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.

The morning slipped away, so I kept it short. Went up to the tanks above Eastwood. Saw Rachael running. She wants to do a few trails together. Her email RK1@gmail. She's moved over to El Surrito near us.

It snowed all day Friday and through the night, with low clouds and icey puddles. Still, Craig and I went out at 6:00, to the loop through Tanners, up into Eastwood, then to the 4-way where I stashed drinks. Craig left his second long sleeve, and we continued down to the blvd, to Oakridge, then did the five fingers ending at top of Gilead. Over to Neffs, then down to the 4-way. Craig was wasted from the hills, but I wanted to stretch it out. He followed me up Millcreek, waiting at the bridge while I went up to rattlesnake. His Garmin calculated 2700 vertical. A good run.
