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.

Went out two separate times. Ran from the North Ogden Divide up to Ben Lomond peak and back. 2.5 hours up, 1.5 hours down. Saw a couple of moose. Still snow on the back side of Ben Lomond. After I got back to the divide, I went up the south Skyline trail towards Lewis Peak. Probably went up this trail about 1.5 miles. Total of 17 in the morning. Ran another 5 miles on the road after I got home and during the heat of the afternoon. I thought I would be miserable having already run 17 in the morning, but it really wasn't bad. I felt so good that I pushed the pace to marathon pace for those 5 miles.

Ran to and from work. Nice in the morning, very hot in the afternoon. About a mile from home the wind started really blowing and I had to fight a dust storm. Times were roughly the same each direction.

Ran to and from work again. Legs fell a little better, not quite as dead. Actually ran home faster than to work, even with the heat. Heat isn't bothering me at all. Must be getting acclimated to it.

Was going to run Kaysville to Fernwood on the trail but got about 200 yards down the trail and decided I needed a day off. So I turned around and went back to my car and drove home. I was just tired and the run didn't sound like any sort of fun at all.
