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.

Ran from the lower Frary Peak parking lot to the south end of Antelope Island. Was on my way back when a fellow trail patrol member picked me up. Good thing, it was starting to rain harder and harder and cooling down as well. Great run though. Felt really good the entire way. Nice and quiet as well.

Ran at lunch. Pushed some. Starting to feel like I'm getting back into shape. Good thing with a 50 miler less than 8 weeks away.

BTW, does anyone have treadmill preferences? I'm looking for one at home, programmable, heart rate monitor, fairly quiet, one that will take a pounding in the winter. Thanks

Ran around the block at lunch. A little sluggish going uphill, but that passed as soon as I started back down. Only had to smack one car hood today. One of these days I'm going to get hit.

Ran miles 18-32 of the Twin Peaks 50/50 course in the OC. Was donw ther visiting in-laws over the weekend and figured that I should run part of the course with others on a training run. The weather was cloudy and threatening rain. The trail took us up into the clouds on Saddleback mountain. Windy, damp, kind of drizzly along the dirt road up there, but once we started back down into the canyons, the wind and cold went away. All in all, a good run. This is the most mileage that I've run in a week since Wasatch. Left my legs sore the next day though. Need to do some more hills before race day in Feb.
