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.

Snowed heavily the night before, and roads were well covered. Ran up monster and home in 51:45, which is a lot faster than I thought I'd run considering.

Ran the monster EEE, into the four dead ends. Did well, at 1:12. Black sheep ran savor the hill, but I needed more steady running than sprints at short distances.

This is beginning to be a staple run. I've done it now for 7 weeks straight, and though Burke and his possey are not there any more, I still get down to his rondeveau by 6:00. Except now I don't wait because they've gone elsewhere. That's quite alright. I always like the silence and running my own pace. I run along 26th east to 27th, up through Parleys nature park, then once I hit the frontage road on the east side of I215, I head east up to Yosemite and over to Millcreek canyon for a perfect 7 miler. I've got to remember to turn up to the fee station for another mile, making it 8. There's no other way back home except Upland Dr.

With Ryan - up monster. Detoured on (the one lower than Jupiter), then along Adonis to Oakview. Did three of the four dead ends (not Zarahemla). Up Gilead, back to Neff's canyon where I caught up with Ryan, and then home via Millcreek. I wanted to go farther, but didn't have the time. Actually I'm glad I didn't, as I'll see how this Saturday's run feels having rested a little more.
