Long-Term Running Goals:

I would like to keep running ultras into my 60s. 

Personal:

Details at: http://www.crockettclan.org/ultras/ultracrockett.pdf Married with six kids and six grandchildren.  Started running at the age of 46 in 2004.  My first race since Junior High days was a 50K. I skipped the shorter road stuff and went straight to ultramarathons.  I started as a back-of-the packer, but have progressed to a top-10-percent ultra finisher.  Wish I would have started running at a much earlier age.  Have had several articles published in national running magazines.  Check out my running adventure blog at www.crockettclan.org/blog

Hills on the treadmill.  Five miles with incline up to 25%.  Machine thinks I climbed 4,000 feet.  Then did a four-mile tempo road run on JRP as the sun rose.  Legs feel almost totally recovered from the marathon.

p.m. ran up and down Rose Canyon Road in Herriman

they say they won't cancel BH for anything, but there are still 46 inches of snow at 7880' at Burgess Junction, and 80 inches at the turnaround. You may be doing laps at the Dayton track.

You were in Herriman? Dang, I would have come and run it with you!!!

Glad to hear you are feeling good! Again, you are just incredible. You are going to need to add your name to that book you want to write.

Kelli - Yep. I work in Riverton. This week I decided to try a couple times to run during the lunch hour. So yesterday just drove to that church near the canyon, ran up the road and back. I've also run or power-walked all those paved trails down east of there.

Hey, I have good memories of that Dayton track. Seems like I passed someone on it in '08. Well, I just hope they don't come up with some crazy route that keeps us on hot dirt roads.

OH, I did not know you worked out here (I assume the building by Home Depot?) Very cool. I can send you up some fun hills, BUT they are road hills, not trail!

Kelli, yes tell me about some good routes.

I will see if I can pull them off my Gamin and put them on Garmin Connect and post them. Just find Monarch Meadows Road and head UP!
