| Location: Orem,UT,USA Member Since: Jun 26, 2010 Gender: Male Goal Type: Boston Qualifier 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. Favorite Blogs: |

| | Ran in a snow shower this morning for a short distance. I think I didn't do any damage. 19 days till the marathon and no use risking anything now. I missed the 20 miler Saturday with Ben, but I rode my bike about 33 miles while I tracked him on his run. We ran the end of the Provo City Marathon and it is a beautiful course. I'm kind of excited about running it. | Add Comment |
| | 3.87 miles in sleet and about 35 degrees. 8:31/mile. Marathon in 18 days. Goal is to not lose fitness or increase injury. Therefore, a few short runs from here on out. Ankle hurts a little, but not too much. | Add Comment |
| | It was a cool 31 degrees this morning with no precipitation at all. I felt stronger than usual with mile paces ranging from 8:32 down to 7:24 and with improvements on each mile. Overall average was 8:13/mile. Seems promising for upcoming marathon. | Add Comment |
| | Reversed yesteday's route and took it easier 4.64 miles in 39:57 or 8:37/mile. | Add Comment |
| | Ten miles in the rain with Alma and Bishop Jones. Ben started out, but quit after three due to foot pain. It was a nice run most of the way, but the rain started coming down harder during the last two miles. The SLC marathon is today and it probably won't be the best marathon experience for most of them. Security is beefed up due to the events at Boston last Monday. | Add Comment |
