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.

Holy moly, had to log something tonight or forget my password due to not running for so long.  Been dealing with some tweaks I needed to ease up on.  Went out with the pup in the fields above the water tower.  Hopefully I can get some decent runs this week to feel this out.  On a plus note I have had a lot of energy to work on the house, painting and putting in wood floors.

Wednesday Wire with the Wasatch Wranglers crew. 5:30 am start, just one lap for me. It was good to have a run to see how my body was feeling but not totally kill myself. As usual I can usually get uphill decent and made it to the top in 40:39, I was taking it pretty easy the first half then pushed it a bit more the second half up. 

Ran pretty much by myself on the way down.  I am almost getting the hang of running trails downhill.  At least it felt better and smoother than the last time I ran it.  Probably should invest in some trail shoes as my instincts are slicks on the bottom.  Good times and by body did not protest too much.  Hopefully I can keep it up and get some more adventures in soon.

Early morning Timp. Summit with Ben, Nate, and Neasts.  I was a little worried after bonking pretty hard on the way down a few weeks ago on our night summit.  Got there at 4:00AM and the parking lot was full.  Had to shuttle some cars down the road and did not get started until about 4:30.  I pretty much ran with Ben the whole way up.  1:58 moving time to the top.  Felt pretty strong on the way up. There was a lot of waiting on hikers on the way up and down.

Hung out at the shack at the top, refueled, and took some pictures then headed down, we stayed together on the way down.  Felt fairly strong the whole way down, 1:34 return trip. With all the waiting on hikers and not killing ourselves.  Legs are feeling pretty good now, just need a nap.

 

It was like we were rock stars running up past the hikers....
