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.

This wasn't running this morning.  I was up at scout camp.  Hiked 2 miles in the evening, and I am sure walked another two during the day.  My heart rate was up several times for a sustained period.  Enjoyed nature and being with my son.

Helped one of our scouts finish his orienteering merit badge.  This required two orienteering courses and then creating a third.  I had a nice blister to show off my efforts.  Enjoyable afternoon.

Bad week for exercise.  Had many other things going on that I spent my time with.  Enjoyed being outside for a run.  I have lost some of what I had.  Will need to work on it over the next few weeks.

Worked out at the Gym.  Total time 33 minutes.  Worked on the Eliptical, treadmill, and stationary bike.  Good workout.  Getting out of shape, however.  I need to step it up.
