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.

Typical loop down to 23rd and up around eastwood. Had snowed lightly. Wasn't cold but felt cold, maybe low atmospheric pressure. Muscles were stiff. Made it in 1-hour. Talked to Larry on the road, and waited 2 minutes for a light to change.

13.3 miles at 1hr 43min, light snow but warm. T~34deg. Went the loop to base of big cottonwood canyon, down through holladay, and back by way of thursday's course except turning up by tanner's. Was hurting a little in the lower legs. Felt stiff at times. Next week would like same course, then after refuling, head up canyon for another 8 miles. Six more weeks to Red Rock
