Qualify for Boston... missed it by 8 seconds previously

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.

Ran on the dirt road past the dairy up into poverty flats until I hit 5 miles then back the same way.  Decent run, going to try to get more mileage this week.  AP :8:30

Was raining pretty heavy yesterday and much of the night.  I knew the trails would most likely be a muddy mess.  Decided to run with the dog from the house up the canyon.  Nice temps this morning some light fog/clouds up the canyon made for a pretty cool run.  Stayed on the paved road up the canyon until I hit Monrovian Park then took the trail along the creek until I hit five miles then turned around.  Legs were feeling pretty good on the way up and back down.  I just tried to run comfortable and ended up with the last few miles in the low 7's.  AP 8:42 with about 1,200' of climbing.

Got the family out for an afternoon hike to the petroglyphs above town.  Afterwards we let the boys soak in the hot springs.

Went to the hills on the other side of I-70 South/West of Joseph/Sevier.  First time exploring the hills over there.  No trails just cruising around.  Lots of climbing crossing short canyons and I headed along.  Took me almost three hours to only cover sixish miles.  So good amount of time in the legs.  Found a couple old deer antlers.

 

Did a bit extra in the afternoon just to get my 50 miles for the week.
