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.

| | Murray Canal trail in 46 degrees. Coolest morning of the season. No bundling up yet. Based on my weight loss during the run, I don't think I sweated as much as usual. 7.3 miles were completed in 58:24 for an average pace of 8:00/mile. Encountered 13 other runners. Maybe I just wasn't seeing them on darker runs. The full moon cast a very clear shadow this morning.

| | Running was the last thing I wanted to do this morning. So, I did an easy 3.9 miles in 33:38 or 8:38/mile. Feels good now.

| | Plan was old 10 mile route. At mile 3 my ankle started hurting. Stopped and stretched. Ran slowly for a while as I considered various options for shortcuts home. Decided on a turn-around for a 7 mile route. Then my ankle started feeling better and I sped up. So I ran to the Murdock trail and ran on that for a while to get to the 10 mile plan. My ankle never really bothered me again. End result was an average speed of 8:00/mile for 10.37 miles, which took 1:22:55.
