Running Accomplishments:

I have run 12 marathons, 5 since major surgery in 2005. My fastest was Leipzig in 1992. 3 hours 11 minutes 48 seconds. The Mesa-Phx Marathon on February 25, 2017 was the fastest since my surgery at 4:26:59.

Short-Term Running Goals:

I want to improve on my last Marathon time. After the Phoenix Marathon that I ran February 25, 2017 I want to focus on shorter races and do a sprint tri. I did improve about 45 minutes faster on the Mesa-Phx Marathon over the last Petrified Forest Marathon and about 27 minutes faster than the last time I ran the Mesa-Phx Marathon.

Long-Term Running Goals:

Continue to run and work on my speed. Do shorter races and a sprint tri in the next year.

Personal:

I have been an educator for 32 years. My wife, Margaret, and I have 6 children and at the present time 6 grandchildren. Running helps to keep me level. I love it and hope to continue to run for many years to come.

PM run. Started out knowing course I wanted to run but hadn’t run it before so I didn’t know exactly how far it was. When I was close to the end I knew that I could make 10 miles by making one additional short loop in the neighborhood. I felt pretty good so I did it. 1:45:38 with 10:24 pace. I knew I was going farther so I tried to keep the pace as close to 10 min as possible. That only worked for a few miles. 9:54, 10:06, 10:46, 10:54, 10:27, 10:31, 10:08, 9:59, 10:28, and 10:37 with 1:48 to finish. This is the longest I have run since my last marathon almost 2 years ago.

I was going to run a marathon in June with Tim but he is not planning to do that anymore because of an injury. I am not sure what my goal is except to keep my miles up higher than I had been keeping them. Since I upped my miles I have lost 7 lbs.
