Short-Term Running Goals:

Have not seriously raced since 2005, but just run for fun while gettting over several injuries.  Goal is to get back my fitness and not get re-injured.  I am much older now and recovery takes a bit longer.  Goals for 2011, besides staying healthy:

Wasatch Back Relay

Top of Utah Half Aug 1:32

Reach the Beach Relay (Sept)

The Other Half marathon Oct 1: 30

 



Long-Term Running Goals:

I would love to do a 50 miler, plus get back to running a marathon in the 3 hr + range, but need to get running healthy again.

Personal:

Married with two grown boys.  One has embraced running and the other is a snowboard fanatic.  My profession, I am a computer analyst and geek.  After hours, I am a fitness nut who also enjoys reading and hanging out with my family.

Beautiful run at lunch.  4.7 mile course from work, up Memory Grove to the guard shack at City Creek Canyon and back (38:42) .  Ran easy on the way up and quicker on the way down.  What a difference it makes being able to run in shorts and sports bra. 

Went to a Yoga for Strength class after work.  Lots of strength moves, planks, handstands, balance moves plus hip openers.  I think this is already helping my running.

Note, this was my fifth running day in a row.  Have not done that since my ankle surgery in December!!!

Planks, handstands, hip openers..... sounds dangerous! Great job. Good luck with your goals. I ran in shorts this morning..not brave enough with the sports bra....
