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.

1.61 miles, unknown time and heart rate, but it was an easy run.  It was 38 degrees and raining.  As the first run following a marathon, I'd say I'm being plenty careful to let my body recover.

Next marathon will probably be the June 9 Utah Valley Marathon.  It is ideal in that I can train on the course, but not such ideal timing.  The height of my training will be in the dead of winter.

7.31 miles in 1:11:02 for an average pace of 9:43 in the rain with long sleeves and gloves and a hat.  41 degrees outside says winter is here and it will probably stay around for a while.  I ran far enough today to bring back the blisters and I wore myself out pretty good.  Maybe it was a little more than I was ready for.
