Long-Term Running Goals:

I would like to keep running ultras into my 60s. 

Personal:

Details at: http://www.crockettclan.org/ultras/ultracrockett.pdf Married with six kids and six grandchildren.  Started running at the age of 46 in 2004.  My first race since Junior High days was a 50K. I skipped the shorter road stuff and went straight to ultramarathons.  I started as a back-of-the packer, but have progressed to a top-10-percent ultra finisher.  Wish I would have started running at a much earlier age.  Have had several articles published in national running magazines.  Check out my running adventure blog at www.crockettclan.org/blog

Very easy treadmill miles.   Goals for RR100 are:   1. break 24 hours.   Have to do that.   But if the knee is fine, breaking 22 hours is very possible.  My 2005 time was 26:53 (my first 100 finish), 2008 was 25:38 (had significant feet problems and it was hot).   So, I hope to do well

See you soon.....

I think that is a really good goal and well within your abilities. You ended last season on a high note in your 100s. I think this first of 2010 will be fantastic. Good luck.

Nothing over 60 is predicted for the weekend, and at night it should drop into the high 30s, so we ordered good weather for you guys. Also dry, although it rained last night quite a bit.

Good luck with your race. I'm looking forward to reading the report.
