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 up elk hill until I hit 3 miles then came back down.  Pretty muddy down low from all the rain last night.  Had to open the office or I would have ran more, but time was short.

Ran up the dairy dirt road this morning.  Had a skunk with it's tail up in the first quarter mile but saw it before the dog and got control of her and avoided a stinky situation.  AP 8:22

Had to be at the elementary school by 0600 hrs to go on a field trip to watch the Bee's play with the 5th graders.  Did not wake up early to run and was working in the yard all night until dark.  Managed a short run around the block to at least get a run in.

Parked at the bottom of the CC trail and ran to the forest service sign then down the side trail to the North.  Hit the trail along the frontage until I hit 5 miles then went back the way I came,  nice loop but I was worried as it had about 1500' of climbing and my 50 mile I just signed up for has over 9000' of climbing.  I was thinking about doing three loops of this to get a 30 mile run in but it still won't be enough elevation to similate the race.  Still a good run...and I am feeling healthy although worn down from training in the mornings, working all day, then working in the yard all night trying to prepare for grass and garden.

Ran up Monroe Canyon to Monrovian then took the 2nd left hand fork trail to the 3rd left hand fork trail.  Had never ran up 3rd left hand, pretty overgrown at the moment.  Good climbing day for me and me dog, over 3,000 of up and then back down.  Fairly rocky and overgrown on the trail so kept it in control until I was back to Monrovian then took it controlled back down the canyon.

Drove to the trail head at start of the canyon and ran along the paved path that heads to Big Rock Candy Mountain.  AP: 8:08  My legs were starting to get pretty heavy on the way back most likely from my two hard runs the last two days.  I had to keep telling myself it was supposed to be hard and I needed to train my body to run on tired legs.  It also didn't help my power ran out on my music in the first 30 seconds and as I ran to Big Rock Candy Mountain that pesky (although catchy) tune got stuck in my head...
