| Location: Salt Lake City,UT, Member Since: Dec 29, 2009 Gender: Male 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 was a little cooler this morning, as I went out at 6:30 around the loop behind eastwood, and water tanks. I worn leggins, which I didn't really need, and two long sleeve shirts. My time was respectable, considering the clothes, 56:47, or ~ 8:10 min/mile. Since I can't run Buffalo this Saturday, not with the NCAA sweet 16 games, I've got to plan another long run and go out early. | Add Comment |

| I should record this as a RACE, though it wasn't. I entered the Antelope Island 50K, but the time conflicted with my tickets to the Elite 8 basketball NCAA, so I had to make up my own race. My route went up and back Millcreek canyon 3 times to the snow gate, which is 11 miles round, so I cut back my middle loop a mile to make it 31. I had to hide my aid bag, which some dog got into and ate my cookies. Starting out at 5:02 AM, I finished at 10:33 - running clock, for a total 5 hrs 31 min. It was slow, but it included about 20 minutes for changing socks, shedding some clothes (it warmed up from 30 degrees to 40 when the sun came out), and refueling. My route climbed 3,850', compared with 2,500' for Buffalo. The trail is probably a little slower than the road, but the road beats up the legs more. I also don't have the advantage of running along others who help motivate. I had to be my own support. Rosalie was silently encouraging me. She told clients this week why I couldn't work this Saturday, because I was running 31 miles. So I had to do it. I sure started out slow. Not running for three days, and having to fast yesterday for a physical exam cost me a little energy. | Add Comment |
