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 -- 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.
