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.

40:31 easy pace in Boise. Didnt have my GPS, so this is probably more like 4.2. Felt great!

Ran from the office up City Creek to the guard shack.  Very social run.  Ran into some friends and chatted while running.  Thats the good and bad about this course.  4.6 miles 38:17.  7:00 pace the last 2 miles.

Planned to do 400s at West High, so ran from the office over to the track (1.55) miles.  The track was full of students walking around the track, so I opted to run east up behind the LDS Conf center towards the capitol and Gravity hill.  Continued up towards the guard shack.  Lots of climbing!  Not sure on pace for this part, just enjoyed the day.  Then ran down from the guard shack to memory grove, to state street and back to work.  Last 2.5 @ 7:00 pace.  Focused on turnover while listening to Podrunner.

So I planned on running 6x.25 at Liberty Park using my GPS interval feature (love it!), but left the GPS at home.  Boo.  Opted to go by time, but that ended up being slightly long too.  Lets just say it was 1:45 fast with equal recovery.

Park was gorgeous.  Blossoms, soccer players, smell of barbecues, and even the pond is getting back in shape after the oil spill last year.

Ran easy 4ish miler from home, thru Lagoon trails and back.  Temps were warmer than we are used to (70s), but it felt good to me! Time was 34:05.

Also did Pilates Reformer class this morning.  Wondering if I will be sore tomorrow?

Met Anna D. at Einsteins on S. Temple in SLC and ran up into City Creek Canyon.  Basically we ran 6 miles one way, turned around, and went back.  We opeted to run back on S. Temple vs. the Aves so it was slightly longer on the way back.  We ran an easy pace (9:00s up and 8:30s down), so it was a nice conversational pace.  Great run.

Saw deer and a weird guy wearing camiflage clothes riding a bike with a rifle.  I think he was hunting?  Also heard there was a cougar carcass on the trail right below Upper Rotary park.
