| Member Since: Nov 27, 2016 Gender: Male Goal Type: Other 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. Favorite Blogs: |

| 2 mile warmup. Miles 3-6 and 11-14 did two minute fartlek. Miles 7 and 8 are up so i held steady and then the same for 9 and 10. I did not run back up the hill to end. I cooled down as I walked up the hill to the house. I forgot my orthotics because I haven't been wearing them.

| Brutal Wind. 25mph sustained winds 2nd half. First half 83:45. 2nd half 104 even. Started at 3 degrees with wind chill at 24 degrees. Ended at 39 degrees with wind chill at 30 degrees. First half felt pretty good. Had to stop at 2.5 because two dogs came after me out on the highway. At mile 9 the wind picked up and I was running more into it. Difficult running. I was at 2:08:10 at the half marathon. |

| Shot for 10 minute pace for first 9 miles. They were 958, 1017, 955, 942, 947, 942, 1008, 957, 1009. At turn around i started to do 2 minute pickups twice a mile. That didn't last because after two miles i just wasn't feeling quite right. Second half ended up being 937, 945, 1002, 1114, 1218, 1055, 1101, 1149, and 1436. To end the last mile i walked about .5 because it is very steep and I didn't feel right. |

| Ran with My brother Don. These times came from his garmin. They are different than my phone gave in some cases significantly. I felt pretty good but was sore afterwards for a day. 2:02:40 total time. 9:38, 9:28,9:38,9:35,9:36,9:24,9:19,9:21,9:23,9:19,9:199:16,9:08 then the .02. I'm pretty sure Don could have taken off a few miles before the end of the run. I finished about 10 seconds after he did. |
