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.

Thursday's group is no more :(  They really moved the pace along. I waddled where I used to sprint. Went through Holiday.

2:29:00 ~ 8:25 pace. Slow, I know, but I'm glad I got this distance in. My weekly mileage has been a little low, so I needed to bring it up to about 40. Maybe next week will be as good, then taper for a week to the marathon. Included in this 17.8 mile run, was the Monster, which is a 12 pmp pace. It was nice and cool. My route went out around 7-eleven, by the old mill, Casto Lane, Wander Lane, Hillside to the S-curve, up to frontage road past Skyline.
