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 laps around Liberty Park in the wood chips with my friend John from work. Legs felt pretty good, probably due to the soft surface, easy pace, and only 3 miles, but I will take it.

Decided to take advantage of the nice spring day and my office in Draper. Hit the Porter Rockwell trail for a mid-day run. Out and back, just rolled along and enjoyed being alive. AP 8:15

Went to the iron bridge this morning for a jaunt on the JRP. I know my body does not handle the faster speeds at all now, but I wanted to see how it did with marathon pace miles.

2 mile warm up around 8:00 pace, I felt good during the warm up so I decided to go ahead with the tempo run. I wanted the pace to be between 7:10-7:14. Locked in the pace and felt pretty comfortable for the run, I was planning on going 6 but felt good so I extended it another mile. 1 mile cool down. I averaged between 7:08-7:12 every mile so I was happy with that. AP for the run 7:24

I feel like I left a lot in the tank. I will have to see how I feel later, hopefully if I can just get these tempo runs in at goal marathon pace I can still possibly do well.

I am completely exhausted right now, stayed up late putting in floor last night, woke up early this morning, hit a 20 miler, then off to football, then aerate the lawn, then finish (almost) up the floors.  Whew,  I will sleep good tonight.

Went to the JRP this morning started at the Inlet Park then ran north.  Ran into Mark climbing up the hill to Camp Williams so I turned around and ran with him until Willow Park where he split off.  I was keeping it pretty relaxed, the first mile were right about 8:20 until I met up with Mark and he was cruising along right at or under 9 pace.  I tried to pick it back up after he cut out but my legs were pretty shot by then.  Glad to get the time on my feet, and a pretty nice morning for a run.  Saw all the folks running the Thanksgiving Half...
