there, saw around 80-100 elk in the cedars and no human footprints in sight.  About 1,500' or elevation gain.  Just took my time and enjoyed the morning and trying to find my way around.  I will be back up there for sure.

Wanted to get a long run in this morning. Headed to the paved bike path that winds through the valley.  Started in Central and headed towards Joseph. Not sure where my fitness was as I have not had any long runs in a long while.  Some good hills in the middle of the run but not too bad for the most part.  Last four miles were 7:42,7:42, 7:34, 7:24, just to get my average below 8 min miles AP 7:58.  It was good to see where I am this time of year... had fun running this week.
