Run on trails as much as I can.

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.

Woke up feeling much better, I think maybe just a migrane last night and probably some old bones. Went to the gym this morning, 1 mile warm up at 8 pace then miles 2-5 at 7:30, with mile 6 at 7:03, cool down the last mile at 8:00 again.

Run felt pretty good, not breathing too hard, but still a sweaty mess. I think it is still pretty hard on my body to go from 3 miles a week for the past couple months due to injury then back to 7 miles a day. I probably need to take it easy every other day then get quality workouts in the others until my body is adjusted to training again.

I feel my old bones, too. I was off for about 6 weeks recently as well and also have just kind of jumped back into things. Key for me has always been recovery days, which we need more and more of the older we get. On those days, don't worry about your pace; just leave the watch at home or take pride in your ability to take it slow(er). Your bones will thank you for it come race day.

We're planning a Lake Mtn. group run a week from Saturday around 6:30-7:00 a.m. if you and anyone else can make that work.

The Lake Mountain run sounds fun, I have had running up Lake Mountain on my short term goal list for a while now. Keep me informed on the details, and thanks for the invite.
