| 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: |

| | 4.1 miles at a 9:33 pace. John set the pace and he did better than the same route on Saturday. Travis joined us, who hasn't run since his St Geroge marathon in college. He did well on our bike trip, but seemed to struggle a little this morning. He's in the Bishopric, so maybe this can be a trend for the whole ward. I think he's in his 30's. | | Add Comment |
| | John learned again that he has problems with hills. This time he pulled his hamstring just after the climb. We walked for a while before he told me to go ahead. Hopefully, it isn't serious. | | Comments(1) |
| | Ran towards the temple from our Ephriam motel to Manti. Since I was running alone, I worked harder than usual and ran an average pace of 8:25/mile. It felt good. | | Add Comment |
| | Even though it was mostly walking, I'm counting the distance. We took 6 Priests and 3 adults, including me up to the tallest peak in Toole county (Deseret Peak) this morning. It was a little warm at the bottom (especially on the return trip) and cold at the top (11,000 feet in elevation). I noticed some difficulty breathing beginning at about 9000 feet. All the boys made it, but one adult only made it to the ridge at 10,000 feet. I don't remember ever feeling a fiercer wind. It almost blew us off our feet. We enjoyed leaning into the wind. I might receive some photos to post, not sure. | | Add Comment |
