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.

North Ogden Divide to the top of Ben Lomond Peak and a little beyond.  Perfect day for it.  Got sunburned some.  Still snow up there.  Lots of people making the hike up.

Did an easy run at lunch except I tried a new speed workout that I read about in Trail Runner magazine.  20 seconds flat out, 10 seconds rest, repeat 8 times.  Beginners do that once a week, more advanced runners can do it more often.  I figure I'll try it 2-3 times a week and see what happens.  After the first one I thought this isn't so bad.  Right after that thought I had to start running again.  After you get stopped from one interval, you ahve about 5-6 seconds of rest then it's off again.  I was glad when I was done.

In Boston on business so I took the opportunity to run around the back bay area.  This morning I ran past that bastion of Engineering, MIT.  Warm and muggy.

Did another run around the back bay area of Boston.  This time I went by Haavaard.  Lots of people out running the paths or rowing on the St. Charles river.

Just another trail run on my favorite local trail.  Nice hot afternoon.  Probably in the mid 90's.
