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 with Sierra. Went up to Pine View HS and ran 800 meter repeats. Good workout. We are thinking about running an upcoming 5k. Need to see if it interferes with track first.
AM Run -- Ran my usual this morning. It is a beautiful time of year to be out running in the morning. I am glad that I ran. I felt much more tired than usual. Need to make sure I am giving my body time to rest and recover.
