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.

22.7 miles of dirt, 50 feet of pavement, 40 feet of mud, kind of.  It was a good day.  Ran the Mountain View Trail on Antelope Island.  Came close to running even splits.  2:02 down to the ranch, 2:07 back.  Not too bad.  I feel better now that I have a long run under my belt.

Had big plans to run in circles at the aquatic center but forgot my running stuff.  Had to settle for the t-mill.  Did 1200 yards in the pool at lunch.  The swimming part of the tri I'm doing this summer no longer scares me.  Now it's the bike portion.  My butt is already complaining and I've just started.

Did three around the track in the morning, then jumped in the pool and swam about 650 yards.  I was asked if I wanted to join the master's swimming program by the coach.  Must be my superior stroke technique and speed.  Not a bad deal, free, six days a week in the mornings, do as much or as little as you want.  The coaches put together a daily workout that provides some structure beyond just swimming laps.  Think I'll try it for a bit.  Maybe not the full six days a week, but for the days I am scheduled to swim, it might be a good thing.

As usual, I hate this race within the first two hundred yards.  Still, I ran my fastest time on this course this year, so I'm happy with it.  Conditions were pretty good.  Warmest I've ever run the race, in the mid 30's.  Actually ran the race in shorts and was fine.  Saw lots of friends which is aloways a good thing.

Looking forward to a nice 30 mile trail run tomorrow.
