| 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: |

| | No GPS today, but I ran with my brother who had a GPS. Our average pace was 9:56, which we maintained throughout. I enjoyed running with the "master", especially in his weakened state after his Saturday 28 mile trek to the summit of King's Peak and back. | | Add Comment |
| | 5.54 miles in 49:05 (Avg pace, 8:52/mi, Avg hr 148bpm) Max pace 6:35/mi, Max HR 164bpm. It was a good run with a generally increasing pace: 10:13, 9:01, 8:31, 8:24, 8:30, and 8:20. | | Add Comment |
| | My goal was to beat 9 min/mile and I did it in spite of a slow first mile. With the exception of the seventh mile, each mile was an improvement over the previous one. These were my splits: 10:20, 9:06, 8:46, 8:39, 8:36, 8:34, 8:35, and 8:12 (partial). Overall, it was 7.31 miles in 1:05:09 for an average pace of 8:55/mile and an average heart rate of 149bpm with 165bpm max. My heart rate increased with my speed and distance. At some point, this run would have been unsustainable. I just don't know what that point is. | | Add Comment |
| | Late to bed, late to rise = short, fast run. 4.66 miles in 38:50. Average pace 8:20/mi max 6:27/mi Avg heart rate 156bpm, max 167bpm. Today, I worked hard for the whole run and my pace did slacken a bit at the end: 8:53, 8:16, 7:52, 8:08, and 8:40. I especially liked the 7:52 mile. | | Comments(1) |

18.16 miles up and down Provo canyon and part of South Fork in 2:50:32. Average pace of 9:23/mile and average heart rate of 148bpm. Max pace was 5:49 (I don't know how that happened without getting hit in the back by a bicycle.)
I almost wished I had dressed warmer. It was 53 degrees with a strong head wind when I started. But the coolness and the tail wind helped me on the way down. These were my mile times: 10:40, 10:22, 10:08, 9:39, 9:52, 9:51, 9:56, 9:21, 9:22, 9:39, 8:59, 8:19, 8:56, 8:50, 9:02, 9:11, 8:44, 8:30, 7:51 (partial) | | Comments(1) |
