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 the White Rock and Split Rock trails on Antelope Island.  Pretty much had the place to myself.  There was no one else on the trails when I headed out and only a few people out when I finished.  No horses at all.  Bugs weren't bad at all either.  got a little warm towards the end of the run and I ran out of water about a mile from the finish, but no big deal.

Learned an important lesson today.  Never try running less than 2 hours after a heavy weight workout.  Went to the gym after work and then went home and ran on the treadmill.  Was going to go about 5.5 miles but after 3 I was exhausted.  Last time I do that.

Tempo run today.  Felt really good and pushed hard.  The new asthma drug is working and I can actually breathe.  Legs felt pretty good.  A little tired but I was able to push anyway.

Ran to work and back.  Really pushed on the way home and set a PR of 1:18 for 8.9 miles. 
This included time for stoplights, waiting at intersections, etc.  I've never gone below 1:20 for this route.  PR'd by about 6 minutes.  Very cool.

Ran up Frary Peak on Anelope Island after work.  59 minutes up, 40 minutes down.  2000' of elevation gain in less than 3 miles.  Did some GPS work for the upcoming Frary Peak Hill Climb that I'm putting on in late September.  It'll be a 10k, but it'll be the toughest 10k you ever ran (or walked).
