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 for an easy recovery run around the hood this morning. Took it pretty easy, went on a pretty hilly route this morning.

Nice peaceful run by myself this morning. Went to the highschool then up the hill into the ranches, up the parkway, to 73 west a  half mile then turned around and did it all over again in reverse. It was a good climb for most of the first half. Legs felt ok this morning. AP 8:16

Couple easy cheesy recovery miles before work this morning.  I have a good tempo run planned for the morning so trying to keep the legs fresh.  Pretty hilly run this morning around the hood and trails.

Nice tempo run by myself on the JRP this morning.  Started at the iron bridge and went south on a out and back.  I like this stretch as it keeps my splits pretty honest, pretty much flat with some little rollers mixed in.  2 mile warm up to willow park 8:37,8:37: went into the 7 mile tempo trying to keep it around 6:50 ish. -  6:56, 6:51,6:53,6:54,6:47,6:42,6:42, finished with 3 miles back to the car, 8:06,7:57,7:29

Felt pretty good about this one.  I am going backpacking into the high country tomorrow for a week or so.  Hopefully I can get some trail runs/adventures in.  If nothing else I will get a lot of miles on my legs.  And with eating freeze dried meals I'm sure to drop some pounds.  I look forward to this time all year it is  so refreshing to get away and back to nature.

Packed about a 70 pound pack up to the backside of baldy on the face of Timp.  Got to the top dropped off the pack and ran back to the vehicle to get another pack loaded with water.  Legs were feeling it after this one.

Went up from our base camp up into the high ridges on the west side of Timp.  Much of it was either pulling myself up with vegetation or scrambling/climbing rocks.  Got done with the morning adventure and again ran back to battle creek to pump some water for our camp.  Just hiked around camp in the afternoon.  Good day, beautiful county, and a lot of animals around.
