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.
Ran at 8 p.m. There was a beautiful moon out tonight and gave a bit of a light on the rutted canals, although I still ran slowly. I also did 4 x 10 second Borah hills and 4 x 20 second hard strides midway through the run and finished off with a half mile pickup in the 2:50s range.
Coming down with something and feeling like crap in general. Ran at 9 p.m. at home on the treadmill. Slow pace first 15 minutes with the incline up a bit, then some easy fartlek the last 15 minutes.
I ran 29 minutes pushing Nica in the stroller - part of it really easy with Emily - then took the canals to Borah where I did a mile on the track with 6 x 50m strides. Tired and dehydrated today, but nice weather out.
Jogged a few minutes on the treadmill, then did some stretching and some light weights and core. Had a few minutes to spare before work, so I decided to do something.
