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.
4.61 miles in 56:01 or 12:09/mile with average heart rate of 126bpm, max 123bpm. The main reason I kept my heart rate low was because I was so wiped out.

From the cold going around? Your heart rate stayed very low, which is good.

Are you still wiped out?

I spent most of Thursday, Friday, and Saturday in bed with a sinus infection. Today, I made it to two of three meetings and only had two naps. I'm hoping to run a little bit tomorrow, but my coughing is terrible and painful. Very bad timing to get sick, but it is what it is. It ruined my last chance for a long run.
