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.

| | 2.25 miles in the treadmill in 30 minutes. I have a difficult program that keeps changing speeds, with 4 minutes at 6.8 miles per hour. Being indoors, I sweated a lot. Part of the reason for the treadmill this morning was the heavy rain that I heard when I woke up. After the fact, I'm not sure if the indoors or the outdoors would have soaked me the most. | | Comments(1) |
| | 3.75 miles in 47:10 or 12:35 per mile and 126bpm. This might be my best low heart rate so far. Yesterday, I did some speed work, and I think it helped. Interspersing speed work with low heart rate training may be the ticket to progress. | | Comments(1) |
| | 6.27 miles in 1:19:56 (12:45/mile and 127bpm). Spring has sprung! It was a beautiful 55 degrees early this morning. My mother turned 82 today. I gave her breakfast in bed (apples and yogurt with a candle). It beats my customary email for her birthday.

| | 5.48 miles in 1:12:31, or 13:14 per mile at average heart rate of 127bpm. It was a bit cooler at 41 degrees this morning. But, I'll blame the sluggish time on over-indulging last night at an all-you-can-eat buffet following Elisa's graduation ceremony. She sang the national anthem and had all 4 grandparents there! | | Comments(1) |
| | 10.12 miles in 2:10:09 or 12:52/mile at 129bpm. I wanted to go faster, but my heart rate kept creeping up. It was 59 degrees and beautiful today. The whole run was in the daylight. | | Add Comment |
