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.

Feeling back on my feet after Pocatello. Got out at 6:00 AM for the run to Sugarhouse and up through Parleys. Good time: 1:20:12. Still a little sore.

This run is to lookout up rattlesnake. The snake climbs about 600 feet in 1/2 mile. Todd rode his bike. I made it in 39:34, which is pretty good. I slowed going down, in 34 minutes.

Tried to not go running this morning, but had a desire and needed to oblige. After the run up rattlesnake last night, I was still feeling like some hills, so I ran the monster, in 53 minutes, hitting the top at 27:30.

Slow going from the start. Down around Gepetto's in Holladay. Cut it short 3 miles due to the slow and stiffness I felt in my legs. I was glad to get out though.

Nice and easy up to elbow fork in 1:06 with a head wind. Then I got onto the trail that leads to Terraces, which was longer than I remember 30 years ago. It probably took me 45 mintues to get back to the gate, whereas I can run down the road to the gate in 12 minutes. Maybe it was longer than an extra mile, but I'm counting it as an added mile.  Then home. Ryan and Wesley were at the gate on their bikes. I caught up with a woman and her dog, and we ran together for a few miles. She's Mike Dunn's sister-in-law, who was attacked by a griz at Jackson Hole. She ascented the peak last week. Recommends it to anyone.  Then I reset my watch at the gate and ran home in 41 minutes.
