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.

Lunch run up the CC road to the sign then down a new trail Shane pointed out then looped back to the car. Good effort during the run. Short but good climbing and work for the run. Might have to do it more often during lunch. On a side note my shoes are beyond worn out but too cheap right now to get some more. I need to find a good deal soon...

On a side note took the family to the high school track/football field last night for some football and ended with sprints with the whole family on the track. Didn't have the mileage so didn't log it...

Sent up Shingle creek to the lake then looped back down 1st left hand fork. Shingle creek is a steep rocky bugger. Mostly power climbing and running where possible, bout a 1000 ft. of climbing each mile on the way up. 1st left hand is more gradual and nice to run in the pines until the last mile or so where it is also a rocky mess and hard to get any speed without killing yourself. Saw some nice bull elk during the run, must of rained last night because between the stream flowing down the trail on the way up and the water on the overgrown bushes I was drenched on my bottom half for most of the run. Add to that the stinging nettle and I was wet and itchy when I was done but with a smile on my face as it really is a great loop. I may try to continue up 1st as I believe I found the trail that links it to Thompson Basin on my way down... excited to try that one...Legs are feeling good and strong, just need to cut a few pounds and lean up a bit.

Finally made it to the towers from 1st left hand fork. I saw what I thought was the trail that linked them all together yesterday and sure enough it was. Took 3:16 to finish the run this morning so a good amount of time on my legs, with almost 3,200' of climbing. I could afford to be in to work later this morning so I finished the run. Only saw 5 bull elk and one deer. But it was fairly thick with trees in there, but as usual not another soul around for miles. My wife called to make sure I was ok as I was finishing up and I convinced her to make some bacon and eggs for when I got home as I was starving....mmmm bacon
