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.

Windy Sunday morning. Ran up to the Inn at Millcreek. Stopped along the way to look at the muddy creek flowing very respectably.

Ran the monster in 51:50, with 4 oz weights in each of my shoes. Why? trying to trick myself into the light weight shoes I'll run Ogden marathon.

The river from the dam was impressive. Kept wondering why no one was kayaking or rafting. A hugh flow. I ran well, but my plantars faciatis hurt around mile 13. Running in the gravel shoulder helped some. I was almost reduced to walking at 18. Makes me mad. I don't know what to do about it. Cortisone shot? I stretch it but nothing helps. Driving home was very painful as the tendons tightened up.

This is a nice run, but I'm confused why it seems harder than SL marathon when it actually has another 500 feet drop. I consistently do 5 to 7 minutes better at Salt Lake. Maybe its because I spend too much time looking around at the canyon and reservoir. I KNOW I spent a lot of time watching the river below the dam. That was amazing.
