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.

5.64 miles in53:01 for an average pace of 9:24/mi.  First mile was 10:39 and last fraction was 8:44.  I was able to increase the pace each mile, mainly because I wasn't sure what I could do and I took it easy at first.  Had some foot pain, but nothing too bad.

I've taken a long break from running, partly to heal and partly to prepare for a long bike ride to St. George with the boys (about 320 miles in 3 days).  Did 3 26 mile rides in the past week and planning my first 50 mile ride tomorrow.  It's all I can do to keep up with everyone else, but so far they haven't complained about my slowness.
