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.

Got the week off, so I headed up the canyon this morning.  Drove up a ways then parked along side the dirt road heading up to the peak.  Ended up being a little over 7 miles to the peak from where I parked.  I was suprised I didn't see more animals just a couple does.  I bought a monocular to put in my running vest to look over the valleys and meadows, it is fun to spot animals on the run.  Legs felt OK a little heavy but I'll take it.

Met Laurel and Spencer at the hot springs this morning.  I took the long loop there and they took the direct route.  Ran pretty easy except for the segment up Monroe Canyon road then hit the trails until the hot springs.  Let the legs soak up the healing hot water for a while then ran home with the family.  Loved it this morning...

Solo trail adventure this morning.  Started up signal creek and made my way to Washburn Res. then another two miles to Mud lake.  3,859 ft of climbing, the trail was pretty rough on most parts so it was a lot of power hiking on the way up.  Some sections through the pines were fun.  Saw a rabbit, grouse, a huge snake, and a huge bull elk.  Lost the trail on the way back but used the map feature on my phone and got back on track.  Not anywhere to get speed pretty rocky on the way down.  Still 3.5 hours on my feet and got to explore some new country.
