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 after staff meeting. Ran for about twenty-five minutes and then experimented with a beginner cross fit exercise.  My run fel realy good today.  My legs are getting stronger and my lungs are feeling in better shape.  Can't wait for my body to continue to respond to my efforts to train.  I am also looking forward to the 5K on Saturday.

The WOD was as follows

Eight rounds of twenty seconds of work and 10 seconds rest for:

Pushups, Sit ups and squats.  I only finished five rounds due to being burned out and out of time.  I kind of liked the challenge.

AM Run --  Worked out at the Sheriff's office this morning. Ran 4 sets of 400 as part of the Crossfit experience.  I liked the work out all though as I type this I am feeling sore from what I did.  Still looking forward to the 5K on Saturday.

AM Race.  Ben and I ran together and enjoyed a good race.  His ankle hurt mid way through the race.  We ran the first 1.25 miles without stopping and then we stopped periodically through the rest of the race.  I am pleased with myself for accomplishing this goal.  My next goal will be either a 5K at the end of October, or the Butch Cassidy 10K in November.  Between now and then I will continue running, and I will begin incorporating some Crossfit workouts.  I also need to work on stretching out my muscles.
