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 Run.  Good workout this morning.  Ran up and back to Artic Circle with a total time of 33.30.  Had one fast mile.  The first day of the week seems to be the best for me.  Love the fact that I can workout and enjoy exercise.

AM -- Tired this morning.  Got out of bed and ran anyway.  Felt good to have it finished up.  Ran up to Artic Circle.  Total workout time is 36.22 min.  I am not going to make my goal for this week.  Will work on it for next week.

AM run.  Beautiful morning for a run.  Nice and cool, but not cold.  Ran my usual . . . up to Artic Circle and back.  Passed Jeff on my way back (he was running the opposite way . . . the only possible way I could pass him).  A few minutes later I ran past a couple other friends.
