Running History of Dave Taylor

RUNNING HISTORY OF DAVE TAYLOR

Running became my primary form of exercise in 1992 after having a blood clot in my left leg as a result of a calf muscle tear in August to September, 1989. I had run previously on a fairly regular basis, but usually only running for one mile. I prefer to run on a track; my primary place of preference is at Ferry Field where the University of Michigan outdoor track is (unless snow is on the track and I'm forced to go indoors). From 1992-2005, I ran 3 miles every other day, and since 2006, it has been 2 miles. Since moving to Chelsea in 2006, I alternate quite a bit between the Dexter and Chelsea HS tracks, but prefer the Dexter one. It is encouraging that I've disciplined myself (mind and body) to become a runner as it has greatly increased my aerobic and breathing capacity, and kept me in better overall physical shape. I haven't always felt mentally or physically like running every scheduled day and certainly it isn't always easy running in rainy, windy or cold weather; however, there has never been one time that I didn't feel better after completing my run than feeling prior to the run. Aging has slowed me down, and it is quite a challenge to deal with the aging process and injuries. My previous goal was to continue to run until I was 60 and then combine elliptical, stationary bike, jogging, walking, running and treadmill as primary forms of aerobic exercise. Now, I've readjusted my goal to continue to run two miles every other day, and then reduce to 1.5 miles every other day if my body can't handle it through my 70s. In the chart below, I'd predict my 1.5 mile time at the age of 64 would be in the 80-90% range of 12:20-13:53 based on my current times. Here are my fastest 3 mile (and 2 mile) times for each of the last several years:
