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.

Decided to run from the office to West High and do 8x200.  Being that I am still getting back after ankle surgery, I have decided to start easy by throwing in strides or 200s a couple of times a week.  Hopefully, I can progress quickly to 400s then 800s.

Times for the 200s were MUCH slower than when I have done them in the past.  Avg 48 sec per 200.

Thanks Julie! 2005 was a great running year and unfortunately when I broke 3:00 in St George I said "I am retired". Never say that. I have had a string of injuries since. I am optomistic tho about 2011 and my goal is to get back into the groove.
