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.

Had some soreness in the legs this morning from all the climbing last week.  Decided to run the dirt roads from bishops to poverty.  Just rolling hills and gradual inclines.  Felt easy compaired to all the climbing last week.  AP 8:35

Nice trail run along the Red Rock trail in Richfield.  I liked hitting all the elevation last week as these runs feel easy this week with only about 1,100 feet of climbing for the ten miles.  I will try to get up high tomorrow morning...  AP 9:21

Woke up to a nice soft layer of powder snow.  I have been wanting to hit the 1st Left Hand Fork Trail and the road up the canyon was nice enough to get me to the trail head.  Pretty good climb on the way up.  Just tried to keep running and not hike.  My dog was mocking me as she ran up and around me like it was nothing.  Hit three miles and almost 2,000 feet of climbing and headed back down.  There was like an inch or so of fresh snow and still lightly falling.  Just enough to cushion my fall if needed.  The single track trail was covered in rocks and boobytraps which the snow covered so I just kept it pretty conservative until I hit the lower four wheeler trail that led to the canyon road.  Opened it up the last mile in 6:37 with some dodging and creek jumping involved.  Felt great to be cruising down the trail hot on the tracks of my dog.  Love my county life here in Monroe...

Day 104: Headed out from the rodeo grounds hit the fence line and ran along the powerline trail until the trail leading up to Sawmill, then along the path headed south.  Kept the pace fairly easy until I got to five miles then hit a tempoish run on the way back down.  Most miles were under 7 min pace, light snow falling the whole time.

Ran up into Poverty Flats this morning to check the snow totals as I am going to attempt to bring the 11yr old scouts camping there tonight.  Did a progressive tempo on the way back down 7:44, 7:42, 7:20, 7:03, 6:58, 6:34.

Ran from camp while the scouts were still asleep and the sun was just coming up.  Hit 6.2 miles around the dirt roads/trails in the area, then added a bit more later when I was looking for geocaches with my son.
