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.

Couple miles with the dog on the dirt road south of town. Felt pretty good, AP 7:54, need to build my lungs back up. My legs always gave out before my lungs ever did in the past. I can feel my legs are stronger that my lungs now. Got to get them working again...

Started in town at the EMS building/rodeo grounds and ran up the canyon past Monrovian park up the single track along the creek until I ran out of trail unless I had to cross the creek, (didn't want to get soaked yet)  Couple thousand feet of elevation gain in the first few miles.  Just me and Laci, she enjoyed playing in the creek and loves to go running with me.  I was able to run the whole way up, just slowed down for creek crossings on rocks and logs.  Decided to play on the road down the canyon and get some turnover going for the legs and ended up with one mile at 5:56.  Great way to start the morning, AP 9:40  I miss the snow pack on some areas as it is now loose rocks in places and slows you down on the trails.  But it was nice to run on leaves and dirt again, should be a good year if I keep at it.

Short weight training circuit at the gym here at work during a break. Slept in this morning and going to Manti with the youth tonight so probably no run. Hopefully I can get a fun run in tomorrow.

I was planning on a 10 mile trail run, but felt some soreness in my shins so I took it easier today.  Went on the dirt roads south of town into the foothills.  Gradual climb the first three miles, then turned around.  It is fun watching Laci cruise through the sagebrush weaving in an out and over then occassionally chase a jackrabbit willey nilley at full speed, she seemed to be smiling the whole time.  AP 8:29 9:24,9:26,9:36,7:50,7:29,7:10, felt pretty good, about the same effort going up as going back down.

Couple hours playing night games with the scouts while camping on the Pausagaunt (sp?) near Kanab.  Soft sand to play in, pace ranged from stealthy ninja crawl to helter skelter throught the trees while capturing the flag.  Enough of a workout to be sore the next morning.  Spent the next morning hiking around the area at least a couple miles, really pretty country.
