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.

What started out as an ordinary slow run turned in to a great workout. A girl passed me on her bike at 3.5, which turned me on to a faster pace to keep her in sight. I caught up more on the hills, then she would zoom out on the levels. By the time I reached the hill at Terraces, I had her within 60 feet, and I was electrified. I reached the gate at 49 minutes, which is pretty good considering I started out slow. Then I turned around and kept up the initiative, making it back home in 38 minutes, for a round trip of 1:27:00.  Just under. This boosted my confidence as I haven't really trained since well before my three marathons, back-to-back. My knee is still sore.

Went out to Tanners, and up along the bonnie shoreline at eastwood. Starting out downhill kind of agravated my knee, but it was okay, a little slow 1:10. Rather stiff from the run yesterday afternoon. I'm just glad I got out this morning.

Afternoon road bike ride with Trent out to Holladay.

Elbow Fork. I haven't run up there for a long time. Marathons every week reduce the training and joyful running like this. I've missed it.
