About me:  Started Running 3 1/2 years ago (after a 20 year layoff). Lost 35 pounds. Goal is to set a marathon PR this year for my 60th birthday. I am blessed with a terrific wife, 5 children, and 9 grandchildren. (PR's listed are since returning.) Why do I run:  Enjoyable, efficient, and sometimes inspirational way to stay in shape. I am spending my time this year between Michigan and Utah -- both are ideal for running. Why I started running:  Have met many outstanding people through running. Just returned from a year in South Africa where I ran each morning with runners from both the Rand Athletic Club and Rockies Running Club. Really miss the people and the weather. Raced in 58 races in 52 weeks (the people there are a bit insane).
