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.

On the road at 5 am this morning. Headed south from the casa until I hit 3.5 then turned around. With the time change it was a dark, solitary run. It was good to have some time to myself to think.  Didn't push the pace and just ran, GPS died 4 miles in and I was averaging about 8:30 pace.  Legs and past injuries have been bothering me some, hopefully just need some rest and not pushing it today I can rebound quickly.

Enjoyable run this morning, went from the house out towards the highschool up the hill into the Ranches.  Turned around when I hit 5.5.  Was thinking about some speed work thrown in the mix this morning but my hip/groin area was having none of that, so I just ran a steady base pace.  Got to watch the sun come up and enjoy the morning.  AP 8:11

Two miles with my oldest and the puppy in the fields behind the house, then added 3 more around the neighborhood while the food was grilling on the grill.  Loving the warm weather!  Just ran nice and easy and enjoyed the warmth.

Slept in this morning until 7 then went out on the Camp Williams loop run from the house. Up and around Camp Williams then down to the JRP, then back up 2100 N to the house. Warmed up three miles until I hit the top of the hill and once I hit the light started a tempo run. First three miles 8:25,8:32,8:54- Tempo miles 6:44,6:52,6:45,6:53,6:46,6:47, two mile cool down 8:39,8:14.

Wanted the tempo miles to be about at half-marathon effort.  Felt pretty good, the last mile I was starting to hurt as I was heading back up the hill on 2100N.  Glad I got this one in and hopefully it didn't aggravate anything too bad and I can continue to get some quality runs in.

Now I get to work all day and into the night.

Couple very easy miles this morning with Laurel and our dog.  Ran around the hood and up the dirt road to the quarry.  It was nice to be out with my two girls...

Out and back from the house all by myself this morning.  We had basketball and football games this morning so I got up early and got this one done.  Headed up 73 to the Ranches then ran south to the 4way stop then ran towards Eagle Mountain until my watch hit 7 miles.  Right when my watch hit 7 the battery died so I turned around.

Had a Davy Crocket sighting about mile 9.  The shamrock half marathon was this morning so I found the mile markers and ran a mile up then back to make sure I got 16 for the morning.  Probable averaged 7:50 for the run.  It was mostly uphill the first 7 and got some good miles coming back with the last few miles in the low 7s.

I was wanting to run the half this morning, but still not feeling healed up and knew I could not hold back on the race and would probably hurt something.  Plus with the games and cost involved I did not even sign up.
