Running Accomplishments:

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.

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.

Married with 8 children and 5 grandchildren.  Youngest child is 13.

Total Distance
4.64

Hill route of 4.64 miles in 48:22.  Average pace 8:46 with these uneven splits:  9:18, 10:25, 7:16, 8:26, 8:34, and 8:35.  Saw lots of deer crossing my path, but they were just running from me.  My 14 min/mi pace up that hill must have scared them.

It's been a very dry winter.  Still no significant snow fall.  Skies are very clear and thermometer read 22 degrees this morning.

7:16? Where did that come from? Very interesting.

Just trying to keep my legs under me while falling down the hill. I've never been able to maintain that kind of speed on the flat.
