Stay fit enough to keep up with my grandson. Personal: 52, married for 30 years to the same wonderful woman, 2 grown kids, 1 grandson.
That's my son and I in the picture at the 2007 Buffalo Run. He's always a big help and a pretty cool kid.
I direct the Antelope Island Buffalo Run, the Mountain View Trail Half Marathon, and the Antelope Island 50K/100K, all on Antelope Island State Park. The website is www.buffalorun.org

| Stopped at 2 miles. Just wasn't feeling it. Been fighting a cold all week. OTOH, I did go swimming at lunch and managed 1 mile in 35 minutes. I was happy with that. | | Add Comment |

| Ran early at the gym. Did the last 1.5 barefoot just for something different. You can definitely tell that barefoot works your calves different and put a little more stretch on the achillies. | | Comments(1) |

Ran the 10 mile today. Wasn't sure I wanted to race it or just go for a hard run. I missed the 10K so I'm not in contention for any age group awards this year. With that the motivation to go harder isn't as high.
Still, this year's race time was 12 seconds faster than last year and 2 minutes faster than 2008. So I guess I should be happy with my time.
I don't have any mile splits, but I know I did do a few sub 7's (downhill), and on that one hill I had to finally walk a few feet. | | Comments(2) |

| Only managed 1 mile. The achilles was hurting a little too much after Sunday's run. Did manage about 20 miles in spin class though. So not a total loss. | | Add Comment |

Managed to get to spin class and do about 19 miles on the spin bike before my run.
Well, I did no running over the weekend. Spent my time instead getting stuff ready for the Buffalo Run this Saturday. Things are starting to come together. Should be a good time with over 700 runners on the island. I might get one run in tomorrow, but then no running until Friday evening when I pace a friend running the 100 mile event. | | Comments(6) |
