| 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.

| | Ran with my daughter on the Artic Circle loop. Being thanksgiving and the fact that I was later to play a friendly game of flag football with our church group, the run was easy and enjoyable. Happy thanksgiving. |

| | My running parnter wanted to run hills tonight. Humm. I reluctantly agreed. Hills are not my favorite thing and I wanted to have a little more for our long run on tomorrows date. It wasn't too bad . . . even kinda enjoyed the run. |

For now eight is my long run. Ran it with my running buddy. Had a great time. Did discover, however, that we need to get out earlier in the morning. Running after having little to eat and late in the morning made for an upset stomach. Will know better next time. |

| | Ran on the tread mill this morning with a training goal of completing 4.3 miles. My feet are still sore from Saturday. They usually stretch out and feel much better after the first mile. Most of the run both my legs and feet were stiff and sore. Nevertheless, it felt good to finish the run. |

| | Ran this morning at the Gym on a treadmill. It is getting cold enough in the mornings that the Gym sounds like an attractive alternative. Ran the "hills" workout at a level 5 intensity for 38 minutes including 2 minuite cool down. 6.5 MPH on the two biggest hills. 7 MPH (8:30) for the flat streches. Legs felt better today. My feet are still stiff and sore. They did get better after 1.5 miles or so. |

| | Ran again at the Gym. 1.2 mile warm up on the "random" workout @ 6.5 MPH. Stretched my calfs and feet (they were really sore getting out of bed this morning). Then ran the 5 k workout on the treadmill @ 7MPH 8:30 miles. Running my feet and legs did not feel strong, but they were not stiff and sore which is alright with me. |

| | Had to leave St. George early this morning for work related training in SLC. Was able to get in a 5k workout on the treadmill. Ran between 8:30 and 9:00 pace. Felt good. Was glad to get a work out in as the remainder of my day was taken with travel and class room work. Am a little worried about my sore feet. Think I will schedule an appointment with PT and see if there is some stretch exercises or something I can do to help myself. I am enjoying running too much to end up hurting myself. I will try and get in a least one run up here in SLC. Won't be in the morning, however, as I have to catch a bus at 6:30 AM -- would rather be running. |

| | Ran in SLC this evening after my training workshop. Didn't feel energetic at all and I was easily winded. I think pace was around 10:00 miles. It wasn't as cold as I thought it would be. I think the temperature has warmed up due to the storm moving in. Wasn't raining, but the humidity was such that my sweats were damp when I finished. I wondered if part of being winded was the increase in altitude. Also likely due to not much sleep in the last couple of nights. I am proud of myself for getting out and completing the run. This will be my last day for this week, and the las day of the month. I will be in training tomorrow, and then, weather permitting, I will be traveling back home. |
