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.

Ran with Don in Mesa. 1:11:17 with 10:08 pace. Ran canals. Started run at 5:20 AM and it was 84 degrees for most if not all of the run. The sun only hit me a little bit at the end. 10:02, 9:49, 10:00, 10:07, 9:58, 10:00, and 10:43 with 38 sec for the last.03. The heat got to me at the end. Don pulled away at the end but we ran together for most of the run, I think about 6.25 miles. He took it easy on me. Ave.HR 123, training effect 2.5. Cadence was a little slower than it has been in Eagar. It was almost 30 degrees warmer than my Eagar runs. Ave. elevation about 1255 feet. Normal runs are 7000 and above.
