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.

Want to tone up my feet to the Nike's. They've blistered my feet both marathons I've run them. Back of my legs and glutes have been stiff and sore.

Went for a quick run up to rattlesnake and back. Time up ~ 16:45. Down 13:00. I did it under 30 minutes thanks to the Nike's and cool temperatures. A climb of about 700 feet.

Another nice run. I wasn't as mentally prepared for this, hence a slower time than last year by 6 minutes. Also 5 minutes slower than Salt Lake Marathon 4 weeks ago, which is more difficult. I erred by not taking any nurishment until the damage was done. I kept waving it off, feeling fine. But between mile 18 - 21, I just couldn't go. I distressed over it, then I got way hungry and realized I was low on fuel. I had a banana at mile 21 and a GU at 22, then started drinking power aid. That sort of brought me back into the game and I slugged it out. I never walked, but did waste a minute looking for something to eat at a table where there was only drink. Putting in my ear buds and listening to music at 21 helped get my mind off the slow down. Overall a plesant day, but I've been a little more stiff than ususal. Getting up at 3:00 to get to Ogden and catch a bus makes for a long day.
