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.

Ran a super easy 4 mile shakeout run.  I have been really sore since doing weights Friday, so left my watch at home and ran for fun.  Beautiful morning, before the rain hit, and enjoyed the trails behind Lagoon.

 Can't seem to get 8 hrs of sleep tho.

 Did Yoga for strength after work.  Amazingly, my hips and hamstrings felt awesome after this!

Met Rachel at Canyon Sports in Riverdale planning to run on the parkway, but it was flooded about a mile into it, so we turned and went back and ran the other way.  I messed up my GPS, but Rachel's watch said 56 minutes, so I am guessing about 6.6 miles.

Another toss & turn night of sleep.  Argh, I have no idea what is going on.  I was pressed for time this morning, so ran 8.5 mile loop from home to Centerville and back.  Very slow pace.  1:11 total.  Ran into a couple of friends which was nice.  Goal was to just take it easy.
