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 -- Just getting back into running again.  Ran three minutes and walked for two.  Thirty five minutes total work out time and then stretching.  This workout makes me wish I had never stopped running.  Anyway, I am slowly making progress toward my goal.

AM Run -- I ran three minutes walked two.  Total work out time was thirty five minutes.  Eighteen minutes running and seventeen minute walk time.  I ran further this morning than I have since I started back up.

 It was nice and cool this morning -- great for Saint George weather.

AM -- Run.  Took a scheduled break yesterday.  Back running this morning using the same routine.  Three minutes running, two minutes walking.  My legs are getting stronger as I covered more distance today.  Total work out time was thirty-six minutes.  I love the way I feel after running.

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.

PM -- Cardio work out.  Gave my legs a break from running and went to Golds Gym.  Twenty minutes on the Eliptical, and twenty-five minutes on the stationary bike.  Enjoyed the work out

 I was up at 0730 this morning.  I cleaned off Sierra's car windows,  and mowed the front lawn.  Jill, Ben and I then mowed the lawns at the condos, and at Grandpa Shorts place. It has been a physically active day.
