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.

Ran up in the foothills of eastwood for the typical 7 loop, in 55 minutes. Arm is tingling, and I worry a little bit about nerve damage. I'm hoping I can hold on for 26 miles within 4 hours on Park City in 2 weeks. I'm sticking to a basic schedule of tapering. Nothing too fancy or fast.  Weighed in at 166.

A rare evening run, leaving home around 8:00, for a 1:20 hr:min run around the country club and parleys. Took a long time to fall asleep though. I'm not used to running in the evenings. Sundown slowed me down. Woried about falling with my broken arm still in a brace. I'm also a little bit concerned about Park City, though I'm just going to have to slow down, not having had the training I wanted. Oh well. So what.

Autumn felt like it was rounding the corner this morning, with temp's at 44-degrees near the top of Millcreek canyon. Ran to Burke's, met he and David for an excellent run. Most refreshing, and not so much traffic as last Saturday. From Hillside, the run is 11 miles and about 3,300 feet. From 3100 east, we made Elbow in 1:01 (awesome), and 30 min's to the top from Elbow. Caught a ride back down at Alexander Basin.
