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 run with Sierra.  Went up to Pine View HS and ran 800 meter repeats.  Good workout.  We are thinking about running an upcoming 5k.  Need to see if it interferes with track first.

AM Run -- Ran my usual this morning.  It is a beautiful time of year to be out running in the morning.  I am glad that I ran.  I felt much more tired than usual.  Need to make sure I am giving my body time to rest and recover.

Focusing on getting enough rest.  Hopefully later in the week or the first of next week I will be able to be back running.  Again the lungs are in no shape.  I feel like falling asleep at my work desk.  Yuck.

AM -- I'm back . . . Yeah.  It is surprising how quickly getting out of a habit can happen.  I guess by the same token, however, you can just as quickly get back into one. I got up and ran this morning.  My legs felt great . . . strong.  My lungs, however, are only at about 80%.  Still recovering from the cold, but I was able to run the distance and enjoy the exercise.  Glad to be feeling better.

AM -- Ran on the treadmill this morning.  Just felt like going to the Gym instead of being out on the road today.  It has been a long time since I have run on the treadmill.  My lungs are feeling better . . . still not 100%.

AM -- Got up a little late; I had a hard time sleeping last night.  Decided that regardless of the time I would make it out for a run.  Glad I did as it feels good to have finished.  Ran my usual route up to AC and back.  Total exercise time was 31.45.  Good times.

AM -- My miles today are not running miles. Zac and I got up early this morning to go hiking. He needed a five mile hike to complete his Second Class Scout badge so we piled in the car along with one of his friends at 7:00 AM and headed toward Snow Canyon. We hiked 2.5 miles in to a Geo cache called Erastus Snow. It was an amazing view. The hiking was strenuous at times and at other times easy going. Over all my legs are tired tonight. I guess the qualifies as a good workout. The views, by the way were incredible. We hiked out on to a mesa / cliff overlooking snow canyon. Had a great time.

AM -- Out for a run. A little different route this morning. Ran from home over to Chuck-a-Rama and then back again. Nice and cool this morning. Hoping the cool lasts a long time this year. Any way love being out running. My goal for this week is 16.5 miles . . . up 1.5 from last week.
