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

Two walking miles.   Tendon still creaks but no pain.   Walking made it feel better.

Easy miles on a treadmill at 10:00 pace, a couple at 10-15% incline as I start to concentrate on climbing again.   Right foot still a little sore and left quad sore at the end of the workout.  But so far so good, back in the saddle.

8 treadmill miles....9 degrees outside.   Did a 6x10x10.   That is six miles as 10:00 pace, with 10 degree incline.   A good workout.   I'll work that up to a 10x10x10.   The treadmill thinks I did 3,200 feet of climb, but I never really believe that because it doesn't feel like I really went that high.   This crazy treadmill workout really helps get in hill shape.  Others who have seen this workout in the past think I'm nuts.

4 walking miles

8 degrees out with the brightest full moon we will see in another seven years or so.   I hit the treadmill at the rec center and did a 12x10x10.   That is 12 miles, 10:00 pace, with 10% incline.   I was very suprised how easy it felt.  Treadmill thinks I burned 2,500 calories and climbed 6,400 feet.

The hardest part was the boredom for two hours.  By getting up early, I can do the first hour almost half asleep with the lights out.  The time goes by fast.   The second hour was tougher, but not bad.  The quads feel strong from ATY, ten days ago.

Three tempo miles 8:00 pace at Legacy Center.
