Short-Term Running Goals:

Get fit again! Casper Marathon on June 8th in Casper, Wyoming. I don't have a specific goal time for it, as I don't know the course real well, but I'd like to shoot for 6 minute pace.

Long-Term Running Goals:

Run for your life! Stay active enough to eat seconds and ice cream without guilt.

Personal:

Married to a beautiful wife AnnMarie, who is also a 3:15 marathoner and the mother of our handsome 2 year old, Myles and newbie Sullivan. Sullivant was born 2 years and one day after Myles was born. Myles knows only one speed--running all out. Kinda like Prefontaine.  Besides running, I enjoy reading, woodworking, fishing, and chasing Myles around our house.

A.M.

Met George Barlow at the top of North Ogden Divide--he was late again--and ran on the Ben Lomond Peak trail. Up the trail for 25 minutes, then turned around. We were both on somewhat of a time crunch--he had to get to Salt Lake and I had to get to Layton to do a job before it got blistering hot.

P.M.

Decided to save some gas and bike to the bank to drop off a check instead of driving, so AnnMarie, Myles and I hooked up the bike trailer and away we went. We made it to the south end of Fruitland drive when AnnMarie's tire--Bam!--went flat in seconds. Fortunately, a passerby with a bike rack on a mini-van offered a ride, and AnnMarie accepted. Myles and I forged on to the bank and made it there mere minutes before closing, only to discover they were closed for the entire week--"Sorry for the inconvenience". Oh well, nothing to do but head for home, Myles in tow. Pulling a bike trailer isn't easy, but I keep reminding myself that it's a good workout. 11 miles round trip, count it as 5 miles running.
