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.

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.

Four quick miles is better than zero.  Cough was worse this morning, but steroid helped.  Ran 4 miles in 33:07 for an average pace of 8:18/mile (158bpm).  At 25 degrees it was a little cool.

4.86 LHR miles in 1:03:06 (12:59/mi and 126bpm)  It felt good to wake up early enough to do  a slow run again.  I also feel good after doing slow runs, more so than fast runs.

They opened up one of the streets I usually run on today, but I found out after I was out.  So, I adjusted my route a little and ended up with 11.28 miles in 1:39:18.  I started wearing down at the end, when I ran a 9:03 mile and the warm-up mile was a 10:34.  All the other miles were in the eights with an average rate of 8:48/mi and 159bpm.  I'm still feeling it, indicating that I've lost some fitness with my sickness, which won't go away.
