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.

I had plans to go run in the morning... really I did...woke up and started putting my running gear on when the power went out. I checked outside and saw a ton of snow on the ground. I probably would have ran anyway but I wanted to make sure the kids got up on time for school and the driveway was shoveled for my wife. It felt a little too good climbing back into bed and sleeping an extra hour and a half. Managed to run around the hood a bit in the afternoon to keep the streak alive.  My legs are still somewhat sore from last week so I think it will do them well to rest another day or more.

Most of the snow is off the roads. Ran up to the trails leading towards the hot springs then followed the foothill trails past the mouth of the canyon for a few miles. Just took it easy as my legs did not feel as they had much energy. The trails had a couple inches of snow so it was nice. Saw quite a few deer with a handful of big bucks still packing around their antlers as well as a big herd of elk. It was nice taking my time and looking at the beauty of my valley.

On the dirt road south of town, headed up the hill a ways by the end. Legs are coming around and felt decent this morning. Still got a good run this morning and saved the legs for a harder effort tomorrow. AP 8:17 with about 550' of climbing.

Nice trail run this morning. Drove to Richfield and started ran the Red Rock Trail, ran up the canyon past the shooting range, really beautiful canyon up there. Ran until the trail ended and headed back.  Tried to keep it easy on the inclines and moderate pace on the downhill.  Tomorrow we are headed to Moab as a family so probably won't have time for any quality runs, just lots of hiking.  AP 9:07 with just under 1200' of elevation gain.

Spent the day in Arches hiking around with the family. Jogged some of it to keep the streak alive... Great day with my family.
