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.

Got up early this morning and hit the gym before work. I am becomming a wuss with the cold in the early mornings. Hopped on the treadmill and got a decent base run in, just tried to relax and not push anything. First 4 miles at 8:13 pace the last 3 at 8:00 pace.

Happy Monday to all.

Woke up early this morning for a dark and cold run from the house. Same route down the canal trail then south on the road. Wanted to do some strides mixed in with the run. I tried to do two strides every mile except the first and last.

Run was ok, my injured ab/groin really did not like the sprints.  I am feeling it now this afternoon.  I averaged just under 8min per mile.  My garmin is not holding a charge anymore and shuts down between miles 6-8 depending on what I am doing.  I was thinking it just wasn't fully charged, but I am positive it was this morning and it still died.  Not good...

Easy recovery run this morning. 3 miles around the hood by myself, then took the new pup on her first trial jog. 1.5 miles with her. She did alright, will keep trying to get her out and some exercise. She is a black lab who just turned 4 months.

Really good run this morning for a treadmill. I think just taking recovery runs the day before a good workout is going to continue to tbe the key until I can overcome all my injuries and maybe get younger. 2 mile warm up at 8:34 pace, then 4 miles at 6:53 pace, then 2 miles at 8:00 pace to cool down.  The pace did not seem too overwhelming and hope to lock in the pace into my legs as a conservative half marathon pace on flat ground.

I plan on running a half next month, our local Shamrock Half Marathon, which is a difficult hilly course.  I use it as a gauge every year to see where I am.  It would be nice to break 1:30 on the course.  We'll see...

Couple really easy miles with Laurel this morning around the hood. It was good to run with her. She signed up for the Utah Valley Half so I got to get her out running more.

Fun morning run to the top of Lake Mountain, finally conquered that goal.  Now it will be fun to try to run it faster it may take a while.  Conditions were great and next time we will have to have a group as apparently it was the "smallest group run ever." 

Garmin died again after the first few miles, just tried to enjoy the scenery and not worry about pace.  It was fun to float back down the road, had some delicious chocolate milk. I got home to the pup and it was so nice out, I took her out for a 2 mile shakeout run.  Good times...
