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.

Started the morning with a hike with my wife out of Richfield along the red rocks.  Left work early to attend the kid's track practice.  Ran some sprints and other exercises with them at the track.

Got up early and went up 1st left hand fork this morning.  One of my favorite trails so far in the area.  Explored around top a bit, came upon a newborn calf elk feeding from it's mother for a couple minutes.  Pretty cool to watch up there.  Legs were feeling the sprints yesterday on the track on the way back down.

Drove up the canyon until the turn off to the peak.  Ran on the dirt road at the top until I got to the Manning Meadow Reservior.  Pretty run, elk were in the meadows around every corner. It is good to work the lungs up there as it is between 9,800 and 10,400 feet elevation.  Gained around 1400 feet of elevation gain along the way.  I can tell I am out of shape, but the mountain just begged me to go further...

Drove south of town and ran along the dirt roads along the foothills.  Good run this monring, spotted some trails along the way up the mountain I didn't know existed, must explore later...about 2000' or climbing

Ran the loop above the hot springs, kept a good pace running the uphill first couple miles.  Decided to bail off trail and loop back down behind the spring.  Good fun running down the slick rock and sandy wash

Went to the dirt road leading out of to poverty from the bishop's.  8:27 AP enjoyed this run, dog was lagging the last mile or so, chasing too many rabbits on the way out.  Also saw my first snake of the season (just a gopher snake chilling on the road)

Morning trail run while at Girl's Camp.  Snuck away at 5 am and ran from the campground to Keyhole Arch then down to Tropic reservior.  Nice trail and run...

We did a service project helping a neighbor tear off his roof over the weekend and Monday.  I am getting old because it wiped me out, being in the sun all day working.  Slept in the last few days and just went to work.  Had to force myself to break out of the slump this morning.  Trail run from the hot springs road along the foothills with my dog.  AP 8:31

Ran the road leading to the towers up on Thompson Basin.  Steady climb the first few miles then ran home.  Some tightness/slight pain in my right leg, I will have to keep an eye on.

Met up with a group from the Utah County Trail Runners at the Rock Canyon parking lot at 5AM.  Ran to the top of Provo Peak and back, about 6,000' of climbing with a couple thousand feet of climbing in the last mile to the top.  I was feeling the lack of miles on the way back but it wasn't too bad.  Still took me 4:47 round trip so more time on my legs than a marathon and now a couple days later I can attest my quads took a pounding about like a marathon.  Really fun run with a new group...
