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.

Couple easy miles this morning before work. Nice full moon out. I kept the pace fairly easy AP 8:40. I want to average 7 per day this week with more on the weekend and gradually build up from there. By spring I want to be consistantly doing 70 miles a week.

Ran with the guys from work around Liberty Park.  I decided to sleep in this morning and take advantage of the warm weather this afternoon.  3.25 miles there AP7:34

Got home from work and did another 3.75 to hit my 7 miles for the day.  AP8:05

AM: 4 this morning from the house.  Ran up the dirt road until I hit 2 then back home.  AP 8min flat.

PM: Liberty Park around the wood chips.  3 laps AP 7:54 

Really needed to take advantage of the warmer temperatures today.  Glad I got some miles in today so I don't feel so bad stealing all the kids candy tonight.  Happy Halloween!

I have to work late today so I waited until the kiddo's were off to school then went down to the JRP for a run.  Nice morning for a run, started at the iron bridge and went south.  The run sort of turned into a progression run of sorts.  Who can resist when Eye of the Tiger comes on the I-pod.  7:59,7:41,7:30,7:36,7:36,7:24,7:15,6:51  AP 7:29

I signed up for the Utah Valley Marathon last night.  I am contemplating on what goals to set for next year.  Right now I am thinking about 3:05 for Utah Valley, then try to go sub 3 in the fall.  Tried to get the last mile this morning around the marathon pace for a sub 3.  Whew it will be fun trying to hold that for 26.

Went up for my weekly jaunt up in the mountains. Went up Big Cottonwood, then up guardsman's pass. Hit a trail and went north. Kind of crunchy snow up there in places. Power hiked/ ran when not too icy. Very nice morning, went by myself and did not see another human. Did have 20 elk cross in front of me and also saw a coyote and some deer.  No gps but I am guessing at least 7.

This morning I did the ranches loop by myself. Added the loop by the Maverick from the Shamrock Half. Planned on just keeping it at base pace but I guess my legs wanted to run a bit faster this morning.  AP 7:30

Miles were as follows: 7:58,7:52,8:29,7:44, whew up the long hill, 7:28,7:24,7:13,7:02,7:25,7:13,7:06, last .5 6:38

Probably just keep building my base the next few weeks and throw in a couple tempo runs in the mix.
