| Location: Salt Lake City,UT, Member Since: Dec 29, 2009 Gender: Male 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.

| Without any warmup, I ran the 3 mile loop in 22: 18, even stopping to spot a wood pecker loudly drumming on a telephone pole. |

| I awoke at 6 and found an inch of snow on the lawn. So, guessing that there would be more up the canyon, I laced up. There were lots of tracks in the snow ahead of me. Turned out to be five girls out running. They turned around at the haven, and I kept going where the snow got to be about 4" deep and still snowing. Absolutely gorgeous. Turning around, though, I realized I had a tail wind going up, which was now in my face. It was soft on my soles running down in the snow. Unfortunately, it kept getting less deep and by the four mile mark, I was pretty much back on wet pavement. Total time 1:30. Happy to have gotten out. |

| Trying to stay in the Thursday morning habit that I formed over the past year, and run Parleys park up to the frontage road. Sometimes I vary the distance, adding an extra mile by going up and into the foothills. Not today though. I was glad to get out. My right plantars faciatis really burns for the first mile or so. By around 3 or 4 its gone away. |

| Started out strong, then didn't do so well between 10 and 18. But I took a drink at 16, with a GU, and an Excedrine, and things got better after that. I finished in 2:58 net time, 3:10 gross time, stopping to change shirts, hide gloves, and fish out my drinks, and take a couple potty breaks. The route took me across parleys crossing after going up into the eastwood area, then down 21st, over to Parley's Way, down to Highland High, around sugarhouse and back to Highland High. Then south, by Oly Jr., the canal road, Hilsden, back along Wander, to the S-curve, up Evergreen, the frontage road above Skyline, and home. |
