Mountain View Trail Half Marathon - Antelope Island, UT
Gorgeous day for running. Trail half marathon on Antelope Island, Utah. The island is in the middle of the Great Salt Lake. I was able to see many of the island’s namesame critters and quite a few of the 600 resident buffalo. The course started on dirt road, but quickly transitioned to single-track trail. One downhill section was quite technical as the buffalo had torn it up while it was wet, which required some tricky footwork to keep from rolling an ankle. The aid stations were well staffed and stocked. I met my goals of finishing and not finishing last! BBQ at the finishline was great. Had a blast on the trail and enjoyed conversing with old and new friends pre and post-race. |

I finished first in the old guy division. Got a medal and a box of cookies for winning. The other guy got second. That's one of the perks for being over 50 years old, less age group competition. Fun run, cool temperature, ran pavement for the first mile, dirt road the second, and on top of the dirt reservour dike to the finish. My knee is feeling better, I like racing every Saturday. |

A year ago I stood with fear and excitement at the starting line of my first race, a 5k the ‘First Dam Run’. Today I ran the race again to celebrate a year of running. They even gave me a ribbon for 6th place in the 50-59 age group. In the last year I’ve run in 18 races, including three halfs and one full marathon, and two 50k Ultras. 1082 miles of training and racing. My running mentor and childhood friend, Davy Crockett, came to support me (and win the 10k in the old guy catagory). I wasn’t sure he would come since just last Saturday he finished his 29th career 100 mile race, including four 100 milers in the last two months. http://www.crockettclan.org/blog/ Visit his blog, he writes amazing reports. A year of running has brought me renewed old friendships, many new friends, a new wardrobe, and best of all good health. I’m still slow, but happy. |

| 2" of fresh powder, beautiful morning...then it started snowing hard. Ran on the canal road on the East Bench. I was wearing my Santa shirt and hat. When I got down to Sardine Canyon, the carloads of folks driving by seemed to enjoy my Santa attire. Upon arrival ot home my beloved wife (she really is supportive) asked me "Were any other idiots out there running?" I answered "I passed idiot Dave from work and our idiot neighbor Bill was out walking." |

| Eleven mile trail run. Crusty snow and cold. Negative 2 degrees when I left the house. It did warm up to +7 by the time I got home. I headed South on the canal road, but took a different route up some trails. Lots of hills. I didn't see anyone else out running or walking. Legs and lungs felt good. |
