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.

Tuesday six up Monroe Canyon, beautiful morning with Laci the dog. Once again ran up to the turn off to Monrovian park 3 miles, stretched then ran a tempo run/speed work back down.  5:57,6:14,6:06 total 18:17 AP 6:06.

It hurt like it should have, trying to get more comfortable at faster paces, trying to control my form and breathing.  Fun running down through the cliffs along the stream, nobody else around but deer and rabbits.

Ran the dirt road/pavement loop south of town today. My left hip area has been bothering me after my speed workouts the past several weeks. I usually feels better in a day or two and I have been using the roller on it. Wanted to keep it easy today to not aggravate whatever it is but still get a workout.  I have also been having a sore throat at night the past few days so I slept in longer than usual this morning.  AP 8:05 averaged around 8:20 on the dirt road and 7:45 on the road.

If I am feeling good tomorrow I will hit the trails in the morning... going camping with the scouts tomorrow night so I will not have much time for a workout this afternoon.

Went up Monroe Mountain this morning.  Attempted to run up as far as a could, gave up about 3 miles in and enjoyed power hiking/jogging the rest of the way up.  In the pines there was snow on the trail which was quite icy in spots making for some slow going up and down.  I love the smell of pine trees and fresh mountain air.  I wanted to keep going and going once I got up near the top however I only had water on this run and was feeling low on fuel so turned around after 5.4 miles.  Just cruised on the way down, steady yet in control.  Me and the dog will both sleep well tonight.
