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.

3.08 miles at a slow pace.  The 300 mile bike ride is done, but my running has been neglected.  The one in charge of the bike ride now wants to run a marathon with me.  His problem is that he keeps injuring his calf every time he runs.  That happened again today near the end of our run.  It cramped up really bad on him.  Not sure what to tell him.  Maybe I pushed him a little too hard.

Went running with John and Ben at the track.  Ben stayed ahead of me even though I tried to catch him, but he went back home after the first mile.  John wanted to run on the level to avoid injuries.  John just turned 56, went on the bike ride with me, has had a heart attack and is now passionate about completing a marathon.

Ran 4 miles at a 9:45 pace with John.  It felt good for me.  We tried to stay as flat as possible.

Couldn't help but notice the Big Cottonwood Canyon Marathon.  Maybe I can break 4 hours on that one.
