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.

4.62 miles in 38:13 or 8:16 per mile.  First four miles were faster than Saturday, but the last stub was quite a bit slower.  I ran hard enough to feel it in my legs and was not able to maintain the intensity at the end.

Same route, slower speed.  Not sure why, but my calves were bothering me most of the run and now I'm walking around like I ran a marathon.  I know I took a lot of time off, but I didn't think I was ramping back up too fast.  Hopefully, it will feel better as the day progresses.  Ran 4.64 miles in 39:20 for an average pace of 8:29/mi.

5.64 miles at average pace of 8:20/mile.  First mile and a half were quite slow than I had three back to back miles under 8 minutes.  Nice weather at 43 degrees.
