RUNNING HISTORY OF DAVE TAYLOR

Running became my primary form of exercise 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; since moving to Chelsea, I alternate quite a bit between the Dexter and Chelsea HS tracks. 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; however, my goal is to continue until I'm 60 and then combine elliptical, stationary bike, jogging, walking, running and treading as primary forms of aerobic exercise. Here are my fastest 3 mile (and 2 mile) times for each of the last several years:
