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.
4.63 miles in 1:03:47 or 13:47/mile, Avg heart rate 127bpm. Wore short sleeves and no gloves in the 45 degree weather. It was a little chilly, but tolerable.

I used to think I needed long sleeves and a beanie (to protect my sensitive ears) every time the temperature got below 50. But after training through the summer last year I don't change anything until it gets below 40 now. On the other hand, I can't seem to hear as well . . . .
