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 to get more consistency in my training. Woke up Friday exhausted and went back to sleep, Saturday I woke up early for the youth waterfowl hunt the was putting up blinds all afternoon and going to Spencer's football game. Hope to get some good ones in this week. Ran from the house this morning towards poverty. Slight incline on the way out averaged around 8:30, averaged around 7:40s on the way back, AP 8:02

Nice and dark on the way out with a million worms on the road from the heavy rains last night.

Ran from the water towers up the conservation corps trail, forgot my headlamp so ran in the dark for the first couple miles. Nice climb on the way up, just cruised on the way back to the truck. Only water on this run and could have used some fuel in there, but not too bad. AP 10:05 with 1868 ft of climbing

Started in the middle of the Red Hills Run and ran towards the water towers. I wanted to run hills and it has a fair amount of up and down. Kept a steady pace, but did not push until the last two miles.  Finished strong and felt great.  Did a double with an extra mile further out on the last time out to end around 10 miles.  My first 50 K is in 2.5 weeks and I hope my training will be enough.  I know I have not had enough long runs due to time, but doing what I can without trying to injure myself and most importantly having a lot of fun in the process.

Had a good workout this morning, ran from the new house up to the mouth of the canyon then along the foothill trails until the hot springs then back the same way to the house. 794 ft of climbing, AP 8:35 finished the last two mile in 7:15 and 7:00 and still felt fairly relaxed. It did take a couple miles to warm up my legs from all the hills this week.  Loving this running weather...

Went with the pup to the dirt road from the bishops fields towards poverty flats. No moon made for dark running this morning under a canopy of stars. Took it fairly relaxed on the way out and had a solid effort without killing myself on the way back. AP for the run 8:10 just some rolling hills along the way to keep it interesting.  I was planning on doing a double this afternoon as tomorrow morning will be busy traveling for an early football game.  Need to get a long run is sometime, will have to trick the legs with a double...

PM: went back out this afternoon, pretty windy and had some hard miles into the wind but also some tailwind.  Came home early from work and took a nap which was delightful, fairly hot for the run and I forgot to refill my water from this morning in my pack.  Legs responded well, even though I could tell they were getting tired.  Average pace for the run 7:46, headed on the Sierra Vista road
