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.

Went to the dirt roads from Bishops heading out into Poverty Flats. Just kept an easy pace to simulate the 50 miler coming up.

Went with the doggie to the country dirt road south of town. Ran four up past the powerlines then turned around and went back. Lots of deer in the foothills. Pretty much just a relaxed pace...

I kept it short today started at the EMS building and went through the sage/cactus/rocks off trail for a half hour then came back. Just exploring around and looking at the deer. I need to get a long run in this week and looking at my schedule may have to do it early tomorrow morning so I kept it easy today in case I am able to do it tomorrow.

Woke up early and did a solo 50 K on the redrock trail above Richfield. I like to do a five mile stretch there so 10 miles round trip. I parked at the two mile point so I could have an aid station at the four mile and six mile points. Tried to keep about a 10 minute pace during the run. Not alot of elevation but did 2,361' of climbing. Mostly in the first couple miles of each 10 mile loop then just some short ups and downs the rest of the route. The trial was not muddy but has some serious ruts from some people who drove their vehicles on the trail when it was muddy. Took a gel at about mile 20 and a couple sample packets of jelly bean things. Felt fairly good the whole way, my hips/joints got a bit tight towards the end. I mainly did this run to test out some things and try to find a sustainable effort pace for my 50 miler in a few weeks. Averaged 10:07 pace for the time I as moving, probably spent another 20 minutes refueling at my vehicle.

Short run around the block to test the legs out after the 50K yesterday also did a few minutes on the indoor bike at work. Legs were a little tight but not bad at all.

Went to a park in Orem with the kids while visiting Grandpa. Ran around the outside of the park a mixture of grass and concrete. Legs were feeling pretty good. Didn't want to push the pace or distance and kept it short then played soccer with the kids. AP: 7:56
