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.

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.

My wife let me know that our 6th grandchild was born this morning before I left to run.  Jeremy and Maggie had their third child in Boston.  We know it's a boy, but no further statistices are available at this time.  By comparison, my running statistics are very boring, but just for my own records, I ran 4.6 miles in 38:35 for an average pace of 8:23/mile.
