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.

After taking Sunday off, I was thinking I would have some bounce in my step and could even do some strides.  Not the case.  Temps were about 70 degs and slightly windy at noon when I ran.  I took off planning the usual run from work up the canyon to the 1 mile marker.  Ran into a few people from the City Creek group so ran slow for the first two miles and this was okay.  However, when I continued up the canyon by myself I was breathing harder than I should have.  From the gate to the 1 mile marker was 9:00 pace.  Not good.  I turned and ran down to the gate 7:18 pace, then to Memory Grove 7:30 pace, and back to work 8:00 pace.  Overall, the time was 56:43.  What concerns me most is that I am so exhausted.

Thinking of taking it super easy till Wasatch Back this weekend.
