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.

Met up at Corner Canyon for a nice trail run. Beautiful morning for a run. Legs were a bit tight before the run but they loosened up just fine once I started to run.   I really should make it up there a lot more as my office is about 5 minutes from the trails there.

I got to run with some blog all-stars and I was glad they took it easy on me this morning.

AM: Went for a jaunt around Liberty Park with John from work. He only had time for 2 laps. Easy pace in the cushy wood chips. I will try to find time to add some extra miles in later.

Lunchtime run on the Porter Rockwell trail in Draper.  Started out in a snowstorm, with snow pellets the size of nerds candy.  Lasted for about the first 2 miles then stopped.  Felt pretty good the first 5 miles then I turned around and noticed the headwind, no wonder.  Didn't push the pace at all and hopefully I can salvage a tempo run tomorrow.  I was meaning to get this run in yesterday but had too much going on.  AP 8:06

Early solo run on the JRP starting at the Iron Bridge.  2 mile warm-up to Willow Park 8:14,8:16, then 8 mile marathon pace tempo 7:09,7:07,7:10,7:08,7:08,7:04,7:08,7:02, AP for the run 7:21.  Tried to keep all the tempo miles in between 7:08-7:12.  I like doing tempo runs there as it is honest course as it is an out an back and some rollers but not too crazy.  Run felt comfortable hard.  Left leg below my calf got a little tight the last couple miles.  Hopefully just a minor little tweak.

Easy jog with the dog in the fields, left calf has been tight since yesterday trying to see if it would loosen up.

Went with my wife down to inlet park, out and back on the JRP.  My wife did six then got on the bike and met me to ride with me for the rest of my run.  I was trying to get a feel on how my calf would react and cut it short if needed.  I was tight the first little bit, but my 7:50 pace felt like I was running 8:30 pace so kept going, pretty much was a non factor for most of the run. 

Felt pretty good for most of the run, ended up with a 7:47 AP without pushing it too hard.  Wanted to do 20 but I was glad I cut it short, got on the bike and rode home and my wife drove our car.  So an extra 10 miles on the mountain bike into the wind.  So at least my legs got a good workout without all the extra pounding.  I can already tell I got too much sun out there...
