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.

5.49 in 46:24 or 8:27/mile.  Hopefully, I can achieve 30 miles this week.  Summer weather brought 71 degrees this morning, but it was still pretty tolerable.

Went to the mouth of the canyon and back.  Met Travis along the way who was going on a 20-mile bike ride.  He missed the PCM due to an injury, but is doing well with biking.

Ran 6.14 in 53:04 or 8:39/mile.

Ran up and down the steep hill, which was 5.05 miles in 45:04 or 8:55/mile.  Mile 3 was almost three minutes faster than mile 2 with the steepest incline.  Weather was great.

Went part way up the canyon and back.  Ben isn't running with me much any more because he's running with the cross country team.  Also, his shin splints are bothering him and he wanted an extra day of rest.  Mile paces ranged from 9:33 to 8:07, increasing with each mile except for one.  Average overall pace was 8:50/mile and total time was 1:29:51
