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 -- Didn't sleep well last night so I slept a little longer this morning and didn't run.  I will get out 4 - 5 times this week, however.

AM Run -- At the Gym with Zac.  Extended the run by a couple of blocks.  I am feeling stronger and I am running longer than at the first of the run than I have in the past.  Kind of fun to see progress.

AM Run -- At the Gym again with Zac.  He was tired and sick this morning.  Not sure how effective his workout was.  I had a good run.  Again I am happy to see progress.  I still have several more weeks to go to get my distance work down so that I can run for thirty minutes straight.  After that I may consider doing some speed work.

My legs were sore this morning.  I guess I haven't gone three days in a row for a little while.  Still I am very grateful that I can run and that I am up and enjoying the morning.  One more run this week.

Chose not to run today.  Had to be to work early and I wanted to spend time with Jill tonight.

AM Run.  I slept in and then went for my run around eight.  That felt really good.  Ran the Artic Circle route plus a little extra to make up the four miles.
