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.

Went south from the house towards the highschool, mixed in 10x100yard sprints in the middle of the run with 4 uphill ones. Run felt pretty good today. Hopefully it will be a good training week. AP 7:53

Beautiful run this morning. Started at the inlet park then went south on the JRP turned around at 7 then headed back.  I am still trying to figure out how to run in minimal running shoes.  Maybe my legs are trying to adjust.  Felt pretty good this morning.  AP for the run 8:06. This will be my highest mileage week ever if I can keep up with the plan.  It is sure getting hotter out there and the bugs are coming out, ahhh extra protein.

Some recovery miles around Liberty Park during lunch. Went with Blake and Terry, just stayed in the wood chips and tried to take it easy. It is getting hotter out there, treated myself to a ice-cream cone from Artic Circle on the way back to work. I was planning on doing 5 but with time constraints only managed 4.5.

Had a great run this morning. Went from the house to the canal trail to SR-73 up the hill towards the Ranches. Went south at the Maverick and turned east at the stop sign, cruised down the hill and headed back home.  I think this will be a regular run for me with different variations, there is over 500 feet of climbing, some flats and downhill. 

Legs felt pretty good, the last few miles felt great.  I am hopefull my body can handle the higher mileage.  Tomorrow I am taking my son fly-fishing to the high-uintas.  We are leaving very early in the morning and hiking/fishing all day.  I don't know if I will manage any running miles unless a bear is chasing us.

Had a great run this morning.  Started at the inlet park in Saratoga Springs and headed north.  Went out 9, just past the wind turbines at Camp Williams and came back.  Boy it is getting HOT out there.  My hat had a constant dripping of sweat on the way back.  I ran pretty comfortable the first 9 and negative split the second half.  Pulled a Jake and did a marathon pace mile the last mile 7:11.  AP for the run 8:00 exactly.  Highest mileage week ever....

Yesterday was a great day in the High Uintas with my son.  Although I didn't log any miles we hiked all day and lost count of the fish we caught.  Great memories..
