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.

I hiked Timpanogos with my sons Ben and Brian yesterday.  We were quite compatible in our abilities although Brian suffered near the top with elevation issues.  (He lives in Chicago.)  We completed the hike in about 7 hours, 40 minutes with about 40 minutes at the summit.  What a beautiful mountain we have in our back yard.

 This was actually only my second time at the the summit.

5.53 mile in 47:27 or about 8:35/mile.  I took a longer break than planned after the Timpanogos hike, but I had a lot of lactic acid up until today.
