| 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 -- Still working out at the Gym in the morning. Worked on the Eliptical, ran 1 mile on the treadmill and then spent time on the stationary bike. My foot is feeling a little better. I may try to get out running again for three mile stretches. Glad to be working out. Total workout time is 30 minutes. |

| | Ran with Sierra up at Fish Lake. The altitude and the fact that I have not been running consistently kicked my backside. I was tired and had a difficult time running. The second mile was into a stiff wind which I have found difficult. |

| | Two miles hiking in the mountains. No running. Gave that up after yesterday's battle . . . at least until I get home and can start running consistently again. The hike was beautiful. |

| | Decided to try jogging on the tread mill. Felt good. No problems with my ankle or tendon. Great. Will trying continuing with 2 miles a day for a week or two to see how my leg reacts and then gradually increase. I am also going to do some weight training. Figure it can't hurt to strength my leg muscles. |

| | Ran on the tread mill for 2.3 miles. Then worked out on the stationary bike for another 16 minutes or so. Felt good. Legs are a little tight. Just taking things slowly and a little at a time. |
