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.

Some road miles in the OC around the block at my fahter-in-law's house.  The same route I used to run when I lived there and first started running.  Memories.

Don't know if this is cheating or not, but ran 5 in the morning then spent the rest of the day walking around Disneyland.  Wore my Garmin and actually recoorded 10.5 miles  there.  I figure about 2.5 was on rides,  the rest on foot.

Ran along the beach in Carlsbad near my mother-in-law's condo.  Not too bad running with an ocean view.

Went running up Farmington Canyon.  The gate at the top is still locked so no atv's, no dirt bikes, no people.  Blessed silence.  Beautiful green scenery and deep blue cloud free skies.  Perfect for a Father's Day run except for the damn "friendly" dog that came after me three separate times.  Told the owners that if it bit me I would kill the dog.  Guess I need to get me either a gun or some mace.  Mace would probably be the better option.

Great race.  Third time I've run it and the fastest yet.  I felt great the entire time.  Fueled good, drank lots, no aches or pains and blister free.  Oh, and this course has to be one of the most beautiful courses out there.  Don't know what my placing was but I'm thinking top 15-25 out of 100 entries.  7700' vert gain.

my brain had big plans to do hill repeats tonight.  Mylegs had other plans.  After the second repeat my legs told me to just go cruising on the trails.  So I listened.  Guess it was a little too soon to do hills after Saturday's race.  Oh well.  1000' vert gain.

Ran into work this morning.  Not too bad a run.  Little faster than normal.  So the run home was kinda slow but eventually I got there,  A whopping 450' vert gain.  How flat is that?
