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.

Before work run up Monroe Canyon this morning, 3 up 3 down.  Stayed on the road, didn't hit the trails.  Ran with the light until I got to the top then it was light enough not to use it.  Kept a moderate pace on the way down, hopefully without overdoing it, felt in the 10K/Half effort range.  6:12,6:26:6:28 on the way down.  Tried to focus on breathing and remaning relaxed.

Had both sets of running clothes set out last night. Woke up to three inches of snow and still coming down, so I scrubbed the trail run and did my first treadmill run in a long time. I believe I have been needing to work on my flat running, downhill and uphill from the trails feel ok.  Warmed up one mile then kept upping the speed every mile .2.  Ended the last mile at 8.2 or about 7:19 pace.  It felt hard today and I was planning on cooling down for another two miles but was feeling a bit "woozy" and couldn't stand to be in there on the treadmill any longer.  It was hot in there with no fans and I worked up a good sweat.  Maybe I will take the kids on a run tonight to get the extra miles in.

Ran the red rock course again this morning. I like the loop, pushed the pace this morning, but not into race mode, just out of the comfortable box. Got 9.58 miles on the GPS, this morning.  Miles for my future reference :7:51,7:53,7:41,7:41,7:38,7:46,7:44,8:48 climb to water towers, 8:04,last .58 7:34  AP 7:53 total time 1:15:28

Since I like round numbers finished up until I hit 10 as a cool down.  Love running on the trails when the sun is out in the morning.
