| 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.

| First full day of summer, and there was a nice chill in the air this morning as I went out for 6 at 6:00 to the top of Gilead via Jupiter and Adonis. Then back and up to Neff's, running down and back twice on the little strip on Parkway. | | Add Comment |

| A little slower ~1:20:56 with a sore right leg, from the knee to the hip. Typical pains to know and love. I guess the absence of pain might mean death, so be a good sport. Anyway, I went out at 5:20 down to 17th E, through country club (where I saw two women bikers - Joanna?, Lisa?), then up 2100 S. to Wasatch, getting a drink from "Christine Brimley" fountain, and across a very windy (head wind) Parley's gulch. | | Add Comment |

| Down in Cedar City for the Utah Summer Games where the boys are playing basketball. I went out along the benches and main road before sunrise and before the heat, for 1:10. Figured it was maybe 8 miles. | | Add Comment |

| What a rave run! I went out again at 5:30 down main and to the golf course, looking back at the eclipsed full moon which was setting out in the western sky. It was a full moon last night, but was nearly 50-percent eclipsed as I saw it. Running where I went yesterday, I decided to continue on the path and see where it went. I climbed up a ridge where I saw the moon. I turned off my watch and totally admired its beauty. There wasn't any life, not a song bird, but I watched for snakes, scorpions, tarantulas, even cougars because they are in the area. Low and behold, I ran to the road that goes up to Navaho Lake. Wow. That was a run. Then I turned around and ran back. It was totally thrilling. After that I just wound around through town, by the war memorial, past the university and to the hotel. It took me 2 hours, but I might have gone a little farther than 12. Either way, it was a highlight run for me. | | Add Comment |
