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: 32 Went from the house this morning and did the country loop in reverse. I can still feel some congestion in my lungs from my cold. Did not feel as comfortable as it should have. I was planning on 10, but close enough. Good run and started to loosen up the last few miles. AP 7:51

Day 33: Decided to do a bit of a workout this morning. Started on the road that leads up the canyon, easy run up, there is about 240' of elevation gain in the mile. First split down 6:19, second 6:17, and third 6:11. It definitely got me out of a comfortable state but not out of control.  Just jogged back up each time to recover, felt good to get some turnover.  I could really tell my lungs are not back from by cold yet, but showing some promise for the year to come.  I signed up for the buffalo 50K last night, got to get to work now.

Day 34: I was planning on a base 10 miler this morning, woke up and could feel my feet/achilles hurting. They were sore at the start of yesterday's run. Decided to do a couple recovery miles around the house. Got to be smart, stretch more, warm up/cool down after workouts, and do recovery runs if I do workouts. My heels finally warmed up after about a mile and a half this morning.  I miss my recovery runs on the wood chips at Liberty Park.

Once again scrubbed any plans for a tempo run this morning. Still some pain in my left foot but not too bad. Didn't want to push it, so I kept it around my base building pace this morning. Did the new Richard Loop from my house. I don't think my feet like running on the pavement. AP 8:09

Hit the Red Rock trail before work this morning. Really good run, tried to hold back as I want to go on a long run tomorrow.  Legs felt good, slight pain in my left foot the last two mile so I took it easy.  Ran slow on the uphills and just went with the flow on the downhills.  AP 8:49 with the dark, rocks, and hills

Day 37:  I am visiting family in Utah County, wanted to get a long trail run in this morning.  Was invited to run on Antelope Island but did not have the time, with I could have made it.  Decided to go run my route in Provo Canyon, started at Canyon Glen then headed up on the trails until the pipeline trail until the end around Bridal Veil Falls.  Ran down the path until on the south side of the canyon until the BST links in and back up on the dirt/muck.  Trail was ok for a half mile or so then ice/snow/mud for the next few miles.  Super slow going and my shoes were covered with mud, stayed upright.  Came out around the indian springs trailhead.  I was hoping for 16-20 miles with the possibility of a double loop if I was feeling good.  I guess my legs are not ready for that as I was pretty beat when I got back, so called it a day with one loop.  I guess the snow and mud with yesterdays 10 mile trail run took more out of me than expected.
