| 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: |

| | 5.07 miles in 45:23 for an average pace of 8:57 at 155bpm. Max, if they can be believed are 5:24 pace and 178bpm. This was my steep hill route with the following splits: 9:22 (warmup, mostly uphill), 10:36 (including very steep uphill for a half mile), 7:35 (all downhill, quite steep), 8:24 (mostly downhill, 8:52 (mostly uphill), and 8:25 (uphill) Chased about 8 deer on mile 2 and two dogs chased me on mile 4 (when I got the 5:24 pace). I couldn't shake them off. So, I finally stopped and made friends. It took a couple of minutes to calm them down. I'm not sure if the 178bpm is accurate either, although I frequently saw readings of about 162. I'll have to take this route more often. It's not as boring.

| | 4.61 miles in 57:12 for an average pace of 12:25/mi at 126bpm. After yesterday's effort, it was a nice, easy day. The flag was not waving at all. That means no wind at 38 degrees. | | Add Comment |
| | Decided to try running on Wednesday knowing full well that I would need to run around a garbage can in the middle of the sidewalk that is always there on Wednesdays. It turned out pretty well. 4.62 miles in 55:02, for an average pace of 11:55/mi at 126bpm, max 134bpm. It was colder than usual (29 degrees) and I still beat yesterday's time on the same run, at the same heart rate by 30 seconds per mile. I don't have a good explanation, but I think I was more rested.

| | 5.48 miles in 1:06:40 for an average pace of 12:10/mi and an average heart rate of 127bpm. At 48 degrees, the weather was perfect, but the sky was overcast, and there were very few stars to be seen. | | Comments(2) |

12.6 miles, but I don't have the other data. I ran so long, that the battery wore down on my GPS. I noticed during the last couple of miles that I had to run slower to keep the heart rate down. Maybe that means I was running out of energy.
We had our first snow that stayed last night, but on the roads and sidewalks, there was just a little ice, which is quite slippery at 32 degrees. Thankfully, I managed not to fall. | | Add Comment |
