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.

Wimped out of going outside.  Too cold and windy.  Did the mileage on the treadmill in two separate workouts.  Did 6 miles in the morning, then went to breakfast and Christmas shopping with the wife (gotta do those important things), then bottled my latest batch of homebrew, then did the other 9 miles in the evening.  All in all a pretty good day.

Was going to run at lunch, but I'm coming down with a head cold, so I decided to just do an easy run on the treadmill at home.  I actually felt better after the run for awhile.

Ran on the treadmill at home.  Managed to catch a  head cold and it hit full force Tuesday, so I took the day off from running.  And I was on a roll with my training too.  Several weeks of 60+ miles, feeling good, etc.  Somewhat screwed up now.  Hopefully I can get around 50 for this week.  One more week of full training then I start tapering for my next race.

Ran into work this morning.  Actually felt pretty good, not quite fully recovered from my cold, but weel on the way and good enough to resume the training plan.  The time in was around the usual time, 1:29 

The evening run home was kind of wet, but not cold.  I actually felt pretty good and pushed the pace.  Ended up tying my best time for a run home at 1:22.  If I could have seen better (it was dark and rainy) I would have pushed harder and maybe gone below 1:20.

Ran easy on the treadmill after work.  Got off from work a little early.  I rpobably should have gone a few more miles, but just didn't feel like it.  Maybe it's residual effects from my cold.  Anyway, this is my first sub 50 mile week in quite awhile.  Maybe I needed the break.  The plan is to hit it hard next week, then start my taper.  35 miles on Sunday.  We'll see how it goes.
