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 on the new treadmill. Tried to run at a heart rate of 134 or so. Has anyone followed the Maffetone method for training? From what I understand you set a target heart rate of 180-age, plus about 5 if you're a 6-7 time a week runner. Everytime you run, target that heart rate. What is supposed to happen is that over a period of time, you find yourself running faster while maintaining the same heart rate. Thought I'd give it a try over the next month or so. Can't hurt with as slow as I've become. I know the run today was at a level of barely being able to maintain a conversation.

So far the treadmill is working out fine. The noise level is low enough that I don't have to turn up the TV too much.

Ran at lunch. Tried to target the same effort as was necessary to reach a HR of 134 on the treadmill. guess I need to get a HRM for use away from the treadmill.

Due to going to lunch with my wife, I had to run on the treadmil in the evening. Did a tempo and kept HR above 134. Pace was 8:00 or faster the entire time. Did a couple miles at 7:30 pace.

5 x 1/2 mile @ 7:00 pace.  Warm up and cool down.  Love the treadmill, it won't let you slow down.  Max HR was 160.

Didn't get a chance to run at lunch so I did what I could before my wife got home.  Managed to get a couple in on the treadmill.  Kind of a waste, but miles nonetheless.
