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 to Liberty Park for a run with the guys from work. When we got there some girl just got in a wreck on a scooter. Helped block traffic and gave her first aid until paramedics arrived. She was not having a good day.

Went 3 laps around the park. 1st lap 7:40 pace, 2nd and 3rd 7:00 pace.  Felt good, wind was blowing pretty good.  Just got a message our poor little apple tree may not make it.  By the time she noticed it was almost laying sideways due to the wind.  I love my trees so I will have to perform a miracle when I get home.

PM: Went out and got me a new pair of running shoes.  I bought a pair of Altra Instincts.  It is my first pair of minimal/zero drop shoes.  I have a wide forefoot so I love the feel of them.  I went out for a few easy miles around the neighborhood when I got home.  Only 5 miles but I think I will really like these shoes.  I have to break my feet/ legs in and transition to them.  AP for the run 8:05. I will do a few easy runs in them before I try some tempo/speed runs.  It was so tempting on the run tonight.  I will give an update later after I have had more time and miles in them.  I am tempted to buy a pair of the Lone Peaks for the trails, has anyone tried them out yet?
