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

| did another road run in the evening. It seems like it takes me about 1/2-1 mile to warm up to the point where the run becomes enjoyable. Maybe I'm just getting old. Once I get going, the speed picks up and I can move right along. Kind of liking the roads as a change of pace from trails. Hoping to get a little speed back in time for the San Francisco One Day or the Ogden Valley 50. Would like to do well at either one of these. | | Add Comment |

| 19.6 on the roads, actually on the paved trails around the Ogden area. Ugh! I was shot after that. Haven't ran that many road miles since the Ogden Marathon. Took me a little over 3 hours. | | Add Comment |

| Local run on the roads from my house. Still seems like it takes me a good mile ot warm up, then I can go ok and actually pick up speed as I go along. What's up with that? Age? | | Add Comment |

| Did hill repeats. 5 x .5 at the usual location. All were under 6 minutes, with most at around 5:45. The first one is always the slowest. Why is that? Especially after a one mile warmup. | | Add Comment |

| Ran into work this morning. Decided against going down 1900W. I'm getting to just hate that route due to the traffic and boredom. Instead I just ran to the train station and ran into work from there. Ran home after. No issues. | | Add Comment |

| Went for an early morning run since I have the day off. Nothing special. Have to take my wife in for knee surgery later. Surgery went fine. They thought it might be a torn meniscus but it wasn't. That's a good thing. | | Add Comment |

| Did 6 x .25 intervals, all between 1:35 and 1:38. Haven't done 1/4's in years. Just about the time they start to suck, you're done. Still I as able to get the leg turnover going better than when I do 1/2's. Maybe I'll stick with 1/4's for a while and do my 1/2's as hill repeats. | | Add Comment |

| I think this one qualifies as a tempo run. Went with another engineer from work. He's much faster than I am. Average was 8:16 and I'm sure this was slow for him. I was working hard to stay with him. Need to do more of those runs. | | Add Comment |
