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.

Total Distance
5.47

5.47 miles in 1:12:57 or 13:18 per mile.  Average heart rate:  127bpm, Max heart rate 134bpm.

I saw the 134bpm near the start of the run and just had to scale back my effort.  Later, I saw 132 a few times.  Managing a  low heart rate remains quite a chore for me.  Hopefully, I can build up enough of these low heart rate miles so that I won't be dead at the end of my 2nd marathon.

 There was actually a brief, light snow flurry near the start of the run, but the temperature display that I looked at said it was 37 degrees.  I think the cold weather will be over by June.

Certainly by August! I would love nothing more than running through a snowstorm for UVM.
