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.

Zac didn't want to go to the jail this morning so I ran my four mile loop at home.  Ran two miles straight this morning.  On the way back I stopped once for under a minute break.  My endurance is getting a lot better.

AM Run from the Gym this morning.  Felt good mostly.  My calfs were sore and legs tired.  Not sure what that was about.

AM Run.  Ran the Artic Circle route this morning.  I had a really hard time motivating myself to get up and run.  Again my legs were tired.

AM Run.  Varied my work out this morning to include sprints during the first 1.5 miles.  I would sprint a short distance, walk to regain my breathe jog and then sprint again.  The second 1.5 miles I ran all the way.
