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.

Set the alarm to go out this morning but couldn't force myself out of bed.  My legs are still pretty thrashed from Ragar.  Sitting in a chair for 12 hours at work didn't help, I got up twice and got on the eliptical at the work gym for 10 minutes at a time to try to loosen them up.  Got home and "ran" very slowly around the neighborhood.  Hopefully I can recover soon with no lasting effects.

Couple easy laps around Liberty Park, stayed in the wood chips. Legs are still pretty sore, however by the last lap I could almost run with a somewhat normal stride. Hopefully by the end of this week I will be good to go again.

Went out from the house along the canal road, up into the foothills, then back home again. Was planning on going 5 but my tummy had other plans. Whew made it home just in time. Just still letting my legs recover, I plan on working up to 15 on Sat. then be back on the plan next week.

Pretty much the same run from the last 3 days give or take a bit. I have been wearing my altra's all week and hope I can transition to them full time after this easy week. Plan on getting in 15 tomorrow, now just have to find somewhere to run without getting smoke inhalation.

Went by my lonesome to the iron bridge, ran south on the JRP, to the inlet park, went up some country roads until I hit 7.5, turned around and did it all over again.  I was pleased to see most of the smoke had dissapated by morning.  Run was ok for me this morning.  I was tempted to turn around at 6 but kept going.  Sure enough about 12 miles in my legs started doing funny things and it felt like a constant battle for the last 3 miles to get my stride under control and not injure anything.  Ended up finishing ok and now my legs are not feeling too bad, AP for the run 8:22.  Hopefully my legs are healed up enough from Ragnar to start training again for St. George next week.  I need my legs to be ready to go.
