With two marathons behind me, my next goal is to run one in under 4 hours and potentially qualify for Boston within 2 years.

My primary physical goal is to live a long, healthy life and to stay active to the end.  While I can, I expect running to be a big part of that.

Total Distance
10.17

Ran up and down Butterfield canyon with Daryl, Summer, and Cassie.  Climbed about 1800 feet over 5 miles and the elevation at the top was 7179.  The weather cooperated well.  I think it was very close to 32 degrees.  We ran into some very minimal snow flurries for a while.  But the worst part was a crusty snow field in mile 5.  I ended up walking that portion.  As you would expect, this was not a low heart rate run.  Average heart rate was 160bpm with 173bpm max.  Also, the mile times varied significantly as follows:

10:14, 10:16, 10:48, 12:29, 16:41, 8:24, 8:29, 7:47, 7:36, 7:26, 7:22 (partial)

Overall average pace was 10:17/mile.  This was a very tough run and I hope I don't cramp up too badly.

How did Daryl do? He thinks he is going to beat me at St. George and I'm trying to get some surreptitious intelligence?

Daryl pushed and pulled me all the way, but mostly he stayed with me. He might have gone up past me a quarter mile at the top. Sometimes he ran backwards to smile at me. Other times, he expended extra energy to yell at the turkeys that I never saw.

He's definitely in better shape than me and he talks big. He said he had a goal to beat you.
