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.

Parked at the Capitol, ran to the city creek guardshack (1mi) for potty, then ran up Bonneville Blvd to 11th all the way to Virginia.  Easy pace.  Then turned and ran something like MP back.  First .6 or so is a slight uphill.  Maybe 7:45 pace, then downhill maybe 7:30s.  My GPS messed up big time.  Ran back to the guardshack for another drink and tempoed back to the capitol.  Bad thing was I hit lap on the GPS, not start so I am guessing aroun 6:50 pace.

Started at the Capitol and ran towards the City Creek gate and then up the canyon to the 2 mi marker.  Temps were nice & cool.  Ran listening to podcasts and relaxed.  Then for the way down, decided to work on form and see if I could tempo it down.  First mile 6:55, second mile 6:46, last mile ... 6:35!  Felt great.

 After work, went to Yoga for Core Strength.  1.5 hrs!  Exhausted, but glad I went.

Opted to run with huz this morning. Usually, we don't do long runs together as he is much slower. However, I was still sore & tired from Thursday so thought it might work. We started at the Einsteins on S. Temple in SLC and ran up City Creek Canyon, until my Garmin said 6 miles. Pace was very slow and relaxed and we stopped for water and potty breaks when we needed them. Nice thing about this route! We then turned around and ran easy down the canyon. After a mile or so, I started to feel good so told R he was on his own. We both brought our Ipods just in case, so it worked. I ran back to the starting point, grabbed my hand held water bottle from the car and looped thru the Aves.

Overall felt good energy wise, but sooooo sore in the glutes and legs.
