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.

Whew, it is a hot one out there. Got done at 3:30 and the sun was very hot in the dirt trails. I was wishing I had a hat during the run. Glad I was solo as I would have blinded anyone around as I went shirtless and used my shirt as a bandana half way through the run.

Needed to break up the monotony of the day at the office so I did a solo trail run up Corner Canyon in Draper.  Did the same route we did with Neasts and the gang a few months ago.

Just trying to get the last bit of soreness out of the legs from Ragnar, mowed the lawn yesterday and felt today was the day to get back to it.  Just wanted to keep running the whole time today, mission accomplished, didn't walk once, just kept it consistant.  Took 32:15 to get to the gate at the top, and 1:05:15 total.  Just wanted to keep track for future runs. 1200 vertical feet

It was really nice to get out and hit the trails.  A smoothie sounds about perfect right now.

Wednesday Wire with some of the Wasatch Wranglers.  First time running up Wire.  It was a lot more power hiking on the way up than I imagined.  There were a total of 5 of us, who met up at 5:30PM which meant for some hot running as it was in the mid 90s.  If nothing else I can say I won a race as I was the first one to the top in 39:35.  I was sweating up a storm and got seriously humbled on the way down as the other guys tore down the mountain with what appeared reckless abandon.  I thought I was moving ok but they just ripped right by me. 

 

I did pick up some pointers for downhill running watching and talking with them.  Maybe some day... I do not know the total mileage I heard somewhere between 5.5-7, so I will put 6, but it felt like 20.  Total time with stops at the top and everything 1:27:47
