Running Accomplishments:

Ran first marathon after 18 months of training (minus injury time) at age 52 in Logan, Utah on Sept 18, 2010.  Time was 4:16:56 compared to a goal of 4:15.

Second marathon was Oct 1, 2011 in the heat of St George.  Time fell to 4:52:27.

Short-Term Running Goals:

With two marathons behind me, my next goal is to run one in under 4 hours and potentially qualify for Boston within 2 years.

Long-Term Running Goals:

My primary physical goal is to live a long, healthy life and to stay active to the end.  While I can, I expect running to be a big part of that.

Personal:

Married with 8 children and 5 grandchildren.  Youngest child is 13.

Race: T-Wolf trot (3.07 Miles) 00:22:33
Total Distance
4.15

Local high school conducts this run every September and this year I ran it because Ben is on the cross country team;  There were about 400 runners.  My goal was to keep all the miles under 8 minutes and to finish within 23 minutes.  End resut was 22:33 or 7:21/mile.  Splits were 7:07, 7:31, and 7:34 with a maximum pace of 5:19.  I exceeded my goal.  When Ben and I ran the marathon, there was no one between us, and there was no one between us for this race either, but this time he beat me by a few steps.  I think I was 2nd place in my age division (51 and over), but only first place was mentioned.
