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: |

| | Based on the philosophy that some running is better than none (and that sleep is needed for a productive day), I ran only 2.61 miles in 21:34 for an average pace of 8:16/mile. Splits were 8:41, 7:59, and 8:02. Heart rate monitor didn't cooperate again. | | Add Comment |
| | About 5 miles in about 54 minutes. Didn't get GPS started at the beginning. By the time I figured that out, I was almost to the top of my hill. I started the GPS at the top and got good times for the rest of the run: 3.44 miles in 27:31 (7:59/mi) with splits of 7:36, 7:45, 8:31, and 8:16. On an "aided" course, I can hit the 8 minute miles. | | Add Comment |
| | Ran about 4.6 miles in about 52 minutes based on the wall clock. With no GPS, I tried to keep a conversational pace, but my heart rate probably didn't stay in range. Average pace of about 11:18 is an evidence of that. We had snow last night, but it didn't stick and it wasn't snowing this morning. So, we made it to December and I still haven't run in the snow.

| | Based on the forecast, I expected 19 degrees this morning and so I dressed in long warm-ups, long sleeves, gloves, and ski mask. By the time I got back, I was pretty wet with sweat. It was a much warmer 27 degrees. Yesterday, the winds were over 100mph in Davis county, but here in happy valley, we've had virtually no wind. I ran 4.64 miles in 39:31 for an average pace of 8:31 per mile at 155bpm, maxing out at 165bpm and 5:51/mi.

Had a nice slow run in a little bit of snow. A person that preceeded me had special shoes that showed his toes. He ran a long ways because I followed his tracks for so long. Then, later on, I picked up his tracks again.
11.08 miles in 2:13:34 for an average pace of 12:02/mile. Six miles were between 11:54 and 11:57, which was a pretty consistent pace. Heart rate was 126bpm. | | Add Comment |
