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.

Had to get out sometime after Ogden, and this was the day.

Must have been the masochist in me to break out of my post marathon rest with a 12 miler that climbs about 2000 feet: Up Monster down and back up to Neffs (1150'), down to millcreek, up to water towers (400'), down through Parleys gulch and up to 27th (200'), then around the S-curve and home (250'). 1hr : 36min. Wanted to add another two miles but around 10 miles, I was beat, and barely made it home.

Awoke to run at 6:00, but there was snow on them thar hills. Romrell and I agreed to postpone until later, so by 3:30, we went up Millcreek Canyon, dodging snow between the gate and elbow fork where we turned around. The road was covered with 2" of slushy snow above elbow.  I did fine, until about mile 3 from home, and my right knee hurt too bad. I had to stretch and go slow for a mile, picking up speed the last 2 miles.  Grateful to get back. I need to work on some mid-distance runs with speed.
