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

| Ran from the upper parking lot in Farmington Canyon up the canyon road to within 1 mile of the radar towers. The only reason I turned back was 4-6 inches of slushy snow, a whiteout condition and a windchill in the lower 20's. I was not equipped to deal with all that. then later in the day, the peak was clear. go figure. Anyway, it was a great run. I ran most of the distance up to the locked gate (6 miles). After that the road gets steeper and most of it was a power walk. The altitude didn't seem to affect me much. Tried a new asthma/drug regimine of Advair, Cialis (yep, that's right), and Singulair. A Dr. friend had me try tis setup to see how it worked for me. He does the same thing for his very long runs and races (he's a fellow ultrarunner). According to him, the Advair and Singulair are better for runners than the Albutarol inhaler I now use because they don't raise your resting heart rate. The Cialis is being used by mountain climbers as an antidote to altitude sickness. It's supposed to reduce the pulmonary blood pressure, allowing more oxygen to cross from your lungs into your bloodstream. The comination of these three drugs seemed to help. I didn't have any of the symptoms that I usually have once I descend from above 9000' during a run. I was also able to run/walk much better at the higher elevations. I did notice the air getting thinner, but it didn't bother me at all. Anyway, seemed to work for me. Anyone else do something similar? | | Add Comment |

| Well, my oldest child turned 25 today. I am getting old. It was a lousy run day. I tried to find the BST from Farmington south towards Bountiful, but either couldn't or it's the dirt road I ran on. I did get some good hill work in going up the mountainside trying to find a trail. Won't be running there any more. | | Add Comment |
