Not get injured and stay consistent with my training.

Complete a 50 and 100 mile ultra.

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.

Started at the bottom on the canyon road and ran up the canyon for four miles then back down.  Added some extra laps around the pond.

Ran from the forest service boundary up to the top to the towers on Thompson Basin.  Got my PR on the way up: 57:23.  2,466' of climbing.  Good solid push on the way up, I was only forced to walk for about 50 yards right by the top as the snow bank started breaking through.  Just cruised on the way down...

Ran on the dirt road from Bishops, as usual not another soul around just me and my dog.  I had my music in this morning and enjoyed being able to run faster without running up the mountain.  Nine miles, felt good.

Ran Flat Canyon this morning.  Had some tightness in my left achilles so I took it pretty easy.  I was planning on doing six or seven but once I hit the slot canyon and started exploring I kept going until I needed to call it to get to work.  Pretty cool area up there once you do some climbing around the boulders blocking the way and can keep going up the wash.

Took the dog and went on a hike in the hills south of town.  Pretty steep but short and sweet.

Met up with Shane at the parking lot by the gun range above the Orem Cemetary.  Ran the trails (possible called middle earth) until we changed sides of the road and ran south of the canyon by Bridal Veil Falls, came out by Indian Springs then made our way back to the parking lot.  Felt good to hit my old trails again, nice loop and we beat the rain.
