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.

| | 4.63 miles in 1:03:47 or 13:47/mile, Avg heart rate 127bpm. Wore short sleeves and no gloves in the 45 degree weather. It was a little chilly, but tolerable. | | Comments(1) |
| | 4.63 miles in 43:27 or 9:23/mile. Oh yes, average heart rate was 152bpm. Besides running it like a race today, I also went back to long sleeves, gloves, and a hat in the 42 degrees, rainy weather. Got some new snow in the mountains, but none in Orem. | | Comments(4) |
| | 3.76 miles in 48:57 at 128bpm. 42 degrees and very rainy, but no thunder and lightening, although I'm still nervous running in the rain, wondering if I'm ready to meet my maker. | | Add Comment |
| | What a rainy week it has been. I went out into a downpour this morning and was soaked in a few minutes. For more than half a mile, my heart rate registered in the 170's. When it finally started recording accurately, it was in the 130's. I could have slowed down a little and continued with low heart rate training. But with the GPS anomaly and the downpour, I had no more motivation to go slowly and I made today a fast run. So much for planning ahead. But at least I kept the plan to run. 4.63 miles in 42:48 or 9:14/mile. Average heart rate 154bpm, 181 max, but I don't really believe the 181. | | Comments(1) |

10.15 miles in 2:09:14 or 12:44/mile. Heart rate 127bpm. Perfect weather: mostly clear and 50 degrees. I don't think I've had such a good run for a long time.
Next week is health week at work and we are wearing pedometers all week. Whoever takes the most steps wins a prize. Maybe I can win one. In the normal course of the day, I took 2700 steps yesterday. On my run this morning, I took 23,000 steps. If I can run every day next week, maybe I'll be famous! | | Comments(2) |
