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.

Went out by myself on a beautiful morning run.  Started at the house and worked my way up to the foothill trails, tried to connect back into the road, but miscalculated where the road was and ended up bushwacking it through a rutted out field for about a half mile until I hit the road. 

I just tried to enjoy the run, no music, and didn't check my pace during the run.  Finished the run with 2 sets of high knees and bounding up hill.  AP for the run 8:29

Ha ha...I got lost running in Amarillo, Tx (in a huge neighborhood) and ran about 7-8 extra miles after I was already exhausted :-( Glad yours was just a slight miscalculation :-)

do you always run with no music?

Janice I usually run with music, however when I do I tend to push the pace more and sometimes when it is dark I don't run with music to be able to hear the cars and such. Sometimes it just feels nice to unplug.
