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.

It has been years since I ran a 5K, but when I found out this was being run in my absolute favorite area ... City Creek Canyon ... I had to sign up.  I did a warm up with my huz and jogged to the City Creek gate and back.  2 miles.

 Lined up a couple of rows from the front.  Lots of joggers, strollers, and DOGS.  No idea why dogs were allowed.

Took off fairly conservative as the course climbs at the start. 7:13 pace for the first mile.  Course  continues to climb for another .6 or so then turns and runs down down towards Memory Grove.  7:11 pace and slipped on dog poo.  Yuck.  Last 1.1, I put on the guns.  6:15 pace!

 3rd female overall and 1st in AG. 

 Fun day, lots of give aways, great food.

 Jogged back up towards the canyon and back to the car for 2 additional miles.

Dog poo in City Creek Canyon? Isn't that supposed to be protected watershed area? Nice race.
