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.

Met my good friend Anna at the Einsteins on Wasatch Dr and I am glad I had someone to meet cuz the weather was awful.  On my own I would have run on the treadmill and not as far.  We did a loop running south on Wasatch, then dropped down the hill running west and then back south again and wound up by Porcupine Grill (Big Cottonwood Canyon), then ran back on Wasatch.

Weather was really a horrible mix of snow, ice, and rain.  Roads were also slick, so our pace was approx 8:50.  Very slow for us. 

I have been really sore since the Buffalo Run 25K so scheduled a massage for this afternoon.  I hope that helps put the bounce back in my legs!

That weather was horrible. I'm glad it was a rest day for me. I always laugh at myself when I see people running in horrible weather like that I think they are crazy, but I've run in some pretty insane weather myself!!
