I've been running since junior high. Ran middle distance in college with a PB of 1:52 for the 800 meters, then continued running with varying degrees of seriousness throughout my 20's and 30's. Moved up in distance and even ran three marathons (2:43 PB). Now just trying to stay in shape and find balance in life in my 40's.
Short-Term Running Goals:
Work out 30 minutes a day, six days a week
Long-Term Running Goals:
Stay healthy and consistent.
Personal:
Married with 3 children. Work as a school counselor.
Just a thought. I have one repaired achilles and one that complains. I found out last year that serious hiking with a lot of uphill was worse than any running including intervals. Easy hiking was no problem but keeping up with the teenage CC runner on hilly trails was a killer.
You may have a good point! I could feel the achilles squawking going up a talus slope on the way to a lookout station, but it was worth it! Do you wear standard hiking boots or trail running shoes when you backpack and hike?
I usually wear light hiking boots for any real distance or elevation gain. I have done only a little hiking yet this summer but unlike last year achilles is quiet.
