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.

Black Sheep run from Poperton Park, down 11th ave, around memory grove, around capital, up the steps x 3, down into the grove, ran the stairs x 3, then the hills back to the park.

1:24 which is a little slower than normal, but having worked out on hills yesterday with black sheep, I cramped up some and struggled. This is good, however, as it tested my metel to push along. It's nice listening to KBYU classical music while running. This is the end of the first six months of the year, and exactly half of the total days in the year.  Today's run brings my year-to-date mileage at 941.

Rabbit!  Let the second half of the year begin. Went out a little later than usual, and put the sun behind the mountain as I climbed up to the top of Gilead. The usual monster run, 52:00. Legs felt heavy from Tuesday's black sheep, and still a little weary from yesterday's dehydration. Looking to go 20 Saturday up Millcreek Canyon.

The monster in the heat, 3:00 afternoon in 48:50. Being July 3, had to do the family thing this morning early.
