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.

Went to the gym after work then went home and got on the treadmill.  Did a 1 mile warmup and then 4 more at 8:00 or faster pace.  After all that I browned about 25 lbs. of buffalo stew meat for the Buffalo Run.  I bought 100 lbs. of stew meat for the race and it's quite the job to get it all cooked before the race.  My wife won't let me do it in the house so I end up in the garage cooking.

Ran into work thsi morning.  In the low 30's so not too bad.  I didn't pay attention to my time but the run felt about normal.  One thing I noticed is that my legs didn't ache like they usually do after I run in.  maybe I'm finally getting into some sort of shape.  One can only hope.  Daylight savings time meant that my run in was completely in the dark today.

the run home wasn't too bad.  The first 1/2 mile I wanted to call my wife and have her come get me.  I felt really sluggish and tired, but after about 3 miles, I felt fine and the rest of the run went well.  Don't know what the issue was except amybe a lack of motivation.

Did the dreaded speed work on the treadmill.  6 x .5, 6:31, 6:27, 6:23, 6:19, 6:15, 6:11.  Max HR was the highest I've ever managed to get it, 168.  Usually I can't get my HR above around 156-162.  Resting HR is still 42-44.  Didn't get to run yesterday due to too much work at work and work at home getting ready for the Buffalo Run.  Only a week away ans till way too much to do.  If any of you think it would be fun to direct a race, well, it is, but it's also a lot of work, coordination, etc.  In the end I think it's all worth it to put on a well run race and have people really enjoy it and come back year after year.
