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 the old standby the JRP from inlet park.  Decided to plan on doing 10-12 then bike the rest.  Started out and I was feeling good.  Hit the turnaround at 6.2, I didn't really feel the leg until then.  Even then it was manageable on the way back.  It was really tempting to throw in some faster miles on the way back, but decided to push the legs on the bike and just enjoy the run.  Got back to the car and kept going until I hit 13.1. AP for the run 7:52

Got out the old mountain bike and did the same loop on the bike.  I was averaging between 17-19mph.  Felt good to get the quads worked out without the pounding on the legs.  My plan had me running 17 today, so between the run and the bike I think I got in enough of a workout.  I have hope I will be able to still run well at St. George in 2 weeks.  Got home and jumped in the ice bath and massaged out the legs.  They were not really sore when I got done.  We will see how they feel tomorrow.  I was actually enjoying the bike.  I might have to buy one so I don't keep using my wife's old bike.
