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.

Met up with a large group(9) of other crazy runners for a early morning trail run. My wife saw what time I was setting the alarm for and she said it was "ludicrous" I had never even been up Millcreek canyon before so it was nice exploring somewhere new.

I was planning on only doing one lap, but the legs felt ok and the miles flew by with the other runners so I decided to add another lap. I really love to run on the trails and have spent a lot of time up in the mountains but this was probably the longest trail run I have done. Hopefully after the Utah Valley Marathon I can take a respite from hard training and spend some more time up in God's Country.

Got to meet some more people from the blog and had a great time...

Nice to meet you out there.

You did great out there this morning. I don't know about you, but those trails thrash me in a different way from road running, I think they're both hard.

Did you figure out your watch? If not, use the menu to go to settings, data fields, training field 1. Mine has 3 fields, so if I click on that, then it takes me into the screen where I can set what I want. The big field is blinking, so click the bevel again, and scroll down to "Pace" and tap the bevel to choose it. That one will show you what you're doing at the moment. Then use the bevel to select the other two data fields. I like to have one for "distance" (total mileage so far) and one for "average pace." On the second data screen, I like to see elevation, although I don't use it that much. Hopefully this isn't more confusing than the manual. :-)

Neasts, I think I got the gps set up, and yes my legs are for sure more tight than a 20 mile run on the road. Probably the 2 days in a row of trails.
