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.

Hit the dirt road from bishops towards Poverty.  I like this route as it has some rolling hills but not too much to slow you down all that much.  Plus there is nothing out there and the solitude is nice.  Just wanted to get the legs turning over again.  Stopped at eight to keep the legs from getting overworked for the race in less than two weeks.  Felt pretty good during the run averaged 7:42, with the first four around eight and the last four in the low seven minute range.  Of course with the time change I'm back to running in the dark for the run.  Had the light of the moon for most of it.  My running partner is at grandma's being dog sat while we went to Moab over the weekend.  I miss having her to run with during the mornings.

Long day, had to travel to Salt Lake County for training early, then wrestling practice as soon as I got home, then had scouts after that... ran around the block when I got home from scouts to keep the running streak alive - 69 days

I wanted to get some turnover this morning without pounding the legs. Decided to run up poverty flats on the dirt road. Gradual uphill the first 3.1 miles, about 150' per mile. Kept a comfortable push on the way back to get the lungs working some averaged 6:48ish on the way back. Felt really good and comfortable, got my running partner back from being dog sat over the past week.  She loved running through the sage chasing rabbits again...

Relaxing Friday morning... took the dog up to the hills and did some trail running/hiking.  Just explored around new areas off the trail.  Saw chuckars, elk, and deer...  Didn't find any antler sheds was hoping to run across some to pay for my running shoes.

Spent the morning playing paintball with some other dads and their kids.  Ran a lot laying the hurt on others who could not shoot what they could not catch... good times.  Did my run in the afternoon to acclimate to to the heat some.  I could tell I have been used to running below freezing every morning.  Good run along the dirt roads and 4-wheeler trails from bishops into Poverty Flats.  Just kept it around base pace with the climbs.  Tried another route this afternoon as I felt comfortable exploring different areas since it was light out.  Pretty good route, I'd definetly do it again.
