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.

With two marathons behind me, my next goal is to run one in under 4 hours and potentially qualify for Boston within 2 years.

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.

I'm quite sure I could have walked my route in the same time that I ran it today at 13:28/mile.  Maybe I'll try that and see what happens to my heart rate.  It will probably go up because jogging at that speed is practically effortless.  Although the average heart rate was 128bpm, I had to keep a hawk eye on it.  Once, it crept up to 136 when I was unaware.

We had snow twice yesterday and the temperature was  a little cooler than normal at 27 degrees, but it was OK and the run felt good.

Good job, that's several days in a row now. If you are like me, it will take 8 to 10 weeks before your pace starts to pick up. It can be frustrating but so far I am glad LHR pacing is still a big part of my training.
