Run one of those rediculously aided Utah half-marathons helter skelter down a canyon and get a PR.

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.

Heavy snow overnight and the last few days.  Probably over 15" in the driveway.  Decided to do my yearly treadmill run today.  Took it easy last week recovering from some annoying niggles.  Hit the excercise bike almost every day.  I went ahead an took a leap of faith and signed up for the Buffalo 50 mile trail race on March 19th.  From some short jogs last week I was feeling good so started training agan today.  Kept the run right at the 8min pace.  Did the first mile with no incline, the second and third on one, and the last few on two.  Got a good sweat going on and it felt good to run again.  Now got to get my mileage up without injuries...

Went with Laci to the EMS building and ran up the the mouth of the canyon, did three repeats.  Snow is still pretty deep so I kept to the paved road.  The canyon should be nice soon if some snowmobiles hit it and pack the road.  Just kept the pace consistently easy

Decided to hit the snow this morning.  Went up the trail to the hot springs then hopped over to the powerline trail and headed North, just wanted an easy recovery as I am still feeling out the body this week.  I was cold -13 down in town.  I had my balaclava and a beanie on and mittens.  I can tell it is cold when I am still cold with all the gear on.  My dog had fun playing in the powder and it was a pretty morning to be out for which I am grateful.

Felt a twinge again in my hip so I decided to keep it safe.  Hit the gym at work, 10 min elliptical, 1 mile run, 10 min bike, 10 min row, 10 min elliptical, 1 mile run, 10 min eliptical, 1 mile run, 10 min bike.

Did some pull-ups and weights in between.  Run miles were at 8 min pace @2% incline.  Got a good workout in with minimal impact.

Parked at the EMS building and the puppy and I went from there up the canyon.  I was planning on hitting the trail along the stream above Monrovian.  Ran the three plus miles there and saw it was knee to waist deep snow with no tracks so I turned back and headed a little bit further up the canyon.  Soft deep snow prevented any speed but a beautiful morning to enjoy the canyon.  I finally switched out shoes to my new Altra Lone Peak 2.5's.  Should have done it a while ago as I believe a lot of my issues I have been having have been related to my shoes as I was trying to stretch more time out of them than I should have.  They felt really good!

Came up to Utah County to watch the superbowl with the in-laws.  Hit Squaw Peak with a group from the Utah County Trailrunners.  Started from Rock Canyon.  Clear blue skies made for a great day for a run.  I was hoping for a double but was going to make sure after the first one I couldn't feel anything injury feeling.  Just tired after the first one so back up I went.  I was starving by the time I hit the top for the second time.  It was nice to hit the packed trail through the snow about 5,550' of climbing..  Now a few days later my quads are trashed.
