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.

Originally had 10 on the schedule, but decided to take the day off and rest a little bit.

Ran to the bank and back today at lunch.  After taking the day off yesterday, the legs felt pretty good so I pushed the pace to something around a 1/2 marathon pace.

Nice easy run into work this morning.  Took the usual amount of time of just under 1.5 hours.  It was nice to actually see the sun almost up by the time I got there.  It'll be plenty dark by the time I get home tonight.

Did some interval and tempo work on the way home.  2 minute intervals, followed by around 1-2 minutes of easy followed by 3-5 minutes of marathon pace.  Didn't get chilly until the last 1.5 miles, then the air started to get a little cold.

Lifted weights after work then went home and ran on the treadmill.  the legs were tired but I forced myself to run anyway.  I figure it's good training for running late in a race when the legs will be dead anyway.

Ran around the block at lunch, stopped by the bank.  Didn't time the run but my guess is that it was around an 8:30 pcae for the most part.  Perfect day for running except for the haze.

Ran to work this morning. I'm calling it easy miles because it was. Actually, I ran one of the fastest times I ever have to work. I never did feel like I was really pushing it any, just a good steady pace. Cool!

The run home was a little slower.  The legs were tired, but I still managed to run home quicker than I normally do.  All in all, a good day.
