Not get injured and stay consistent with my training.

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.

Ran the local race in Monroe.  I haven't raced a shorter race in years, so I didn't really know what to expect.  Pretty disapointed in the way I raced or failed to race.  Don't know what has been going on but my last two races have been terrible.  I'm pretty sure I can run it tomorrow solo for a training run and do better.  Oh well, might just have to run slow trail races and enjoy it.  The kids ran the one mile race down main street, and I won 7 bucks for second in my age group so it almost covered the ten dollar entry fee.  First mile started out quick and I was holding back in about 15th until it calmed down and ended up in fourth at the mile 6:29, next miles were, 6:37, 6:52,6:50,6:55.  Ran with a high school kid the last mile or so.  Should have dropped the hammer a while before and dropped him but didn't and he out kicked me at the end.  Didn't even have the motivation to push it, got to figure out what is going on.  I'm sure it is 90% mental, or maybe that is where I am at physically now.
