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 -- XT at the Gym this morning.  Ran 2 miles on the treadmill and then another five miles on the stationary bike.  A little over a 30 minute workout.  This week is going to be difficult for my workout and training.  I am not giving up, just have a number of other things going which make it difficult.

AM -- Needed to get outside to do some running.  In part I wanted to get used to the cold . . . I am going with the Scouts this evening to the Klondike Derby . . . .brrr.  Anyway, good run.  Felt great to be outside and to enjoy a run.  Did my usual route up to Artic Circle and back.  Felt good through the whole run.  My goal next week ought to be five out of the six days running.  Total time was 31.43 for an average pace of 9.04.  Hope to be able to get one day in with Sierra this week.  Maybe tomorrow (as a way to warm up after scout camp:).

Three miles walking up and down hills, and chasing boy scouts at the Klondike Derby.  I had intended to run after getting home but I was tired and figured I had more than the three miles I have listed here.
