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.

Ran the dirt road portion of the country loop. Rained heavy last night and continued to have a light rain during the run. Put a long sleeve shirt and jacket on, sad to have it getting cold already. Took a few miles to warm up so I just took it pretty easy this morning.  AP 8:31

Ran from the house to the trails that lead to the hot springs. Ran to the springs then explored around above them, then down to the trail along the power lines. I will have to explore that option again and see how far I can get on it. Legs felt good today AP 9:32

Yee haw had a grand time slip sliddin around in the mud this morning. The rain was dying down as I arrived at the trail. It was a little hairy running in the slippery mud in the dark but took it easy so as not to injure anything. Ran to the gun range then up the canyon about a mile then back along the red rock trail to the car. The portion along I-70 was really slippery but I stayed upright. Only did about 8 to save my legs for next week. AP 9:22

Tempo on the "new" Richard loop, had to adjust it from the new house. Almost exactly 9 miles. Tried to engage the lungs a bit today as I feel they have not been pushed. AP was 7:16 but had some good closing miles with the last four at 7:05, 7:10, 6:43, and 6:30.  Probably the last longer tempo before the race next week.

It was cold this morning, frost on the ground and my little fingers were freezing.  Might have to start wearing gloves in the monring.

Took an easy run up to the hot springs above town, soaked in the "healing waters" under the stars, until the dawn started breaking over the mountains, then back to the house. What a great way to start the day. We are also closing on the new house today, so things are looking up. Just wanted a day to let the legs heal and get rid of any little issues. AP 9:15
