Tenative 2011 race and run schedule - Bonneville Shoreline Trail Marathon, Grandeur Peak fun run, Timp Trail Marathon, Pocatello 50 mile, Western States 100 mile, Vermont 100 mile, Leadville 100 mile, Wasatch 100 mile (yep, trying for the grand slam of ultrarunning), Striders Winter training series, Moab Red Hot 50K, Red Mountain 50K, Survivor Series 10K (Rockford, IL), Grand Canyon Double crossing, Zion traverse, Boise Half Ironman (my first tri).  Might Run the Ogden Valley 50 mile, the Pony Express 50 mile and maybe the Chimera 100 in November.  I'm a memeber of the Wasatch Speedgoat Mountain Racing Team (www.wasatchspeedgoat.com).  One of my major goals is to not embarass the team with poor finishes.

Long-Term Running Goals:

Stay injury free and still be able to outrun kids half my age.  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

Come on out and run it, we have a good time.

I post some of my more interesting runs at my blog www.ultrajim.blogspot.com.  Check it out.

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.

Thanks for the awesome race Jim! It was an amazing experience for me, my first trail run and still finished in a decent time - or so I'm told. You are a great race director and I hope to be able to repeat this one next year!! I'll shoot for and AG award though - no more messin' around, I'm gonna learn to love those hills...and RUN them. Great to meet you and chat a bit as well (I'm the tall blonde with braids - white visor and shirt yesterday). Thanks again!
