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.

Went on a hike with Laurel up Little Cottonwood, nice hike, along the creek, then went on another hike up Bell canyon, saw a little rattlesnake right off the trail.  It was wierd hiking in snow one minute and seeing a rattlesnake the next.  PS I hate snakes.

Steep hike up around Grandier Peak.  It was nice to get out a enjoy the sunrise and views.  Got my legs a pretty good workout even though it wasn't officially a run.  I'm guessing around 4 miles round trip.

I did some progressive .55 mile laps during Spencer's football practice.

Paces were 8:25,7:55,7:24,7:03,6:50,6:30 total 3.35miles in 24:35

Then off to Trenton's practice, ran 2 miles around the outside of the park barefoot in the grass. 1st mile 8:27 2nd mile 7:53 nice and relaxed and enjoyed the evening.

I am wanting to possibly do the Provo Halloween Half this year, my wife did it last year at it looked fast and fun.  I am not sure where my fitness levels are for sure now.  I would love to be able to bomb down the canyon, but don't know if my legs could handle it right now.  I need someone to come up with a discounted entry, I don't know wishfull thinking.

Did a jaunt up Little Cottonwood canyon.  Worked my way up to the ridge top then mountain goated my way back down.  Round trip took about 4 hours so I will say 4 miles.  Beautifull up there now.

I had a nice run this morning, started at the iron bridge and went south on the JRP.  I had a hope or aspiration to keep my times under 8 per mile.  I want to build up my speed on my longer runs. Legs felt good, times 7:59,7:57,7:52,7:43,7:42,7:54,7:37,7:34,7:46,7:28,    average pace 7:45, I was definetly pushing it on todays run, want to be able to keep this pace and be fairly comfortable, it would have been hard to keep a converstion for much of the run.  It does give me hope as I was able to push it the last couple miles.  I chatted with Davy Crockett during the run for a little and it was nice to see another blogger on the trail.
