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.

Managed to get out on to the trails today.  Ran from Kaysville to Fernwood and back.  The trail is still 90% snow covered but some is melting.  Where its melted it sure is muddy and soft.  Pretty good run considering the snow.  Warm enough to wear shorts.  That's nice as I don't like to run in cold weather.  Starting to taper for the Twin Peaks 50 mile this Sunday.  Not planning on a whole lot of taper as this is just a "fun training run" for me to help build some mileage up.  I figure if I can get a few early ultras in and not "race" them, that will help with my training for the 100k I want to target this summer.

No running today.  A 15 hour day at work ending at 2:30am put a damper on any running activity.

Another 12 hour day put the running in the tank again.  Good thing I'm tapering for my race this weekend.

Finally got in a run at lunch.  Did a tempo run.  Didn't formally time it but the last half was at a sub 7:45 pace.  Finally, something below 8 minutes.

No running today.  Not particularly worried since I have a race on Sunday.

Travel day to Orange County.  Very cold on the way down.  4 degrees near Beaver, UT.  Glad I'm going to SoCal for the weekend.

This actually wasn't a run, but a hike with my sister inlaw and her husband.
