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.

Enjoyed a beautiful noon run up City Creek Canyon.  Very slow and still sore from the 25K on Saturday.  Downhills no bueno!  Did include some strides at the end of the run and felt better after picking up the pace vs. plodding along.  Odd.

4 miles on the treadmill at work.  Crazy busy day at the office and was grateful for the fitness center at the office.

Awesome yoga class after work.  I am finding that regular yoga is really helping with my chronic hip issues!

Big goose egg for running today.  I had a gait analysis in the morning which got me into work around 10:00 just in time for production issues at work.  Sigh.  Gait analysis was good.  Part one, the videoing on the treadmill, was today.  I meet with the sports med doc in 1 week.  He will analyze the video and whats going on with my form.

Enjoyable 8.4 mile loop in 1:06.  The last two are back home which is uphill, so always a challenge.  Felt good for the first 4 miles, then was tired.  Must still be feeling the 25K?

Going to watch Chris race this afternoon at UVU.  Excited!!!

Ran 9,1 easy miles (approx 8:25 pace) after a restless night of sleep.  Oddly, I felt great.  Must have been the Kashi Go Lean cereal with fresh blueberries & almond milk pre-run.  Usually, I don't eat much before morning runs. 

Course was from home thru the Lagoon trails winding over to Legacy Parkway.  Ran total about 4.3 miles out.  I returned a slightly different route, just enjoying the morning.

Oddly, it was sort of a zen type run not thinking about the past, the future, but only what is.  Very nice!
