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.

Twice this week.  It feels good to be up and running again.  Looking forward to improving.  My short term goal is to run 4 - 5 times per week thirty minutes at a time.  Mostly walking at this stage of the game.

PM Run.  I hadn't planned on running tonight.  I found out a couple of days ago that it was PVXC run athon and that friends and family were invited to run from 6 - 7 PM.  Soo Jill, Ben, and I supported Zachary and Sierra and went for a run.  I had to work until 6 so I was a little late getting there.  Sierra is a fast runner.  Used to be that she thought I was fast. She has grown and is doing a great job.  The PVXC team has grown and is doing great. It was great to see so many people out running.

AM -- I ran this morning for the  department PT testing.  I am glad that I have been working at it the last couple of weeks.  The run would have been miserable.  After the 1.5, I did another 1.5 + for a total thirty-five minute work out.  Felt good.  Bench was 185, Jump 25", Situps 37, and pushups were 40.

AM Run after staff meeting. Ran for about twenty-five minutes and then experimented with a beginner cross fit exercise.  My run fel realy good today.  My legs are getting stronger and my lungs are feeling in better shape.  Can't wait for my body to continue to respond to my efforts to train.  I am also looking forward to the 5K on Saturday.

The WOD was as follows

Eight rounds of twenty seconds of work and 10 seconds rest for:

Pushups, Sit ups and squats.  I only finished five rounds due to being burned out and out of time.  I kind of liked the challenge.

AM Race.  Ben and I ran together and enjoyed a good race.  His ankle hurt mid way through the race.  We ran the first 1.25 miles without stopping and then we stopped periodically through the rest of the race.  I am pleased with myself for accomplishing this goal.  My next goal will be either a 5K at the end of October, or the Butch Cassidy 10K in November.  Between now and then I will continue running, and I will begin incorporating some Crossfit workouts.  I also need to work on stretching out my muscles.

 W.O.D.
5 Rounds For time:
15 Box Jumps 24/20″
15 Dead Lifts 135/95#
On every minute, do 3 Burpees until finished with the five rounds.

This workout was a lot more difficult that I thought it would be.  It took me 30 minutes and I didn't get all the sets of Burpees in as I got tired watching the clock.  Again a new level of soreness.

BYU lost to USU tonight.  It is going to be a very long season for Y fans.

Hiked for two plus miles today up at Zion's Park.  Not real strenuous, but thought I would count it into my milage calculator.  Had a great time with our family.  Even ran a little as we were trying to get Sierra back for work at 1500 :)

Some of the weight loss is undoubtedly water weight.  I am a little dehydrated today.

AM Run -- I ran at home with Sierra.  Zac, I think, has given up the morning workout at the Gym.  This morning was a nice easy run.  Sierra felt a little sick at the mid way point, but then felt better and was able to finish the run.  It was nice to be able to run with her again.

AM Run -- Tried to get Sierra to run with me this morning.  She, however, had planned an afternoon run with her friends.  It was cold this morning.  I have a hard time getting out the door and into the cold.  Once there, I really enjoyed my run.  Ran my usual four mile route.

AM Run  --  I got out later than usual.  My bed was much more comfortable this morning than the cold out doors.  I ran my usual four mile route.  Nice run.  Two miles without stopping.  Stretched and then another two miles with one walking break.  I am nearly to the point I could do the whole two miles.

AM Run.  I ran my usual route this morning.  I got out later than I wanted -- 0630.  I would have liked to been out running by 0500.  Ran 2.0 miles straight.  Small walking break in the second 2 miles.

AM Run.  I slept in this morning.  Jill and I went to Washington Elementary to pick up produce, and then I ran home.  Ran without stopping.  I was disappointed to learn that the distance wasn't 3.  I would have liked to say I ran a 5 k this morning.  Nevertheless, my endurance has improved and I am happy with my follow through and commitment.

AM Run -- I slept in again this morning so I didn't get out on my run until 0630.  It was raining lightly, the streets were wet, and it was not really that cold.  I loved the run.  I ran the three miles without a break.  I am excited that my endurance has improved.  I will keep working at it this month.  My goal in December is to improve 10% in my mileage from November.  Overall that will be 73 miles.  That will be a mix of three and four miles a day.

I am posting this late so I don't remember a lot about this run.  This week I woke up later than usual and therefore did not have as much time.  The mornings this week have been nice . . . not as cold.  I am still running in my sweats, headband, and gloves.

AM Run this morning before taking Zac out to the Hurricane Invitational.  Only had time to go three.  That is as far as I wanted to go for my weekly mileage.  This was a good week for me.  Overall my legs felt stronger and my endurance has improved.  I will keep going to reach my goal for the month.

AM Run -- Strained a calf muscle about 3/4 through my run.  I don't know how I strained the muscle.  It just tightened up and then felt like it cramped up.  I stopped for a short time and then finished.  As I write this I have taken some IBU and used wintercrest.  The musclue is still sore.  I hope it doesn't interfere with my goal.

Cross fit training day as I strained a muscle in my left calf.  I am kind of bummed about not being able to run.

AM Run.  My leg was sore this moring and threatened to cramp up the last 1/4 of a mile.  I took two walking breaks to give my leg a rest.  Felt good to run again.  Wish my leg would cooperate.

AM Run.  I got up early before Zac had to be to his wrestling match and ran three miles.  I took Zac and Trevor over the Dixie High School, did a few errands at home, and then went to Golds for 30 + minutes.  I worked on the Eliptical, and the stationary bike.  I also did a little weights lifting.  Good workout for the day.  Ran three miles.

AM Run -- It is drizzling out side this morning.  Made is so that I was soaked by the time I finished my run.  That doesn't happen often in the desert.  I did enjoy my run, the cool temperatures, the sound of car tires on wet roads, and periodically splashing around in a rain puddle.  When was the last time I did that.  My left leg is still sore and weaker that it has been in the past couple of months.  I am not sure what that is about.  I wondered this morning if some of it was that I haven't stretched really well.  So, now I am stretching to see if I can't resolve this little problem.  Ran past Article Circle and on to the BLVD.

Leg is still a little sore. At the end of the run it feels like my left calf is going to cramp up.  No fun.

Merry Christmas All.  My children gave me a Garmin.  Should be fun to play with.  Maybe I will be more accurate with my miles.

PM Run.  I ran this week with Zachary and Sierra after work.  Ran up past AC and then down past the hospital and on to the Post Office.  Jessica was kind enough to pick us up after the run.

PM Run at Gold's Gym.  It was cold and raining outside and I didn't want to battle the wet.  Spent time on the Eliptical, and the tread mill.  Also a little bit of weight training.
