Running Accomplishments:

Once beat Cheryl at the Hobble Creek Half Marathon about three years ago, and kept up with Peggy for 100m four years ago. Completion of 52 marathons to date.

I enjoy the marathon distance. It demands consistency in training and provides a constant goal to work towards. Could not run without the support of my great family and friends. 

Short-Term Running Goals:

Stay healthy would be the number one goal. To accomplish this long-term feat I need to cross-train and add strength training into the mix.

Long-Term Running Goals:

Someday I would like to qualify for Boston although at the moment it seems very tough!

Personal:

Love running, music, art, food, friends and family in no particular order it just depends on the day.

Met at Bingham High at 6:00am for a Half-Marathon with the crew from running group. I was really surprised to see how many people showed up! Mike P. was there and it was great to visit with him before the race. Actually felt strong for the first 9 miles and then could feel some lead in my quads. At that point I lost sight of Cheryl and Cheris ahead of me. Today was a run with my heart day because because I wanted to finish under 2 hours. Actual time was 2:01.00. 

 Got to find some way to increase my speed. I think the most obvious way would to drop about 10-15 pounds so my training would become more effective. Right now I just feel like I am beating myself to death.

 Another week in the books with Top of Utah coming up fast!

Hi Eric. I'm glad you have a blog. You need to list how many marathons you have finished. That is a huge accomplishment.

From Cheryl on Sun, Sep 07, 2008 at 13:19:08

Hey, Eric, welcome, welcome. I'm proud to see that beating me is one of your running accomplishments. You also beat me in that Riverton 5 mile run last year, remember? Yes, you should list how many marathons you've run. Wasn't Park City your 50th? Half way to 100!
