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.

Waited 2.5 hours.

Treadmill 46:43 overall, 9:19 average. 10 min warmup then 9:13, 8:34, 8:52, and 9:31 to end.

Started at 6:20

Treadmill 57:08 overall with 9:28 pace. First two miles at 9:40 pace. Mile 3 at 8:34. Mile 4 at 9:13 Mile 5 at 9:40 and mile 6 at 9:50 pace.

Running helped me feel better today. I got other stuff done as well. I had planned to do 3-6 more miles but decided against it because i was not able to do my runs 90 minutes apart as I had planned.
