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.

Went with Romrell and Sorensen from gate to Fir Crest and back at 7:00 this morning. Wanted some altitude for the first half of St. George, which starts at about 6,000 feet.

A nice day. Seems like most of my ailments disappeared before the run. No knee pain. No back pain. Amazing what 500 mg tylenol does. But it couldn't keep my toenail. At mile 21, as I was keeping with the 3:05 pace group, my right biggie popped. For the next 2 miles downhill I had to keep my toes curled up in the shoe. I'm glad I didn't let it slow me down more than it did. I actually had hopes of under 3:05, but even with good toe's, probably wouldn't have done better than 3:07. My half was 1:33.  Hurried home to SLC for the 5:00 kick off with Washington Huskies. Shouldn't have. Utah fumbled the kick off return and WA ran it in for 6 with only 9 seconds off the clock.
