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.

Met Kil at West High after work.  Did a 1.25 mile warmup, stretched, then did 7x400.  Conservative on pace.  1:37-1:32.  Oddly, I felt better as the reps went on?

Pressed for time, ran 4 miles on the TM at work.  Started off very easy, then picked it up the last 2 miles.  Ended the last mile at 8.5 mph.

Planned on running at noon, but could not get away from work.  Then switched to planning to run after work, but had to work late.  Decided to rest.

More rain, so decided to pack a Redbox DVD under my Gortex jacket and run to return it and see how it went.  Felt good and the rain let up, so continued on and explored the new Rio Grande trail in West Farmington.  Nice, new asphalt trail which traverses thru West Farmington and its SHADED!  Ran about 8:00 pace.

Horrid night of sleep last night.  Fire on the side of the mountain, so we were up and couldnt get back to sleep.  Decided to make myself run again today by running my errands.  Ran to the Post Office (2 miles) then off to the Farmington and Rio Grande trails.  Very nice day, but very tired.  Just ran for fun.  Ran out to where my Garmin said 4.66 then turned around and ran home.  It was slightly shorter back so hence the 9 miles.  I think I slogged thru 8:20 pace.
