| 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: |

| | 7.27 miles in 1:22:49 for an average pace of 11:23/mi and an average heart rate of 127bpm. These were my lap times: 11:58, 11:25, 11:12, 10:56 (pretty good, I'd say), 11:08, 11:18, 11:39, 11:56. I've pretty much concluded that the shoes are making the difference. My old shoes are always faster than my new shoes. I got my new shoes, about a year ago, because my old shoes were too slow. Just think how fast I could go with another pair of new shoes. | | Add Comment |
| | Finally got up early enough to run, but I came to work quite late to do it. My family is operating on Hawaii time zone and I expect they will have some jet lag to deal with when they go back to school next week. I just arrived to work on my bike, but I think they are all in bed still. "They" are my whole family except for my married children. I ran the hill route (in the rain) this morning, which was 5.04 miles in 45:56, for an average pace of 9:07/mi and heart rate of 152bpm. Got a new, high tech running shirt for Christmas that glows in the dark and is quite warm. Too warm, in fact for this morning's run in the rain.

| | Same route, same distance as last Friday, but lower heart rate and lower speed (11:40/mi at 125bpm). Temperature was 20 degrees warmer too (39 degrees), but it still felt cold, I think because of the humidity. The good thing about today is that I ran.

| | My GPS didn't last for today's long run, especially after stopping in to check on a test at work. I calculated the distance as 12.94 miles based on the pedometer and it took 3:26 with some work time included. It was low heart rate training at about a 12 minute pace. | | Add Comment |
