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.

Distance is a guess again.  The time that was measured by my GPS was 3.7 miles in 31:31 or 8:31/mile.  I've had better days, but at least I got out this morning.

GPS lasted a full five miles (actually 5.02), but not beyond.  I was almost home when it stopped and I'm estimating a total distance of 5.1 miles.  The 5.02 took 41 minutes or 8:10/mile.  It was the hill route, so there was a lot of variations in my mile times:  8:36, 9:37, 6:54, 7:43, and 7:58.

My GPS lasted for 6.16 miles and 49:37.  That's an average of 8:03/mile along the Murdock trail.  My left achiles tendon is bothering me.  Hopefully it won't get worse.
