Not get injured and stay consistent with my training.

Complete a 50 and 100 mile ultra.

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 continue to be a slacker.  Ran before work yesterday and almost froze, but still felt good to get out and run.  AP 7:29

Hit the treadmill at the gym this morning, pretty good run.  1st mile 8:27, 2nd and 3rd 8:00, 4th 7:30, and last 8:17 to cool down.

Still have yet to determine how much fitness I have lost.  I can pretty much fake these short 3-5 milers.  I still have some pain in my abdominal region but if I can still run on it I will.

Finally got a semi-quality run in,  I was planning on going 10 but at 4 felt some fatigue in the legs and did not want to overdo it.  Looking back I probably would have been fine, but sometimes when you are recovering from injury you have to play it safe and listen to you body.

Went to the JRP starting at the iron bridge in Lehi, headed south.  Everything felt fairly smooth just kept it relaxed and averaged in the 7:50s for the first 7 miles then finished with the last mile in 7:26.  I have missed going out and enjoying the solitude.

On a side note I got a new running partner a couple weeks ago.  I got a black lap puppy and we have been going out the past couple of weeks on some pretty long hikes through the snow and in the fields behind the house.
