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.

Ran Hidden Valley Trail above Ogden. Never had been on it. Trail isn't finished yet so it just dead ends. Probably 1000' climb in 2 miles.

Ran the Sentry Trail on Antelope Island. This was the first training run for the 2007 Antelope Island Buffalo Run. Had 9 people show up. Rainy early on and we got wet, but the trail was in pretty good shape. One of the deer at the Ranch is very tame and followed us for about 3 miles. Probably looking for a handout. I now have 51 entries for the 2007 run so if anyone on this bog wants to run it, get your entry in now before the 175 runner limit is reached.

Short trail run after work. Pushed hard though. Ran everything, including teh hills I normally would walk up. Felt good to be able to do that at last.

Short run to mark a road for speed work. Managed to mark off 1 mile in 1/4 mile increments. Ugh, I hate speed work.

Trail run. Did a little exploring trying to find a link between Kaysville and Bountiful alongside the mountain. Didn't find it but am told it's there. Guess I'll have to try again when I have more time.

Ran from 22nd st. to Beus Canyon and back. Good run. Trail in great shape. Great views due to the lack of haze and smog.

Ran part of the Mtn. View trail on Antelope Island. Good day for it. Even though temp. was in the low 40's, I ran in shorts and a couple of long sleeve t's and was fine. The sun was nice and warm. Usually I'm pretty cold blooded and don't care much for cold weather. Did a little bit of trail maintenance afterwards, chopping weeds along a 1/2 mile section. It was getting a little overgrown and people were going around it and creating a new trail. This work should take care of that.

Ran at lunch. Pushed the pace during the last half. Didn't time the run, but some of the mileage I felt was sub 8 minute pace.
