| 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.

| | PM -- Out for a run this evening. Ran the usual route. A little different feel than running in the morning. Lots of nice smells . . . flowers are out, dinners are cooking ummm.. It was nice and cool as well. The only down side is that I think I swallowed a flying bug type creature about mid way through. Tried to cough it up and that didn't work so good . . . a little extra protein in my diet. Anyway, glad to get and get the run in. Total work out time 36.30.

| | PM -- Out for another run in the evening. Guess the bugs didn't do me in to badly. Bought a new pair of shoes earlier today. Really like their feel. Look forward to another good week of running and exercising. |

| | AM -- Didn't think I would run this morning for one thing or another. Mostly my right ankle and tendon are hurting pretty good. Nevertheless I decided a short run may help loosen things up. Sore most of the run, but it felt good. Total exercise time was 20.20. Hope this is just a minor injury.

| | PM -- Went up to the Gym for a workout. Ran for 3 miles in 27 minutes. Stretched out. Felt good. Not sure what happened last week. I know I was busy, but I could have made it work. Live and learn and onward. |

| | AM Run. Ran my usual route minus .25 of a mile. Nice morning. I really need to be out running every morning between now and the time it gets out of control hot. My legs are tight and sore this morning and I am tired. Having problems sleeping grrr . . . it ought to be as simple as closing one's eyes, but not lately. |

| | AM -- Ran my usual minus .25 miles. Nice out this morning. Not as cool as it has been in the past few weeks (dang it). Felt a little of the summer weather coming. Not looking forward to the intense heat. Thankfully it is only 10 - 12 weeks and then starts cooling down again. I have not been feeling well this week; sore throat, aches and other pains. Obviously not enough to stop the run. |

AM -- a little frustrated today. I guess I should learn to listen to the advice of those who have been there -- a little at a time and build up mileage before running really hard. I ran really hard several weeks back during a work physical fitness test. I was happy with my performance, but ended up injuring myself. Since that time my right ankle and Achilles tendon have been sore and tender. The last two weeks have been down right painful in the morning. So I have decided to listen to my body and back off on my running goals for a short while and work instead on some cardio in the gym for a few weeks. Will be working on the Eliptical and on the stationary bike. Both get my heart pumping, without the jarring of running. I dislike (hate) set backs. Oh well. |

| | PM -- Worked out at the Gym this evening. Total workout time was 35 minutes. 1.25 miles on the Eliptical. 1 mile slow run on the tread mill, and 4.5 miles on the stationary bike. Good workout. Would rather have been running though. |

PM -- Worked out at the Gym for 40 minutes or so this evening. Felt good to get out and exercise. Think I will give my ankle and Achilles tendon a break for a couple of weeks and see if that makes any difference. Besides I want to start getting in shape enough so that I could ride my bike to work -- my way of rebelling against the oil tycoons.
