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.

This was a Ragnar training run. I took my car and bike to the top of Gilead, then got a ride down to the Boulevard. Ran up 1.5 miles /800 feet (15:50 min), jumped in the car and hurried down to the bottom, and ran up again 1.5 miles / 800 feet (15:43). This is a 10% grade (800' / 7,800')  just ideal for over Guardsman's Pass next Saturday.

No Gel at miles 20 and 24, as was supposed. So, except for the bagle I had at the beginning, and a gel I took at the start, I had only a few banana slices, and no Heed or sports drink. With my fuel low, I slowed the last 4 miles, maintaining 7 mmp most of the way, then hitting 9. Split at mile 8 = 55:20;  mile 16 = 1:55;  mile 24 = 3:01:20. The last 2.2 miles took 19 minutes. I walked for 20 seconds only at mile 22 to get a good drink, but then my right leg tightened up and I was way slow for about 1 mile before being able to get a pace.  Ryan ran the half. Said he "It wasn't as easy as you said. That hill kept going up forever".  Ha!
