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.

4.18 miles in 35:44 for an average pace of 8:33/mile.  The streets were mostly dry except for an occasional clump of snow.  The skies were clear and the air was a crisp 22 degrees.  I'm thankful that I ran, even though it was hard to push myself out into the freezing weather.

7.29 miles in 1:01:08 for an average pace of 8:23/mile.  Miles 4 and 8 were the fastest, but I gradually slowed down between mile 4 and 8.  So, I probably could have done better at the end.  It warmed up 10 degrees (to 32) since Monday and I wore my flat shoes.  Both factors helped my speed.  My weight was not in my favor as I have gained 10 pounds since last summer.

Ran without a GPS, but it was my 10.2 mile route and it took 91 minutes based on the house clock.  That's almost 9 minutes per mile.  A light rain the whole time, but I was a little too warm with long sleeves and gloves.  (Temperature was 47 degrees).
