| Member Since: Nov 19, 2007 Gender: Male Goal Type: Half Marathon Finish Running Accomplishments: Recently have become interested in running thanks to my daughter and her XC adventures. I have finished a 5K and 10K. As I am new to running, I don't have a lot of highlites at this point. Hopefully this will change
5K 27:21
10K 59:30 Short-Term Running Goals: First build back up to running thirty minutes at a time. 5K October 30 -- Big Brothers, Big Sisters.
10k in November -- Butch Cassidy race in Springdale.
I would like to build a solid base over the next 6 - 12 months. I hope to run in either 5K or 10K races through the next year and perhaps one 1/2 marathon (depending on how my body responds to training).
I would like to see how fast and far my 40 + year old body is capable of running. Long-Term Running Goals: Over the next 10 years I want to run consistently to maintain health and to enjoy a sport that challenges me. Personal: I have a wonderful marriage of 20+ years and have four children who are the light of my life. They range in age from 19 - 12 . . . two girls and two boys. Two of my children are interested in running. Sierra and Zac are both participating on the Pine View XC Team.

| | AM -- different route today. Ran down to the river and the trails down there. Went out 1.75 miles and then back home via a slightly different route (through our old neighborhood). Ran much faster that I have in the last little while in part because I needed to be home, and in part because my legs felt stronger than usual. Had a great time the rest of the day. |

| | AM -- Run up to Artic Circle and back plus one mile loop. Good run. I have had a couple of days off and that seems to have resulted in my legs feeling well rested and strong. Avg pace was 8:30 per mile. |

| | Spent the day skiing. Doesn't count for running, but I did get a good workout from the activity. I also enjoyed plenty of sun, good company, and a heck of a lot of fun. |

| | AM -- Artic circle run this morning. Did not want to get out of bed following a short vacation. Did anyway and had a slow but enjoyable run. Feels good to be continually making progress toward my goals. Should get another 8 miles in before the end of the week. |

6:15 AM run -- Artic Circle and back for four miles at a total workout time of 35 min. This morning was beautiful out. The temperature was mild. I could have run without a sweatshirt for the first time this year. Also with daylight savings time the stars are still out when I start my run in the morning. Love the quiet and the solitude. |

| | AM Run -- Artic Circle route. Easy run this morning 9 min mile avg. Felt a little tired, but not enough not to enjoy the run. My feet are doing ok. When I started the moon was beautiful and very low in the sky. By the time I had finished it had disappeared from the horizon. |

| | Missed a run today. Family stuff and life happened. Made some decisions to do other things and I don't really feel bad about it. My goal for next week will be to increase my miles to 18 - 19 miles. Looking forward to the challenge. |

| | AM run. Beautiful morning for a run. Nice and cool, but not cold. Ran my usual . . . up to Artic Circle and back. Passed Jeff on my way back (he was running the opposite way . . . the only possible way I could pass him). A few minutes later I ran past a couple other friends. |
