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.

My 7th child turned 16 today, so now there's another driver out there to watch out for on the roads.  Actually, he's really a good driver.

I completed my 5.5 mile route in 46:57 for an average pace of 8:31/mi and 155bpm.  We had some snow yesterday, but the streets and sidewalks were mostly clear.

I did not feel like getting up, running, or running hard today, but I did all three.  4.66 miles in 39:41, 20 seconds faster than yesterday for the same route (8:31/mi).  Temperature was the same (32) but no precipitation this time.

Cool 10.17 miles this morning in 1:28:51 for an average pace of 8:44/mi.  Snow is in the forcast, but it was a dry 25 degrees this morning.  My fingers froze through my gloves.
