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 out again this morning for a jaunt around the neighborhood. 8:19 AP for the run. Finished with 2 sets of hill sprits and one legged hops. Felt pretty good this morning. There is a storm forcasted for tomorrow, hopefully I can get my track workout in somewhere.

Hit the local High School track again this morning.  It was a nice morning to run.  Warmed up 1.5 then did 12x 400 with a recovery lap in between.  Laps were 95,91,92,91,93,92,93,94,93,92,92,92.  Finished the workout with a 1.75 mile cool down.

It was a promising workout, the laps actually felt better the longer I went.  Maybe it was the goo I took was just kicking in, I haven't taken one in weeks.

Had the day off so I went with Laurel to the gym this morning while the kids were at school.  She headed to the spin class and I hit the treadmills.  1.5 warm up then 4 x 1 mile repeats at 6:39 pace with a 2 minute recovery in between.  The last .5 I bumped it to 6:34.  Finished with a cool down of 1.75

I felt pretty good today, I think the speed work I have been doing has really helped.  Between work and going to a hockey game I did not get a run in yesterday.  There was some ice/snow this morning, but now the sun is shining and looks good outside.

Nice recovery run around the hood this morning.  Even with taking Wed. off I am set to hit my biggest mileage week yet.  Good times.  I had a hard time logging into this site this morning and yesterday.  I don't know if it was just me or not.  Geez I almost went into withdrawls not being able to log in for a few hours.

Started at the house this morning and headed towards the crossroads then to willow park.  From the park went north on the JRP up and around Camp Williams, then hit redwood and back home.  Pretty nice morning for a run, went with Chet.  My ankles were a bit tight from the higher mileage this week, lungs were fine.  AP for the run 8:25

Made a delicious peanut butter, banana, carrot, and chocolate shake afterwards.  I love my vita-mix.
