| 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.

It's too hot to run at 5:00 in the afternoon like I did today. I had to stop 5 or 6 times in the shade to cool, if I can call it that. Running along the foothills, I was watching for snakes. But instead I startled dozens of quail, grouse, and doves, all hanging out in various shady areas. Then I quenched in the kids summer swimming pool and the little dog joined me. | | Add Comment |

Black sheep at East High track. Ladders: 3x400; 2x800; 1x1200; 2x800; 3x400, with 200 in between, plus 1.25 warm up and cool down. My time picked up on the last set of 400's, at 1:33 down to 1:26. 800's were in the 3:10 range. 1200 was at 4:40. | | Add Comment |

| Ran around the old Thursday route from home, wtih Burke & Erik. Lots of walkers, runners along Wander Lane. It was okay. We pushed the pace a little, hitting 9.2 (from Erik's) at 71 minutes, ~ 7.5 mpm. Getting ready for Des News next Saturday, and trying to figure how to train this Saturday. Maybe a long downhill run such as from Elbow or from Top of Canyon. That's always nice. There is a two mile uphill on the course, but I've trained all year for hills. Downhill has been okay too, but if my quads aren't strong, I can hurt my knee. Plus it's been hot and a top of canyon run would be chilling. | | Add Comment |

Along 17th to Highland high, up Parleys, accross the canyon, back home in 1:17:00, ~ 7.5 mpm. I tried to put down a VO2 interval for 11 minutes, as recommended by Amby, but only got 1.6 miles, or 6:47 pace, which is a little slow for VO2 but faster than lactate threshold. So, whatever. It was a good stretch anyway. Didn't want to crash my calf. | | Add Comment |
