| 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.

| Hit all the dead ends up Monster. It was about 6-degrees up near the mountain. Exilliarating. Later in the evening, about 7:00 with clear sky full of stars, and temperatures at 5-degrees, Ryan and I put on yak tracks and ran 4 miles; up rattlesnake gulch to the look out and back. Not a sole was out. | | Add Comment |

| Inversion was terrible. I waited until some of it had burned off, leaving at 8:30 and returning at 11:00. I went up to the olympus cove, then down wasatch blvd to 6200, and back through holladay. I was not feeling in shape, so I took it slow. | | Add Comment |

| 2hrs:30mns: = 8:15/mile; Left late ~ 8:15. Nice morning, 30-F. Ran to stop sign to leave a drink, then back and over to run the monster with all dead ends. Back to the stop sign at 8.2 miles for a drink. Then up millcreek canyon to the snow gate and back home. Felt fine, better than last weeks 17. Total elevation gain was about 2,600'. Maybe I'll go long again next saturday. I have a planters wart at the ball of my left foot. |

| I missed getting out this morning with the black sheep. It has been such a nice day that I went right after work running past HHS...up through the country club...21st S...and across Parley's Canyon. Ran in shorts. 1 hour 19min. I'm rarely ahead of 1:20, so I'm stoked. |

| Early run into the fog, up MCC to elbow fork and a little beyond, where the sky was crystal clear. Back down into the inversion, the up Parkway where I ran the Monster with all the dead ends, in reverse. I was hammered, having been sick all week. 3:45. Must have gained about 3200. |
