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.

PM Run -- Ran after work out at the sheriffs office.  It was a hot day which made for a very sweaty run.   Following the run I did a crossfit work out . . .25 hang cleans, 25 push press  three rounds.  Good work out today.

Crossfit workout during the day at the jail. 

“Chelsea”

5 Pullups
10 Pushups
15 Squats
Every minute on the minute for 30 minutes. Your goal is to do every round (5,10,15) within the minute and complete 30 total rounds. If you do not complete a round within the minute you sit out for 1 round. You can jump back in when the next round starts again. Good [...]

 Finished 22 rounds approximately.  I was very sore the next couple of days.

Crossfit workout at the jail:

 W.O.D.
5 Rounds For time:
15 Box Jumps 24/20″
15 Dead Lifts 135/95#
On every minute, do 3 Burpees until finished with the five rounds.

This workout was a lot more difficult that I thought it would be.  It took me 30 minutes and I didn't get all the sets of Burpees in as I got tired watching the clock.  Again a new level of soreness.

PM Run -- Ran after Jill and I spent the afternoon in Cedar City watching tBen and Zac race.  Sierra is still on the injured list :(.  I ran my usual large loop around the neighborhood.  My back was sore from the previous workouts this week and my feet have been very sore after the run.  Good workout though.

BYU lost to USU tonight.  It is going to be a very long season for Y fans.
