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. Zac didn't got to Crossfit -- wanted to be fresh for Region today. I ran around home . . . my starter loop. Able to run just over a mile today without stopping. Progress!!! I am feeling much better than I have been in the past.

AM Run -- Zac was back a the Gym this morning and I am back running in St. George. Enjoyed the run, but I did not get enough sleep.

I enjoyed watching the Region Cross Country meet yesterday. Both Zac and Sierra ran. This was Sierra's last region meet and she ran an outstanding race. I felt proud of both.

AM run -- Zac and I nearly slept through and missed the workout this morning. Sierra woke us both . . . . thx Sierra. I am feeling stronger as I am now running up to eight minutes at a time. I am taking fewer walking breaks, and those breaks are for shorter periods of time. My ankles are still sore . . . probably the worst part of my body at the moment. I am grateful to be running.

Hiked for two plus miles today up at Zion's Park. Not real strenuous, but thought I would count it into my milage calculator. Had a great time with our family. Even ran a little as we were trying to get Sierra back for work at 1500 :)
