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.

Short little trail run north from Rainbow Garden with Joel.  Snow on the trail and 15 degrees.  Saw the Remkes brothers while we out.  They are responsible for constructing much of the new trail north of Rainbow, and a fantastic job they've done.

Hill repeats on the t-mill.  2 @ .6 x 10 min pace @9%.  1 @ .6 x 10 min pace @10%.  2 @ .45 x 10 min pace @12%.

Maxed out the incline on the mill.  Maxed me out as well.  The really sad thing is, I now have over 600 miles on the mill in the past three years.  I'm such a weenie about getting outside when it's cold or bad weather,.

Went on the trails after work trying to get a few in before dark.  Ended up on the road because I ran out of light and didn't have my headlamp.   Ran on a new trail (for me) that was pretty cool.  Nice cruising, twisty turny, uppy downy.  Don't know my actual mileage, but based on my time and effort I figure around 6.5.  Felt good.

Ran into work this morning.  Uneventful, cold, dark.

Same thing this afternoon except it was still light when I started running.

Nice trail run after work before the sun went down.  Good times.  Managed to get back to the car before it was completely dark.
