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.
3.75 miles in 46:31 or 12:25/mile at 127bpm Definitely an easy day, but it's what I had time for and at least I ran.

I'm only running 3 times a week but I think it's working better for me. I am always impressed by you and Mark, who just keep answering the bell.
