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

| Ran from the North Ogden divide to the top of Ben Lomond peak and back. Nice day for it. Cool and breezy, very windy on top and along the front side of the ridge. the view wasn't too great due to the haze but very cool anyway. Contrary to what the signs say, I GPS'd the route at 7.18 miles one way. The signs say 8.2 miles. Took me 2 hours 11 minutes for the trek up and 1 hour 35 minutes to come back down. I wanted to go on over to Willard Peak, but didn't have time. Maybe next Sunday? The trail over to Willard looks very runnable. The weight lifting is definitely working. I found that I could run may of the uphill sections, even above 9000', with ease. What I found out is that when I run uphill, it's the legs that give out way beofre the lungs do, even at higher elevations. Maybe my issues with high elevation are over? Anyway, lots of fun. Caught lots fo people making the trek up that started way before I did. Most of the time I tried to make sure I was running when I caught them and to keep running after. Didn't see any wildlife at all but did talk to some people who had seen mountain goats earlier. | | Add Comment |

| Did a short run at lunchtime. Ran an errand to the auto parts store. Did push the pace trying to catch a slow bike rider. Almost had him, but he turned off the street I was running down. Always fun to do that sort of stuff. | | Add Comment |

| Went running at lunch but the legs were really dead and I was not feeling like running. Tanked it after about 2.5 miles. Felt better after I got home so ran another 3 on the treadmill. Generally not a good running day. | | Add Comment |

Took off from work a little early and ran around the block then hit the weight room. I was a tired little boy after all that, but it felt good. | | Add Comment |
