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.

Feeling better. Was quite tired last few days. Being sick since three weeks ago today has taken a lot of energy from my life, along with two marathons and full work schedule. Today I went as fast as I could, which was slow, up to Neff's canyon and on the way back, went into Powers circle for 5.

Couldn't hold it together today. After two previous marathons (park city and mesa falls) in the previous two weekends, my knee was a little sore on the down hills, and I decided to just pull back and enjoy the rode. Funny too, I didn't sleep well and was up four times to pee.  Then just in the first half, I went pee 4 times, and another 2 in the second half. Wow! never had that happen before. Couldn't recall even drinking very much. Anyway, I saw my times slipping away from 3:12 last year, to 3:33 this year. Still, I averaged 3:28 for the three marathons so, okay :)  I wish they started on time. We were 6 minutes late, and I barely got ahead of the half marathoners (10') before they started and blew by me.
