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.
Distance of 5.5 miles is approximate. Time is unknown. Battery was too low on GPS. Temperature was warmer than the forcast (34) for which I can be thankful. I felt pretty good running this morning and felt like I had a good run.

How cold was it? If you tried to run outside here, you would be able to only in the car lanes, and only on the major streets.

The temperature was 34 compared to a forecast of 18 degrees F. We've had some snow, but nothing significant and the roads, including the shoulders, are clear. That's likely to change in the next 24 hours.
