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.

Really need to start going to bed earlier and catch up on my rest.  Got home from work and the pup was itching to get out.  Ran with her for 4.5, in the rain, felt really good, ran up the dirt road to the new water tower, then back looped around in the fields and had a blast chasing the dog through the sage brush in the rain, soaking wet and wooping  her up.

Little more than a week and a half until Utah Valley then it is fun run time.  Longing for some mountain time.

Weaved around the roads in the hood with my wife and dog until the time was up and had to get the kiddos off for the last day of school.  Easy recovery pace.

6 easy around the different roads in the hood.  Just enjoyed the morning and got some easy miles on my legs before I had to head home to mow the lawn and finish all the other chores.  AP 8:34

Wanted to run the last few miles of the marathon.  Didn't go all the way to the end but parked a little past BYU then headed up the canyon 6.5 then headed back.  Should be a good race, kept it pretty comfortable going up and coming down.  Maybe I picked it up a little too much on the way back, but still felt really comfortable, mostly averaged in the 7:30s on the way down, did the last mile in 7:02 to see how it felt.  AP for the run 7:50

Done with the physical preparation for the marathon, now I got to build on my confidence.  I need get myself mentally and spiritually prepared for the race.
