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.

| | 4.66 miles in 38:37 for an average pace of 8:17/mi and an average heart rate of 154bpm, 167bpm max. I had no choice but to run fast today because I didn't have much time. It was 34 degrees, but the extra effort made me sweat. These were my splits: 8:52, 8:17, 8:09, 7:56, 8:08. You saw that right. I broke 8 minutes on mile 4!

I had time to experiment this morning and changed my run, partly so that I could check on a test I started at work yesterday. I went down to my place of employment. But that meant most of the run after that was uphill. My heart rate monitor didn't behave, so the first part of the run was mostly be feel. When I started going uphill, it started working again. Overall, I ran 10.11 miles in 2:21:28, which is a very poor pace of 13:59/mi. Not sure how I can explain it.
I ate two Thanksgiving dinners today. One for my parents and one for Karen's parents. I can still hear my stomach working overtime to process the extra load I gave it today. | | Add Comment |

Did a round about run to work and back again this morning to check on my test. So far, over 1,875,000 transmissions have occurred without error. Might as well keep it going until Monday.
I slept in until 5:30 this black Friday, but I was the exception. By the time I got out (and it was still black outside), the streets were very busy with traffic.
Ran down and then up today for an average pace of 12:38/mi and 126bpm, including over 2 miles of a malfunctioning heart rate monitor.

| | 10.13 miles in 2:00:24 for an average pace of 11:53/mile. I had a feeling when I walked out the door that this would be a better run, and it was. My heart rate monitor cooperated the whole time and my average heart rate was 127bpm. | | Comments(1) |
