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

To close out my 2008 racing schedule, I decided to give a fixed-time 24-hour event a try. I entered Across the Years (ATY) 24-hour footrace held at Nardini Manor, in Buckeye, Arizona, east of Phoenix. For a fixed-time race, you try to cover as many miles as you can in 24 hours. Each year ATY attracts many of the elite in sport from around the world. I went away with a deep respect for those athletes who do well running this type of race.

I've recovered very well from my 104.39 miles at ATY 24-hour run on Dec 30.   I feel ready to go running again....except for a silly injury.  I tied my right shoe lace too tight and didn't notice it for about 40 miles!  Now I have a painful creaky tendon on the top of my foot.   I've had this kind of thing several times before, so I know it just heals with time off.  So, I'm probably sidelined for a week to heal up the foot.  But that is OK.  It is time to rest, recover, and send in race registrations for the new year. Besides, last month was a 400 mile month, my highest ever.  That is crazy.
