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.

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

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.

Total Distance
10.08

Skipped the Turkey trot, which was a 4 mile run because we had a birthday breakfast for my son before a trek to North Salt Lake for Thanksgiving dinner.

But, I got up early and ran 10.08 miles in 1:38:16.  Never really warmed up, and for good reason.  I saw 4 temperature readings at 6 degrees, 8 degrees, 11 degrees, and 12 degrees.  I dressed up to the max, but my fingers were still so frozen that I couldn't feel anything to untie my laces when I got back home.

Started limping pretty badly at mile 7.  I got a pain in the front of my left foot and I have been limping around all day.  Not sure what to do about this, but I think I better not run for a while.

Sorry to hear about the foot. Just keep icing it and walking around. I have had a lot of foot issues switching to flat shoes, for me that have been annoying but none of them have lasted too long.

It's starting to get better. I'm giving it a good rest, partly because I'm scared of the weather. It was under 10 degrees again this morning.
