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.

Black sheep group; ran st. mary's foothills. I pushed but held back. Was stiff at first. Then as most of the group were tiring, I was just starting to feel loose. We ended with 7.

Long and slow. Across Parley's Canyon, down and around Sugarhouse Park, up to Tanner's Park, through the gulley and across the freeway, up into the foothills near the water tanks, and home. Started out at 28-degrees. Ended at 31-degrees 2 hours later. Wanted to got 18, but needed to see the YSA basketball game. Red Rock Marathon in two weeks.  Felt slow having run for the last two weeks in shorts, but this time needing my long pants. Actually it was slow. That's what I get from a combination enchalada / taco plate at Tres Hombres the night before.
