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.

1:01:04 with 9:49 pace. Eagar AM. 9:53, 9:48, 9:50, 9:48, 9:51, and 9:50 with 2:05 for last .22. HR 136. Training Effect 3.2. Ave. cadence faster but Mac lower. Max vo2 went down a point. I felt like I had to work harder even though I avoided a lot of elevation changes to the extent I could. I am wondering if intermittent fasting without getting enough calories could be the reason.

Eagar AM. 1:24:07 with 10:22 pace. 9:57, 10:14, 10:54, 10:26, 9:56, 10:28, 10:32, and 10:33 with 1:07 for .11. Ave. HR 125. Training Effect 2.5. Max vo2 stayed at 49. I still felt a little drained. In addition to the intermittent fasting, I have not been eating baked goods. I am wondering if that is keeping me from getting enough calories. Another week of that. I didn’t run Tuesday or Thursday because of not sleeping the night before. If I run 5 tomorrow I will still get over 26 miles this week.

Woke up really sore today. Had a total of just over 31,000 step day yesterday with the 8 mile run.
