| Location: Orem,UT,USA Member Since: Jun 26, 2010 Gender: Male Goal Type: Boston Qualifier 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. Favorite Blogs: |

| | I ran to work and back to retrieve my lunch that I left there so that I could use it for a camping trip tonight. Not a normal run and not an impressive time: 43 minuutes for 4.46 miles, or 9:39/mile. At least I did some running as I won't be able to run tomorrow. | | Add Comment |
| | Today, I ran. It was very slow to start and speeding up towards the end, which is pretty normal. But, overall, considerably slower. 9:01 average pace per mile. That was also the speed of the second mile, with all subsequent miles quite a bit faster. That tells how long it takes to get warmed up in 41 degree weather. | | Comments(2) |
| | I decided it was time for long sleeves and gloves after Wednesday's cold run. Having nothing else to blame, this slowed me down to a 9:07 pace (51:23 for 5.64 miles). Trying to decide about the Virginia marathon. I don't feel like I'm in the best shape either physically or financially to make such a trip, but I would love to do it to be with my family. It's been about a year since I've seen my parents.

| | It was a good morning for running: 46 degrees, slight breeze, and clear. I wore my long sleeves and gloves, but probably could have gotten along without them. 10.12 miles took me 1:30:32 with an average pace of 8:57, which is 5 seconds per mile slower than last Saturday, but still pretty close. The problem is the direction I'm going. But I did finish strong: Mile 10 was 7:58 and the last fraction was at a 7:47 pace. | | Comments(1) |
