| 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.

| Man it snowed very early this morning. But even so, this afternoon was nice, and I ran to the top lookout at Grandeur. Slipping and sliding for much of the run up rattlesnake, it was beautiful to see bows with leaves and snow folding over the trail. It was like running underneath arches at times. | | Add Comment |

| A run up monster, down to neffs, and home. Hit Lang's at 26:00, a little slower but stronger. Nice and cool today. It snowed two inches this morning. I met Charlene Lang driving up to her mailbox. We talked for a few minutes. Surprising how young she is, and beautiful. Alan, her husband, has got a new company, Lang Equipment. |

| Had to get in a run before donating blood tonight, since I might not feel like it tomorrow. Went the 10.2 mile loop around highland high, but ran the outskirts of sugarhouse park, adding 1.9 miles. Then did an extra .75 up above the Wasatch Drive, and down Thunderbird. |

At 3:00, Rosalie said a storm was supposed to hit at 4:00. So I jumped into my gear and ran out the door, heading to the look-out. Halfway up rattlesnake gulch, it started to rain. Not much but then there was thunder and some lightning. I pursued. When I reached the top of the gulch and got on the trail, it started to rain. I thought, I'll run for only a minute or two then turn around. But the rain got stronger, heavier, and the wind picked up, and with the storm, I fought on, determined to reach the end. I did and I was jumping across puddles. Coming back was cold. I was soaked to the bone, and it was on the verge of snow. When I reached the canyon road, my shoe laces were so heavy with water they both came untied. People in their cars must have thought I was crazy. I halfway hoped someone would offer me a ride, but I would have declined because I was soaking wet. The rain slowed down a little and I made it back. Ahhh - a hot shower, just in time for the Utes football game against Air Force. | | Add Comment |
