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.

Ogden marathon. 3:38:23. Not too bad considering I wasn't targeting that race, just using it as a long trianing run.

Calves are pretty beat up. Wanted to cramp on me from about mile 8 on. Perfect day for the race. Gorgeous course.

Went on trail run along BST in Ogden. Went up to Malan's basin and came back down Waterfall Canyon. Some serious bushwacking involved. Lots of climb and descent. got weird looks from people going up Waterfall Canyon as I was running down the trail. Lots of fun and a long day.

Took Monday off, but rode bike to work. Ran to work and home today. Pushed the pace some on the way in. Was starving on the way home. Stopped at Winegars to grab a bite to eat. I need to get more calories in me now that the miles are ramping up.

Ran to work again. 2nd day in a row. Wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. Actually pushed the pace some on the way home until about 2.5 miles from home. Stomach started to go south on me. Managed to run the rest of the way home, just at a slower pace. Going to run in to work again tomorrow.

Ran to work and back for the third day in a row. Never have done that before. Wasn't as hard as I thought it would be and actually set a PR on the way home. Warm day, 85 or so, but that didn't bother me at all. Legs are a little tired but not sore at all.

Treated myself to a nice easy trail run along the Ogden section of the BST. One of my favorite trails to run.
