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.

Ran with a friend out on Antelope Island.  Perfect day, 50's sunny.  A little smoggy towards SLC, but nice on the island.  Ran the full length of the Mountain View trail and threw in a trip up to Sentry Peak.  Took us a little less than 7 hours total, but then we weren't in a hurry.  Saw plenty of bison and antelope, and a small gopher snake.  A good time was had by all.

Ran a slow 6 at lunch.  I'm a little stiff from yesterday's run, but not sore.  Once I get my fat butt up from my desk and walk around, I loosen up just fine.

Ran into work this morning.  Just the usual early morning run, slow, quiet.

Did another short little run at lunch.  What a great day for it, sunny, 50's.  Very nice.

The run home was nice.  I actually felt pretty good, light on my feet.  I like it when I feel like that.  I don't feel like I'm plodding down the road.

Too busy to run at lunch, ended up on the treadmill at home.  Would have rather been on the trails.  Oh well.

Did the usual run to the train station thing.  I think as the week goes on, I'm getting slower and slower, kind of like a clock winding down.  I was really slow this morning.  It was supposed to be in the low 30's but there was a nice warm breeze and it certainly didn't feel that cold.

Ran another 5.2 at lunch.  Nice day for it except it was breezy coming back.

The run home was nice.  I had a tailwind and didn't have to worry about getting chilled.

Ran to the train station this mroning.  It felt a little warmer than it has for tha past few days.  I was almost too warm with what I was wearing.

The run home was soooo slow.  I'm tired.  I did have hill repeats scheduled for tomorrow.  We'll see how my legs feel.  Ugh!
