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.

It snowed 4" last night, and was slippery and with chucks of ice on the road. I made first tracks in the Parley's gulch, then up along Eastwood. The typical 7 mile route on Thursday morning. Went alone, which was fine. I like the solitude. People out snow blowing their driveways.

Early run up millcreek to elbow. The run from the gate was slow going, making new muscles as the soft snow twisted the foot around, sometimes twisting the whole body. It took longer than I'd hoped, arriving at 1:07, and then finishing at 1:05. But I'll be okay. My right foot plantars faciatis burns and running wierd makes my right hamstring tight. Steve Taylor was up walking his dog on the snow.
