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.

Redrock Marathon 2011: 3:33 - major accomplish. 3,300' elevation gain.

This is an equivalent run of 3 miles. Todd and I biked up behind the water  towers, steep climb, accelerated heart rate. In six miles we climbed 600 feet. So 3 miles equivalent is justified.

Eastwood loop, hit the trail to stretch it out. Was stiff from Saturday's 31 miler. Wanted to walk and rest but pushed through it. Finished respectably in 58:30.

I thought I'd go 18 to 20, but there was no way! After my 31 miler last Saturday, I must have thought I could go out and do anything. Wrong. Everything took work, from my lungs to my legs. I'm surprised it only took 1hr 35mn ~8:11 mpm. Could have used a few Tylenols. Plus it was cold and windy, but a snow front is moving in tonight, so I wanted to get the run in before it hit, so I went at 3:00 this afternoon. Guess I'll need to get in a 11 - 13 miler tomorrow or Sunday.
