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.

Ran from Rainbow Gardens south on the BST. Started around 8:15pm and finished just as it was getting dark. My car was the last one in the lot. The trail is nice and quiet at that time of day. No bikes, very few hikers, sunset happening across the lake.

Ran from 22nd street. Went with a guy who runs my race every year and happened to be in town on business. It was kind of nice to share one of my favorite trails with someone else.

I decided that I'm going green for my trip to Tahoe this weekend. I made reservations on Amtrak to take the train rather than drive my car by myself. The cost is the same and I have a friend that is running the same race who's picking me up at the train station in Reno and dropping me off for the trip back. All I ahve to do is drive the 4.5 miles to the Ogden train stations, get on Frontrunner, and switch to Amtrak Thursday night. I love riding trains and it's time for a new adventure.

Ran a last run before Saturday's race. so far the taper is going pretty good. I felt pretty strong today, the run was really easy, even in the noontime heat. I'm taking the train (Amtrak) to Reno for the race. the RT price is the same as what i would spend on gas driving there, plus A friend is picking me up there and we're driving to Carson City. Haven't been on Amtrak in quite a few years, so it should be a good time. I love riding on trains.

I've written a race report that can be read once I post it to my blog. www.ultrajim.blogspot.com

Bottom line, not quite the time I was hoping for, but also not a key race this year. The weather was perfect for me (a little warm for everyone else). I felt pretty good the entire race although I did get a few blisters. Great race, fantastic and beautiful course. Well organized, great aid (including beer). Very deceiving course, not as much vertical as other mountain courses but with a 56% finish rate, it's tougher than it looks.
