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 from the start of the Wasatch Front 100 to Big Mountain. Snow at Chinscraper, had to scramble around. Had to cross a couple of large snow fields elsewhere before the radar towers. Rest of travels were slow. Legs seemed to do fine, it was the lungs that couldn't keep up. I did fine when running the flats, downhills and slight uphills. When ever the breathing rate increased with steeper uphills, that's when the problems would come up. Finished after 8pm and started at 6:45am. The lungs hurt when taking a deep breath. Could be the altitude? I did spend a good portion of the day exerting myself at above 9000'. This seems to happen whenever I train above 9000'. A shot of inhaler cleared the lungs right up when I got home.

Ran the Clearfield 5k just for some fun and to get some speed work in. I haven't run a 5k since 1993. After the first 200 yards, I remembered why I like to run ultras rather than these short little races. They're just too damn hard. Ran a really bad time of 24:01 but it was good enough for 24th out of 160 and 1st in my age group (45-49). That made me laugh. I've never won my age group before. Shows just how soft the race was. The overall winning time was 19 minutes and change.
