Not get injured and stay consistent with my training.

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 38: I was up late last night and needed the sleep... so I slept in this morning... Got home from work and ran a mile or so with my son Spencer and my wife around the neighborhood. Need to get my kids more active, planning on an "unplugged" week next week.

Day 39: Ran on the dirt from Bishop's to Poverty. Some mellow hills but not too bad. AP 8:24 I was hoping for fresher legs after taking it easy the last couple days.

Day 40!!! Conservation Corps trail, really good run this morning. Felt pretty strong with not a lot of niggles bothering me. Kept it consistent and easy on the way up, there is 1850'of climbing in the first few miles. Turned around at 10, glad it was cold last night as I could tell it would be a muddy mess up there in a few hours, had to watch the ruts in the trail. Felt good coming down so I decided to go for the course record on the last segment down. Averaged 5:42 mile pace the last 1.2 miles and got the record. It was fun flying down the trail helter skelter. Now to continue the streak...

On the roads this morning, went from the house up to the Sierra Vista Road. I felt pretty stiff from the get go this morning so I didn't want to push it. Hoping to get a long run in this afternoon. AP 8:11

PM: Went a mile with my son Spencer, he said he wants to run a mile every other day. Then went out and did .9 with my wife. Good to spend some time running with them.

Wanted an easy trail run this morning. Slept in an started running around 7:30. Headed off the trail through the sage and cactus until I hit the foothills. A bunch of deer were heading up the mountain. I ran around then up and got above them. A few nice bucks were in the group including one with a missing back leg. Headed on some ridgelines until I got back to the mouth of the canyon. Then added some trail miles along the base of the mountain until I got back to my car. Had fun this morning just taking it easy and enjoying the morning. Hoping for a long run tomorrow morning.

Ran along the paved path from Joseph up the canyon to Big Rock Candy Mountain and back. Averaged 8:25 going up the canyon with the headwind, averaged 7:39 for the last 10 miles. Felt good the last few miles which is a very good sign. Had a goo and some gatoraide the last ten, first time this year I have used anything but water during a run.
