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.

Unbelivable...48 marathons and one with a broken arm? I've only run 1 and think I've accomplished something!

Funny what endorphins will do, even with a broken arm. I assure you it wasn't good for me. Had to be rebroken later because it didn't set right. Duh. I'm a little excessive but not nearly so much a others. Nice thing is I live in an extrodinary area to run, with lots of mountains. My UTES are playing in San Antonio at bowl game. Would like to go but they're really not that good of a team. Have fun running, what ever distance you enjoy. ....scott
