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.

Still haven't made it out on a run.  I did mow the lawn this afternoon, it had been seriously neglected.  Legs feel ok, just sore if I go into a deep squat.  I also have what feels like a knot in my left hamstring.  Hopefully a little shake out run will get rid of it.  Sunday and Monday were pretty rough with all the stairs in the house.  I told myself this would be my off week.  After the marathon I went to smash burger and got the biggest greasy burger and fries I could find after months of watching what I ate.  It was better dreaming about before the race than it was after I ate it.  Hopefully I will get back into it soon.  I was planning on running at work but did not get a break all day, pesky criminals won't take a day off so I can't either.

1st run post-marathon.  Been taking it easy the past week.  Still had a pain in my left hamstring, hopefully it goes away soon.  Other than that my legs just felt really heavy like after a big training week.  Went with my wife as we are running ragnar together in a few weeks.  I don't know if I want to go on the father and son's campout tonight with the wind and rain predicted.  I will try to get a few more easy runs in before I test the leg out, don't want to do anything stupid and ruin the rest of the year.

Went for a windy run with Spencer (9), we are signed up as a family to run a 10k in American Fork on Monday.  Well me and Spencer are doing the 10k, my wife and Trenton (7) are running the 5k, and TJ (5) is running the mile.  My hamstring is doing ok, still can feel it but felt much improved from yesterdays run so I am hopefull it will continue to loosen up and is not too injured.  This week has been a week of glutony and laziness.
