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.

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.

6.38 miles on steep route, completed in 57:14 for an average pace of 8:58/mile.  I felt like I was going faster than that, but the fast miles didn't quite make up for the slow miles.

I'm breaking my own rule to record something without running something, but I felt compelled to give a weather report.  I did 77 pushups, 76 situps 200 overhead pumps with dumbells, 40 squats and 40 ankle exercises and rode my bike to work.  My face and hands froze during those 15 minutes of riding, even with a ski mask and gloves.  Then I checked the weather, which compelled me to give this report:  8F degrees, wind chill -3F

5.52 miles in 46:56 for an average pace of 8:30/mi, which is 7.1mph.  Temperatures warmed up to 35 degrees this morning, which was nice running weather. Saw two deer or one deer twice, probably the latter.

Ran a slightly longer route this morning because I woke up slightly earlier.  6.44 miles in 55:17 for an average pace of 7mph or 8:35 min/mi.  It was wet but not really raining and 38 degrees.

Got the heart rate monitor synced up with Charles' GPS but did a regular run.  11.46 miles in 1:39:45 for an average pace of 8:42/mile and an average heart rate of 159bpm (max 166bpm)  I probably could have done much better than that, but the long one mile uphill at the end took its toll.
