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.

SLC Marathon 2009, 2010 & 2011 : 3:15

Late start this morning, but after all the high and jr. high school traffic settled down, I went up to Neff's canyon by way of Oakridge. Lengthened out the run a little and gave it more of a loop feel rather than out-and-back. Light snow made it quite slippery.

Went to the gate - 11 miles with two 2-mile tempo's. Made rattlesnake in 17:49 (good time), hit the bridge near church fork at 29:48 (good time), then the 5800' sign at 33:15. So the two+ tempo miles form snake to 5800 was 15 minutes (12:30 minutes in reverse). Slowed down some and hit the gate at 44:30. Would have made elbow by 1:00 but turned around.  Turned up at the stop sign 1.5 miles to Mt. Olympus , then home. 14 mile run in 1:50.  A good time, and I didn't feel 100%. My stomach felt crowded.
