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.

Went with my son Spencer for a hike above town for the last day of the chuckar hunt.  It's always good to spend a few hours alone with your kids just enjoying the outdoors and talking about life. Climbed about 800' in the first mile then came down another finger of the hill.

Easing the legs back into it after the marathon last weekend.  Started at the trail above Richfield but after two miles of slick, sloppy mud decided to cut back down into town and loop back on the paved path.

Drove to the conservation corps road and ran up to the closed sign then looped back down the other trail.  Fun run the trail has some rock ledges that are fun to run down and work on footwork.  Opened up the legs somewhat on the way down just to test them out.  Kept it short as I was on a work lunch break.

Windy morning today and the neighbor's trampoline blew inside our trampoline creating a muddy mess this morning.  So went to the gym at work for an afternoon workout.  Did 10 minutes on the eliptical, then two miles @ 2% incline at 8 min pace, then ten minutes eliptical, then another run at the same, then another 10 minutes on the eliptical.  Also did three sets on the bench in between.

AM: Run commute into work.  12.5 miles AP 8:14.  Won't have time with my son's wrestling tournament tomorrow to get a long run in so decided to run to work and back today.  I am hoping to work on covering miles on tired legs so the break between runs should help accomplish that.

PM: Run commute home.  Legs were starting to feel it on the way home.  AP 8:30  Total of 25 miles for the day so I feel good about that.

Went with Spencer for a jog/hike through the foothills looking for deer sheds.  He is stronger at running hills than I thought.  Came back then went to the park to play soccer with the kids.  Did not count any soccer time, but got some good sprints in.
