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 from the Outlet Campground where we were staying. Ran on the beach and some random singletrack before finding the trail I was looking for. Did a few minutes on that before it got too steep and headed back to camp for dinner. 6700' elevation is tough at my marginal fitness level.
Ran at 9 pm after driving back from Stanley. Picked some blackberries and brought home a bag (added bonus). The empty 24 ounce can of Miller High Life floating by me in the canal as I was picking the berries reminded me I was really living the "High Life."
Body felt absolutely horrible this morning, so I slogged through a few miles. Did 3 x 200m at the track in 44 seconds - it was like nightmares I used to have where I was running in quicksand and getting passed by everyone. At least I got out though...
Worked out with Emily at CSI. Did 28 minutes on the indoor track, including some sprints, 13 minutes on the elliptical and then 16 minutes running back to Mom and Dad's. Actually was fun!
Steady pace with 4 x 2:00 pickups during the middle of the run. Pretty warm still in the evening, but felt OK, especially after a long drive back from SLC.
