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.

Well I had really good intentions to run last week, ended up coming up with a cold that kept lingering and could not motivate myself to get up in the mornings with my sore throat to run. 

Forced myself to get my gear on and get out the door tonight as soon as I got home from work.  I'm sure my wife was not too happy to have me head right back out as soon as I got home, but I needed this one.

Went to the dirt road south of town, 3 up and back,  wanted to see how my legs responded the last 3.  I have a lot of work to do still.  I was pushing it pretty good and it hurt, just how I wanted it to feel.  Now I know where I am starting from.

Miles were as follows: 8:15,8:24,8:58, 7:05, 7:06,7:02

Hopefully it pushes the rest of the funk from my lungs.

That's some good turnover even on a downhill. I'm glad things are settling in with your new area. Methinks you are the original Monroe Mountain Wrangler. :-)
