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.

Another very early run this morning at the gym. Still not wanting to run outside in the cold very much...

7 miles, pretty relaxed while I watched The Office season 2 on the dvd. First 4 miles 8:00 pace, the last 3 7:53. Good times, now I get to sit at a desk for 12 hours... woo-hoo.

Once again treadmill run, all by myself at the little gym I can run at. Had a pretty good time watching the Office again while I ran. 2 mile warm up 8:26,8:13, then 7 200 pick ups @6:00 pace with a lap and a half recovery all at 8:00 pace between, finished with 1 400 @6:00 pace, 2 mile cool down @8:00 pace.  Still feeling out how I feel with some speed thrown in the mix.  I didn't want to re-injure anything so I did 200s instead of 400s. 

Felt pretty good during the run.  It is calling for some warmer weather this weekend, if anyone is up for a long run let me know.  Bring on the sunshine.

Recovery day, 4.5 sluggish miles this morning from the house.  The moon and sunrise were pretty awesome though. 

PM: ran with the pup through the fields in the back of the house. Always a good time, but should have brought gloves, my little hands were freezing.

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.

Couple miles with the puppy around the neighborhood and through the fields, my shoes are soaked.  So nice of an afternoon, legs feel like they need more of a break today to gear up for tomorrow morning.

Met up with a few other crazy people for a run up Lake Mountain.  Got up bright and early and got to enjoy a spectacular view once we got to the top.  Cruised around the top checking out other towers and areas then cruised back down the mountain.  We added a few extra miles at the bottom of the mountain.  My legs were feeling good until the last few miles as I could tell I was low on fuel. 

Now my legs are not loving me very much as I had to head home and go to work sitting in a car for 10 hours. 

Got to meet some really great people from the blog and hopefully we can go on some more adventures sometime.
