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.

Wimped out and ran on the treadmill rather than go outside in the cold.  Started out with an easy pace and kept bumping the pace up thru the entire run.  Felt pretty good even though it's a little boring.

Was going to run at lunch, then discovered that I forgot to bring socks.  i hate wearing shoes without socks, soooo, I ran on the treadmill after work.  As I was running my wife came down and in her impatience to have me finish so she could use it, she bumped the pace to 7:00, then 6:00 for the last .5 miles.  that was tough, but it got done faster.

Ran in to work this morning. i was expecting it to be colder adn windier than it was. It was actually not too bad. The run time was about normal, 1:28.

The run home was kind of nice.  All the houses lit upwith Christmas lights, the snow on the ground.  It did get a little slippery in places, but not too bad.  Time was 1:26.

Had 8 miles on the schedule but the legs were tired and achy, so I only went 5 very easy.  Probably should have taken the day off, but didn't.

Ran around the block at lunch time.  Felt really good and fast.  I wish now I had timed it, but I think it was well under a 9:00 pace.  Runs like that leave a smile on my face for the rest of the day.

Ran into work this morning. Felt pretty sluggish. Time was about a minute slower than usual. Got a little bit cold. I need to get some warmer gloves.  Left work early and ran home while it was still light out.  I just took it easy.  Time, 1:26

Had the second training run for the Antelope Island Buffalo Run today.  About 16 showed up to run in the snow.  My legs were tired and I was kind of dreading the run, but once I got going, the going was pretty easy.  The miles seemed to fly by.  It's always fun to run when it's snowing.
