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.

Five miles before work on the Red rock trail. Fresh fallen snow covering the trail, about 3 inches of new snow. Just me and the rabbit tracks in the snow this morning. I made a commitment to myself this morning to run 40 days straight(minus Sunday's) Took it easy this morning AP 10:32.  Hose froze over so I need to find a way to keep it from freezing.  Getting excited for some winter runs.... now I have to find a spring race to keep myself motivated.

Day 2: Woke up to a snow storm, only a couple inches of snow covering the roads, didn't want to stray too far from home so ran laps around the subdivision. The snow was pretty blinding running into the wind averaged 9:02 per mile. I felt bad for leaving the pup behind yesterday so I let her come and play with me this morning.  The blowing snow pretty much covered my footprints after each lap.  Weight last night 169... time to get to work

Day #3 Drove to the rodeo grounds and did the country road minus the loop, packed snow over dirt road. It was COLD this morning, after I was done it read -1 with a windchill of -21.  I was glad it wasn't snowing.  I could tell it was cold the first mile as my teeth and nose were freezing and was uncomfortable until I warmed up.  Still building base mile and not pushing it at all.  AP 8:43

Day:4 Have the day off so I waited until it was light outside to go run.  Started at the rodeo grounds and worked my way up to the mouth of the canyon then along the foothills then up and around and ended up back at the mouth of the canyon.  Slow going as it was mostly bushwacking on rocks covered with light snow which made it slippery.  Saw a ton of deer on the way down so I made my way over by them then had to make my way back down crossing the flats covered with rocks.  Great adventure to start the new year! 914 ft elevation gain

Day 5: Red Rock trail, packed snow started in the dark, again very cold temps below zero. Felt pretty good don't think I lost too much from my laziness the last few months, who know what I could have gained though. Oh well, looking forward to the new year, looking at possible signing up for the Buffalo 50K on Antelope Island this spring.

Nice run this morning in the sunshine.  Ran from the house up past Mystic hot springs then on the trails up the mystic canyon.  Turned around after a mile or so up the canyon then ran along the foothills on the trails to get some more mileage in then ran back home.  Good run, mostly packed snow... Hopefully I can gradually build my mileage back up and start training again.  AP 9:47 with 650ft of elevation gain
