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 -- Dropped Zac off at the Gym and ran.  The fresh smell from last night's rain smelled good and I enjoyed a cool run.  The roads were wet . . . I love this time of year.

AM Run.  Back to running again this week.  I had a number of things this week that interfered with my exercise.  Ran today in St. George after dropping Zac off for his morning workout.  I felt a lot stronger and I had more stamina than I have had.  Good run.

PM Run at home. Ran the Article Circle route.  I extended it a little by running over to sunrise tire and then up the foremaster hill and back down.  Good run.  Felt like I am getting stronger.
