| Location: Salt Lake City,UT, Member Since: Dec 29, 2009 Gender: Male 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.

| It actually snowed last night. This is memorial day Monday. I awoke to snow on the ground. Really didn't want to get out of bed, but couldn't resist the interest to see what the canyon was like. Wow. Slush starting at the stop sign, and getting deeper with each step. The road above the gate had 3" of snow, and reached 6" by the time I hit elbow. I really could only run another 1/8th mile above elbow before the snow fields and new snow made it unrealistic. I was surprised to reach elbow, with long pants, at 1:07. But it took me an hour to get home. My feet are sore, especially the right, with the plantars faciitis. Pain to run, especially down. |

| Went 100 yds, and stopped, turned around and just about gave up. My feet were sore, and I thought this isn't good. Better go ride my bike. But I gave it another college try, and made it out Wasatch Blvd, down Tolcate to Holladay Blvd, back up Country, to Indian Rock, and Naniloa to Branch, the up up up to Straton, and back along the park at Olympus. A very nice run. And I felt a little better, but still finished at an 8.35 pace. This marathon next Sat. has me a little worried. I've very glad 10 miles is on a gravel road. |

| Lava Hot Springs, ID. Morning run for about 8.5; then to the springs and pool. Later I went up to the top of the mountain and down the service road for 6.5, climbing about 1200' in 2 miles. | |
