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.

Very windy and biting cold, especially on the face. I even turned around 1/4 mile from home, but then turned again and got-er-done. Went up into Oly cove where the wind was protected by the mountains. Ran to Neff's, then back down. Checked out Eastwood but the wind picked up from Parleys. Made it to the top circle, then back.

No one met me down by Burke's, so I ran the loop into Parley's gulch, then up into Eastwood for 7. Even messing around and waiting for some of the group, I made it less than an hour.

A long-slow-distance run. Left a little late, at 6:45. Down Tanners, up eastwood hills and down to stop sign. Had a drink at 6.3. Then down to Wasatch Blvd, over to Oakridge and up. Detoured onto Jupiter then back along Adonis. Did two of the four dead ends: Mathews and Crestwood. Then up to Neffs and down to my drink again at the stop sign. That was another 6.8. Hooked up the fuel belt and took my GU to the gate and home, for another 10. Total 23. Lots of hills. Every bit as many as the Red Rock. I felt sluggish and weak until the Excedrin kicked in and the sun came out. This restored my confidence and made it home with relative ease.
