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 5am to get this one in before work this morning. Legs had no zip and body was feeling pretty worn down. Went south up the little hill from the half, then up the big hill into the ranches until I hit a little over 7, then turned around. Watch died at 10 miles and my AP was 8:09 then.  Got to get this old body to heal up, lungs are fine, not hardly breathing but my groin, ab injuries are no bueno right now.

Had a relaxing run this afternoon in a light rain with some of my favorite people in the world, my wife, my 10yr old son, and our pup.  Went around the house, up the dirt road to the quarry then looped around back home.  It was nice to spend some time out with them.

Had a pretty good run this afternoon.  Went to the gym after work and hit the treadmill.

1.5 miles warm up @ 8:34 pace, then 8 mile tempo run I alternated every mile first 6:53 pace, then 6:49 pace.  Last half mile of the tempo 6:44, then 6:39 last .25.  Cooled down 1.5 miles @ 8:00 pace.

It was nice to get this one in, no fuel only water.

Ran on the treadmill during lunch.  I did not have much time.  Got 5.25 miles in @8:34 pace. It is a recovery day and I didn't want to go any faster than that.  I hope to get 18 done in the morning.

Had to do the unthinkable this morning.  Woke up to about 6 inches of snow at my house and no plows in sight.  I have a lot of obligations today so the run couldn't wait, put the 4 wheel drive on and headed to the gym. 

Had the gym all to myself and ran 18 on the treadmill.  That has to be a record as I don't see how anyone can stand to be on one any longer than that.  Put the office in the dvd player and away I went.  First 9 miles @ 8:00 pace, then 3 @ 7:53, then 3 @ 7:49, then 2 @ 7:30, with the last mile close to marathon pace 7:08.  AP for the run 7:51

Got home and took the pup on for a jog through the fields with my snow boots on for another 1 mile.  Overall I can't complain, got my longest run of the year in and my legs came out of it in ok shape (so far.)
