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. Favorite Blogs: |

Tried out my new pair of Saucony shoes today and liked how they felt. The results were also a little better than usual. 5.49 miles in 47:25 for an average pace of 8:39/mile.
Temperature was somewhere between 6 and 9 degrees F, but I was plenty warm with extra layers. I saw a patch of blue sky yesterday. I can hope that this temperature inversion goes away and that we can soon breathe clean air again.

Got nearly the same results as yesterday except 3 degrees warmer and a mile shorter. Ran 4.6 miles in 39:47 for an average pace of 8:39/mile. Maybe more variation could help me to progress faster.

| | Ran with Teachers, Priests and leaders at the Rec center. 2nd mile was supposed to be fast. That means I tried hard, but I didn't time it. Several are coming along pretty well and a few are struggling. Hopefully, we'll get a good turnout for our 6 mile run on Saturday. | | Add Comment |
| | I wasn't sure I was going to run this morning, but decided to do it anyway, at least for a short distance. Did 3.96 miles in 33:49, for an average pace of 8:33/mile. I'll take it. It was 28 degrees this morning, which is a lot warmer than it's been. | | Add Comment |
| | The young men are starting to ramp it up, but only some of them. Three ran with us today, including my son Ben. We ran 6.06 miles in 53:57 8:54/mile. Two of them took off at the end and I tried to catch them, but couldn't. Since I had planned 14 for today, I ran 10.1 before the young men run for my total of 16.16. The fog came down and reduced visibility to about 30 feet. Even lighted signs were hard to see until I got close. That run was 10.1 in 131:29 for an average pace of 9:03/mile | | Add Comment |
