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.

Went on an early run with Aric and Joel checking out a half marathon trail course they're looking at.  Look for the Northern Utah Trail Series (NUTS) next year.

Ran at lunch.  Did some tempo work.  About 2-3 miles at well under 8 min. pace.  Close to 7 at points.

Ok, it was a weird running day.  Had big plans to run/train/run.  I was late to leave the house, had my wife take me to the train station.  Ran the 2 miles to my office.  That was the morning.  On my way home, the southbound train was sitting at the station busted.  they got it going and it left.  I thought the next train in would go north so I got on it.  Ended up heading south towards SLC.  Had to get off at the next station then wait for the next northbound train.  Finally got to Ogden about 45 mintues later than I had hoped and ran home.  At least the run home was uneventful.

Did "hill" repeats on the t-mill.  5 x .6 @ 10:00 pace and 8% grade.  Wore me out.

Did a little night trail run above 22nd street.  Definitely different.  ran the first half with no headlamp, but had to turn it on coming back.  The mist made drops on some of the yellow leaves on the trail.  When my headlamp would shine, theylooked like gold flakes.  Very cool.  Scared up a skunk while I was out there.  It just took off scampering down the trail.  No spray.

Had big plans to go out and do around 7 on the trails.  Got on the trails and my legs had other plans.  Just didn't feel like it, so I did a few miles pretty leisurely, checked out some new trails and got off before dark.

Had the first training run on Antelope Island for next year's race.  About a dozen showed.  Ran the Mountain View trail from the trailhead about half way then turned around.  Weather was fine until the last couple of miles, then snow and wind.  Had big plans to do 30 out there today but the weather kind of stopped that.
