Goal Type:

Marathon Finish

Running Accomplishments:

A marathon runner just trying to enjoy good health and running long. 22 years between marathon 6 & 7, raising kids. 48 marathons and counting. Average finishing time ~  3:25. Want to keep this average above 3:30 as I continue to age deepin into my 50's.   Looking for a 3:12 in SLC 2012

Short-Term Running Goals:

Keep my SL Marathon time in "teens". Possibly break the teens (3:12 - 3:00).  Two screws in right knee gives me a reality check on my ambitions. I don't want to sacrafice my joint for too crazy of a goal. Good health is my real goal.

Long-Term Running Goals:

Continue running strong into my 60's, and add to my marathon count.  In 1982 I finished St. George at 2:57, 1 second behind a 60 year old. I've always  wondered if I could break 3 hours when I'm in my 60's. I'd like to find out.

Personal:

Married 26 years. Rosalie and I have 4 children. Love running hills, especially up Millcreek Canyon. I live 3/4 mile from its base.

Redrock Marathon 2011: 3:33 - major accomplish. 3,300' elevation gain.

Couldn't hold it together today. After two previous marathons (park city and mesa falls) in the previous two weekends, my knee was a little sore on the down hills, and I decided to just pull back and enjoy the rode. Funny too, I didn't sleep well and was up four times to pee.  Then just in the first half, I went pee 4 times, and another 2 in the second half. Wow! never had that happen before. Couldn't recall even drinking very much. Anyway, I saw my times slipping away from 3:12 last year, to 3:33 this year. Still, I averaged 3:28 for the three marathons so, okay :)  I wish they started on time. We were 6 minutes late, and I barely got ahead of the half marathoners (10') before they started and blew by me.
