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

| My first run since Saturday's race. The legs felt kind of heavy, but I wanted to push the pace some anyway. Felt pretty good for the first couple of miles, then I started to slow down a little. Still, it was a good run. I did feel like going further, but figured I'd better not today. | | Add Comment |

| Ran up the trail from Fernwood trying to get a little hill work in. Although it's primarily a hike, I tried to push it fairly hard to give the legs and lungs a good workout. Didn't see any rattlesnakes, but I was looking. Always a good time when you see one of those. Saw a fellow ultrarunner going up as I was coming down. We stopped to chat for a few minutes. He was running from the Wasatch start in Kaysville all the way to the maintenance shed up Farmington canyon, 18+ miles of tough running. I figure he'd finish after dark. Once I got home I decided to get another mile in on the treadmill with the slope set to 12% (max). I set the pace to 5 mph just to see if I could run it (slowly). I did manage. I'd like to build that up to an hour at that slope and pace. | | Add Comment |

| Ran to the train station today. I was planning on doing a little speedwork on the way, but i was so tired that just trotting along took effort. Not really looking forward to the afternoon commute back home. | | Add Comment |

| Well, I didn't go running today, but I did run an aid station for the Speedgoat "Get High" 50K at Snowbird ski area. Karl Meltzer and Scott Mason put this on and it is one tough 50K trail race. 11,000' of gain in 31 miles and none of it is below 8000'. the aid station i was at was on the Mineral Basin side of the Peruvian Tunnel (20.3 miles). We could see the runners coming down the ridge from Hidden Peak (11,000') on their way to the top of Mt. Baldy (11.068'). We were at about 10,500' and the runners were just coming up after a hard 2500' climb. The winning time was 5:50 by Ryan McDowell (his wife won overall last year). To give you an idea of how tough this course is, on a flat course and 50k winning time can be in the nieghborhood of 3:30. Ryan is no slouch when it comes to mountain running. Anyway, I had a great time volunteering, got to enjoy some beautiful scenery and see plenty of my fellow trail running friends. If none of you has ever volunteered at a race, I highly recommend it. You end up having way too much fun. | | Add Comment |
