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.

Nice Mother's Day, although Abbie (the daschie) woke us up at 5:30 to go outside and we couldnt get back to sleep so we got up and went for an early morning walk, did a bit of yard work, then enjoyed yummy blueberry pancakes. Going for a short hike next.

Ran 3 miles on the tm at work at lunch.  Swamped but squeezed this in.  Warmed up for 5 mins then increased speed by .2 every min until reached 8.5 mph.  Did this twice.

Ran another 4.2 after work thru Lagoon trails.  Nice.  33:22.

Did 6x400 @ West High Track.  All were 97 sec, except the last one which was 92 sec.  First track outing since last summer and felt great to open up the pace!

 Warmed up on the track and cooled down with a run up City Creek.

Insomnia!!! Fell asleep well last night, but woke up at 3:00 and could not get back to sleep.  Oddly, the run today felt good.  Easy pace up City Creek Canyon and approx 7:00 pace the rest of the way!
