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.

Epic group night run to the top of Mount Timpanogos.  There were 18 of us, felt good on the way up, and just chatted with the other runners.  I didn't bring my garmin so I did not have the exact.  Saw Crockett on his way down and on his way up as he did a double that night.  I got to the top in 2:13, felt fairly easy on the way up.  Hung out in the shed for about 15 minutes, we got to the top around midnight.  On the way down I stopped and helped another runner fix his headlamp and also chatted with another runner for about 15 minutes as he was struggling.  Ran most of the way down by myself.  I could feel my groin/hip flexors tightening up on the way down and could not get any speed out of my legs and I was done by the end of it 1:58 down..  Hung out at the finish with the other crazies and had a great time.  Got to figure out what I need to do, hope it was just a bad day for the legs.

I really thought I would not be able to walk in the morning but my legs are ok now.
