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.

4.65 miles in 39:31 for an average pace of 8:30/mi at 157bpm.  Maxed out at 171bpm, which is higher than usual.  At 16 degrees, I dressed up even warmer than usual and was not too cold.

5.53 miles in 48:31 for an average pace of 8:47 per mile with these paces 9:38, 8:47, 8:31, 8:37, 8:27, and 8:37.  Not really my best day, but a run nonetheless.  When I skip my runs, I still eat just the same and my weight shows it.  At least I did some core exercises yesterday.

Looked like almost a total eclipse of the moon on the west horizon, but if the earth was casting a shawdow, why was the lighted portion towards the horizon? I guess I don't understand eclispes very well. Holding a 3-D image in my head doesn't work very well for me.
