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.

Suffered a minor setback late last week. I got sick. First cold I've had in awhile but it was enough to stop me for the past three days, but I felt pretty good this morning, so back on track, I hope.

Tried doing a littel interval work on the way home.  ran to the train station at a tempo pace, then 4 x 3 minutes threshold going home.  The rest going home was easy or a tempo pace for the last mile.

Ran pretty easy today.  Hip was bothering me for the first mile or so.

Did the run to the train station thing this morning.  We had a little frost on the ground.  Fall is in the air.

Had my wife drop me off at the train station this morning.  I ran from the station into work.  Then I ran all the way home.  I think every car was out to get me.  Due to people's inattention, talking on their cell phone, etc. I ended up slapping two cars and yelling at tow others just to get them to pay attention to pedestrian's.  I don't think I'll be running home anytime soon.  That 13 miles just wore me out, with all the noise, traffic, having to watch out for idiot drivers, etc.  Definitely not a good time.

Did some trail work with about 50 college students out on Antelope Island.  They were part of an intercollegiate service project.  We worked on a new trail that was cut a coupel weeks ago.  The trail is still very rough and needs to have water breaks cut, berms taken down, low spots filled, etc.  We managed to get about a mile done, and still have about 1 1/2 to go.  After the work, I ran the new trail and it's going to be so nice when it's done.
