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.

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.

Planned to run 6.5 in the rain.  But I forgot the route distance and there was no rain.  It was a cool, cloudy 36 degrees.  Shorts, long sleeves, and gloves was about the right warmth, but my fingers were still frozen at the end.  Saw five deer that just stared at me as I ran by.  I stared right back.  On Monday, I saw a pack of about 10.

Started feeling a little foot pain at the end.  I'll need to be careful not to overdo it.  I'm leaning away from running UVM now.  End of summer will be much more successful for me.  It's too little too late on the training and I don't think my body can do a fast ramp up.
