| 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.

Top of Millcreek canyon, 2:49:52. Left calf cramped going up so I had to stretch out. Then running down, the pounding hurt my right thigh and knee. So considering those ailments, I'm happy with my time. I hit elbow fork at 1:03. Top of canyon at 1:36. Back at elbow at 2:02. There were a lot of bikers, probably 100 on this holiday Monday, the 5th of July. Temperatures were cool, but running down I took off my shirt. | | Add Comment |

| A windy morning, gusting to about 30 mph. Looped along 20th east and through Country Club wtihout going down to 17th East. THis shortened my route 1.25 miles, but then I made up .25 of it by running up Redondo and over to Foothill. It felt about 1 mile shorter, but the wind made it harder. Total time 1:16 ~ 8.2 mpm for 9.25 miles. Later this afternoon went out for three and felt stiff. I'm hoping for another 20 up Millcreek this Saturday. It was so calm and beautiful last Monday, with many bikers and people on picnics. | | Add Comment |

| Left at 5:10 to run up Millcreek canyon. Stars were out for a few minutes, then the sky started to lighten. Had to stop and walk with a sore left ankle, which cleared up after 10 minutes. It seems to do this when I've taken two days off running. But I slowed, and hit Elbow at 1:06, top at 1:38, and was going for a 2:50 again when I saw Kent Landvatter just below Thousand Springs. I turned around and together we ran up to the top, another 1.25, then down together to the gate. He's typically just a little slower than me, and this morning he had some foot pains. But we ran at an 8 mpm pace, which was fine. When I stopped to talk with Steve Ostler at the gate, Kent went ahead. By the time I hit the road again, Kent must have been .25 miles down the road, and it took me 3 miles running at 6.5 mpm pace to catch him. So I got a good dowhhill tempo run . | | Comments(1) |
