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.

Woke up bright and early and went for a jaunt down on the JRP from Willow Park in Lehi. Headed north 2 mile warm-up, then 6 @half-marathon pace. My stupid Garmin's battery died about a mile and a half into the tempo.   I luckily anticipated my Garmin dying and wore my watch also.    I was averaging just under 7 min. pace when it died so I ran until my watch hit 21 minutes, to give me a minimum of 3 miles, then turned around, finished the second half of the tempo in 20:33,  then 2 miles to cool down. Ap for the run 7:29, 6:55 for the tempo miles

I was trying all kinds of mind tricks to not run in the cold this morning as it was about 14 degrees, but I suited up and out I went.  I wish I had a camera when I was done with all the ice on my eyelashes, and beanie.  It looked like I was 80 years old.

It is time for a new watch! If you're just looking for something simple there are options for under $140-150, too. Good job getting out there in the cold.

Nice workout. I waited until it warmed up to get out there.

Is this the Jimmy I met on Sat? If so, you are a very fast hill climber.
