| 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: |

| | 3.76 miles in 51:03 for 13:36 per mile with average heart rate 127 and max rate of 134. It was nice running weather at 40 degrees. It wasn't snowing, but it is now. I don't think anything will stick. We had 21 people for Easter dinner, but had enough food for 42. Not wanting anything to go to waste, I ate enough for two people, but to no avail. It went to my waist anyway. I'll have to do a lot better than I did today to get those pounds off.

| | 5.47 miles at an average pace of 13:40 per mile and an average heart rate of 126bpm (134bpm max). At 32 degrees it was a little cooler than usual, but there was no precipitation. Today is a big day for Charles. We expect him to get his mission call in the mail. He's got a final final at Snow college today and he will probably come home late tonight.

| | 5.48 miles in 1:12:05 for 13:09 per mile with average heart rate of 127bpm. This is an improvement for me. I think a little more consistency is paying off, even if I have to get by on less sleep. It warmed up to 37 degrees this morning, compared to 32 degrees yesterday. Not too many deer lately. One crossed in front of me this morning, but that's the only one I've seen all week. Still awaiting news on Charles' mission call. Hopefully, that will come today.

| | 4.62 miles in 58:44 or 12:43/mile. Average heart rate was 126bpm, max 134. This is even better than yesterday and encouraging. I think it helped that the wind was blowing in the uphill direction. No news for Charles mission call yet. At this point, it will probably be next week. Any ideas about where he might go are welcome.

7.28 miles in 1:36:11 or 13:13/mile at 127bpm with an unexplained spike of 141bpm max, although I did see 134bpm heart rate a couple of times. That time is about 3 minutes faster than Brian ran the half marathon today at Thanksgiving point. Charles and I went to see him finish and he looked pretty good.
What a beautiful morning it was. At 32 degrees, it was cold enough for snow, and there was a nice snow storm during the whole time, which was accumulating everywhere but on the streets. Being so late in the season, I probably won't have that opportunity again until next fall. | | Comments(1) |
