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.

Three miles slow (very slow) around the block, then later I went 2.3 up to Neff's canyon on my bike, which equates to a run. Especially when it takes 19 minutes on my bike, and 21 when I run. I needed that cross train after the marathon. It's been cold this week. Having run in Vegas, my blood thinned out and I've been sensitive to the cold weather. So, I decided to take it easy and not feel too guilty about sleeping in. I missed both the Tuesday speed work and the Thursday run. Both were cold. I actually drove to the Thursday group, but wasn't dressed warmly enough and turned around. Wednesday Craig and I were going to run. As I dressed and was waiting in my shoes to head out, he texted me that he wasn't feeling well. So I went back to bed and was not too disappointed.

I went up MCC to Elbow Fork, the last 1.5 mile on icey snow. It was slippery which slowed me down, though I didn't fret about that since I was hurting anyway. I made it to the top in 1:09, and back home in 1:08. That time compares with last year one week after Red Rock marathon. I talked with Ostler for a minute or two as we passed, he comming down while I was running up. Then it started snowing on my way down and the wind blew hard. I was glad to have gotten out running when I did, as I was contemplating going out later this afternoon. Good thing, since it has not stopped snowing since about 11:00 today.
