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.

Early run. Went across wasatch pedestrian bridge, all the way 1.5 miles to top of Gilead, back down and then up to Neff's Canyon, and home. Felt way nice to climb those hills.

A ringing wet one. Rained then snowed. Started at 43-deg. Ended at 35-deg. Went the 13.35 route to 7-eleven at base of canyons, and back through holladay to S-curve, up berkshire.  Stopped my watch at 1:40:00, Changed out of my  heavy wet shirts and gloves and into dry (except shoes which were soaked too but...) Got a drink and left again. Went up to top of Gilead 2.8 miles 28 mins, gaining ~800 feet, so not too bad being tired and wet with slushy ground snow. Retract up to Neff's trail head, and down to canyon road. Up the 1.33 miles to water tanks, again gaining ~400 feet, then back to canyon road. Turned up the 0.5 miles to fee station, and finially home.  The second route was 9.5 miles, and it took 1:30:00 way slow but cold and wet slowed me down. Didn't have any nourishment except for 20 oz gatorade. A little weak. Overall 22 miles in 3:10. Under such conditions, I'm pleased. Need to work on hills and speed now for the next two weeks.
