Complete a 50 and 100 mile ultra.

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.

A miracle happened and I got up and ran this morning. Drove to the foothills and ran up to the hot springs then followed the dirt road/trail that parallels the power lines. No crazy climbing just rolling hills just what I needed.  Tried out my new Altra Lone Peak 2s.  Felt great, more cushion, but responsive enough.  I bought two pairs on black friday so I better like them...  

Felt really good to get back running, just took it easy and let my legs and lungs adjust to the work.  Shouldn't be too hard to get it back and go from there.  I do need a new headlamp, the one I bought sucks and I stole my son's flashlight to compesate for it.  I have had some hikes and such as I have been focusing on duck hunting with my puppy for the last little bit.  Got to sign up for a spring ultra to kick myself into gear.
