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.

Went for a short run this morning.  First 3 felt great with the tailwind, then I turned around.  It was not actually too bad on the way back.  Averaged about 7:35 the first 3 then about 8:30 the last 3 with about the same effort.

Got back from the run and went to the High Uintas for a day fishing trip.  I love being able to head up and get away.  Went with my father-in-law, my wife's uncle from Texas, and my oldest son Spencer (9.)  Once again Spencer out fished us all.  It was breathtaking with the fall leaves and it didn't hurt we were catching fish with almost every cast. 

OK, back to running, the legs were feeling pretty good today.  Less than 2 weeks until St. George....

Went with John during our work lunch break to get some miles in around Liberty Park. I love running around the wood chips for recovery runs. Just took it easy and enjoyed myself. Probably averaged 8:30ish. Legs are feeling pretty good, but I have not really tested them much lately with any speed/hills.

Went to the JRP this morning. Started at the iron bridge. Warmed up 2 miles then tried to see how the leg felt with some speed work thrown in. 3x1 mile with a 2 min. jog in-between. 1st mile just getting a feel - 6:44, next mile 6:27 felt good, last mile with .3 ;eft I felt a pain in the shin so I coasted in the rest of the way 6:34, finished with 2 more miles with the last mile at 7:30.  AP for the run 7:30.

Went to Liberty Park for some easy laps around the park. I was pleased my shin did not have much pain just tightness, of course I just took it easy and stayed in the cushy wood chips. 8:12 AP

Went for 6 this morning, started out along the canal trail, then out towards the highschool, then came back the same way.  Saw a skunk at the end of the canal trail, thank goodness for my light as I thought is was a cat at first.  It's tail was up and everything, whew that was close.  Overall the run felt great, pace was pretty comfortable, threw in around 10 striders during the run.  AP 7:36
