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.

Early morning meetings, still tired from my cold.  Family activities most of the evening.

Just not in the habit of getting up now.  . . . no other excuses for not running.  Tomorrow.

AM -- I'm back . . . Yeah.  It is surprising how quickly getting out of a habit can happen.  I guess by the same token, however, you can just as quickly get back into one. I got up and ran this morning.  My legs felt great . . . strong.  My lungs, however, are only at about 80%.  Still recovering from the cold, but I was able to run the distance and enjoy the exercise.  Glad to be feeling better.

AM -- Ran on the treadmill this morning.  Just felt like going to the Gym instead of being out on the road today.  It has been a long time since I have run on the treadmill.  My lungs are feeling better . . . still not 100%.

PM run at the Gym.  Just needed to get the run in tonight.  Glad to be back running and be healthy enough to enjoy this exercise.
