Running Accomplishments:

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.

4.65 miles in 42:05 or 9:02 per mile.  No big deal, but just part of slowly ramping back up after the marathon.  I don't feel hardly any ill effects from the marathon any more.  I need to come up with a new training plan, but I know it includes more than I'm doing now.

As I left this morning, I noticed Jupiter, near the horizon in the west.  Then I searched for the Big dipper and the north star, both very dim by comparison.  I have been observing the Orion constellation for months, which is much easier to find than the big dipper, but, I finally  know what it is.

 Well that explains it.  My star gazing is slowing me down.

Hey, better than being able to tell your wife at the end of the run how many nails there were on the road. That is what my bad form looks like.
