Not get injured and stay consistent with my training.

Complete a 50 and 100 mile ultra.

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.

Drove up to Monrovian Park and took the 2nd Left Hand Fork trail up for about a mile and a half then turned around.  Did an extra mile along the trail by the creek.  Legs feel good after last week, 1,500' of climbing this morning.

Lunch run, mid 90's, decided to run up Dairy Fork to check it out.  Deadended when a huge boulder blocked the way about 15' up a cliff, checked out an alternative way climbing around it but would have to crawl through a sketchy looking outcrop with a big drop on the side and loose rocks leading up to it.  Decided to play it safe and head back down.  Ran a bit up the left fork which was way more open.  The heat sapped a lot of my energy but that was the point of the run today.

Morning run with the pup, did four repeats up to the hot springs.  Just enough uphill to get you working up there but can still run it decently then down hill for a third, then flattish for a third of it a bit over a mile and a half for each loop.  Starting to taper down for the race, want to still keep the intensity level up just cut back on mileage for this week.

Ran the foothills up the the base of elk hill, hit 2.5 miles and turned around.  Played soccer with the boys last night and my legs were a bit tight so I just took it easy this morning.
