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.

Couple early morning miles from the house this morning. Just nice and easy enjoyable morning. 8:25 AP. Glad to get this one in as it will be a long day at work (14 hrs) and I usually have no motivation by the time it is done.

Went for a lunchtime run today in Draper. Parked at the corner of 1300 East and Highland Drive. I was hoping for 10 today and thought the parking lot was farther from the equestrian park, nope only .30 miles. Oh well...  had a fun run solo, and got to hit the trails to break up the work day.

Did the same route up corner canyon which I did with Neasts and the gang last week.  Had a moderate effort on the way up and just floated down.  AP for the run 9:29, total time 1:09:15 just for my reference if I do it again.  Was going to add some miles at the end but once I hit the car I did not want to go any further on the paved trail.  Legs felt fine during the run so that's good.

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...

Woke up and my legs were pretty tight and I have been neglecting my puppy so I grabbed her to have a nice jaunt through the fields by the house. She had a blast running, chasing birds, and swimming in the canal. I just enjoyed the morning, my legs loosened up after about the first quarter mile, don't want to do any tempo work today but will try to add some extra miles in this afternoon.

Have the day off so got the kiddos off to school, then headed out from the house for a easy run to hopefully get the soreness out.  Ran into Drew about a mile in and ran with him for a bit to finish up his run.  Hopefully I can do some tempo work with him in the future to be able to push myself.  Continued on solo and just enjoyed the morning.  AP 8:09

Went down to the JRP for my standard Sat. long run, started at the Inlet Park.  Had some fairly tired legs at the start, ran the first 9 averaging 7:56, and feeling fairly smooth.  Wanted to get some marathon pace miles on tired legs hopefully without doing any damage. Ran the last six at MP - 7:12,7:04,7:07,7:06,7:07:7:11, felt pretty good about those miles, did not run with a GPS, just my watch and the mile markers on the trail, so I am hoping the pace is getting locked into my legs.  AP for the total run 7:37

Got some good advice from Sasha concerning the upcoming Utah Valley Marathon and how to properly pace it.  Thanks!
