Ran first marathon after 18 months of training (minus injury time) at age 52 in Logan, Utah on Sept 18, 2010. Time was 4:16:56 compared to a goal of 4:15.
Second marathon was Oct 1, 2011 in the heat of St George. Time fell to 4:52:27.
Short-Term Running Goals:
With two marathons behind me, my next goal is to run one in under 4 hours and potentially qualify for Boston within 2 years.
Long-Term Running Goals:
My primary physical goal is to live a long, healthy life and to stay active to the end. While I can, I expect running to be a big part of that.
Personal:
Married with 8 children and 5 grandchildren. Youngest child is 13.
10.14 miles in 2:03:24 with an average heart rate of 127bpm and an average pace of 12:10/milie.
What a difference a week makes. I feel good and my pace was almost a minute per mile faster than last week. It was a very tolerable 32 degrees outside.

Very nice, glad things are rounding into shape for you. It takes so long to get over a marathon, but that's the reason I run so there is no choice.
