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.

Woke up early and did a solo 50 K on the redrock trail above Richfield. I like to do a five mile stretch there so 10 miles round trip. I parked at the two mile point so I could have an aid station at the four mile and six mile points. Tried to keep about a 10 minute pace during the run. Not alot of elevation but did 2,361' of climbing. Mostly in the first couple miles of each 10 mile loop then just some short ups and downs the rest of the route. The trial was not muddy but has some serious ruts from some people who drove their vehicles on the trail when it was muddy. Took a gel at about mile 20 and a couple sample packets of jelly bean things. Felt fairly good the whole way, my hips/joints got a bit tight towards the end. I mainly did this run to test out some things and try to find a sustainable effort pace for my 50 miler in a few weeks. Averaged 10:07 pace for the time I as moving, probably spent another 20 minutes refueling at my vehicle.
